VLC 1.1.0 Linux Compile error in taglib.cpp

[natanael]

Hi, I get an error compiling 1.1.0 sources in Ubuntu:

taglib.cpp: In function 'void ReadMetaFromMP4(TagLib::MP4::Tag*, demux_t*, demux_meta_t*, vlc_meta_t*)':
taglib.cpp:329: error: 'CoverArtList' is not a member of 'TagLib::MP4'

I have installed the libtag-dev packages version 1.6 but no success. I have also downloaded the latest version 1.6.3 but still the same problem ?
Do I need anything else ? I don't want to compile it with --disable-taglib option.

Thanks and regards

git or tarball?

[natanael]

tarball for VLC and taglib 1.6.3
There is SVN for taglib, not git repo.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

comment the code around this part in taglib.cpp

[natanael]

Yes I have commented out the code in ReadMetaFromMP4() and now compiles.

Regards

weird, it is like your taglib advertises its MP4 support, but doesn't have it in fact.

[natanael]

Yes very strange.

I have at /usr/local/include/taglib/
mp4coverart.h that creates CoverArtList as a List (typedef List<CoverArt> CoverArtList;)
mp4item.h includes mp4coverart.h
mp4tag.h includes mp4item.h
mp4file.h includes mp4tag.h
and finally mp4file.h is included in vlc-1.1.0/modules/meta_engine/taglib.cpp when TAGLIB_WITH_MP4 is defined.

So why ?

taglib.cpp:329: error: 'CoverArtList' is not a member of 'TagLib::MP4'
taglib.cpp:329: error: expected ';' before 'list'
taglib.cpp:330: error: missing template arguments before '[' token
taglib.cpp:330: error: 'TagLib::MP4::CoverArt' has not been declared

No clue.

I am having the same problem compiling vlc 1.1 on Ubuntu Karmic. taglib is v. 1.6.2 (ubuntu package)

Update to VLC 1.1.1 git version.
