I went ahead and updated the MLT internal libebur128 source files to match the upstream source files. Everything works. So MLT is compatible with libebur128 1.2.0. Then, I looked into detecting the installed version of libebur128. Unfortunately, the debian package for libebur128 does not provide a pkg-config file: https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/libebur128-1/filelist MLT does not use autotools to generate the makefiles. So detecting the installed version is not trivial. I think the next steps to get where you want to be are: 1) Update the libebur128 .deb to include .pc files for pkg-config 2) Update MLT to perform the detection ~Brian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Mlt-devel mailing list Mlt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mlt-devel
