In my long journey trying to build many of the multimedia apps, I go to xine-libs. The build failed with about 3000 lines of errors.
The failed module was src/video_out/video_out_xxmc.c I've built xine-libs before without error, but I checked previous logs and found checking whether to enable the xxmc plugin with vld extensions... checking for XvMCPutSlice in -lXvMCW... no *** Could not link with -lXvMCW for vld extensions. checking for XvMCCreateContext in -lXvMCW... no *** Could not link with -lXvMCW for standard XvMC. *** Disabling xxmc plugin due to above errors. in my current build I have checking whether to enable the xxmc plugin with vld extensions... checking for XvMCPutSlice in -lXvMCW... yes checking X11/extensions/vldXvMC.h usability... yes checking X11/extensions/vldXvMC.h presence... yes checking for X11/extensions/vldXvMC.h... yes checking X11/extensions/XvMC.h usability... yes checking X11/extensions/XvMC.h presence... yes checking for X11/extensions/XvMC.h... yes *** Enabling xxmc plugin with vld extensions. so I suspect the problem has to do with not building this module before. I went out and got the latest xine-lib-1.1.4 and it builds cleanly. I notice the book says: "You will need to pass --with-xv-path=</directory/path> to configure if you didn't install Xorg or XFree86 in /usr/X11R6. For example, if you installed Xorg in /usr, you will need to use --with-xv-path=/usr/lib." but I didn't do that. It *might* be the cause of error, but I would've thought I'd seen an error in configure or a header not found. Instead I got tons of parse errors. The switch is not needed for xine-lib-1.1.4. I did not check out the statement: Trying to use the locally installed FFmpeg library by passing --with-external-ffmpeg to configure may not compile cleanly. OTOH, there are about a hundred other options I didn't try on this package. Should I put xine-lib-1.1.4 in the book for this release? -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
