You need to look a little closer. We have three versions available in ports - multimedia/ffmpeg which is at 0.7.15 multimedia/ffmpeg1 which is at 1.2.1 - updated 2 days ago multimedia/ffmpeg-devel which is an svn snapshot at 2012.10.13 You will find a lot of ports are still configured to use 0.7.15. The main catch is the ports are designed to co-exist so ffmpeg1 has the trailing 1 added to all the lib/cli names. I have had no problems using ffmpeg1 with my version of blender for several months now. It has a cmake option for lib names and then I added include/ffmpeg1 to C/CXXFLAGS and lib/ffmpeg1 to LDFLAGS. Hi Shane, This should probably be in the multimedi chapter of the Handbook or the FAQ, or in the UPDATING file of the ports. Would you mind if I copied parts of the text and added them to e.g the FAQ? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Hi Shane,
This should probably be in the multimedi chapter of the Handbook or
the FAQ, or in the UPDATING file of the ports. Would you mind if I
copied parts of the text and added them to e.g the FAQ?
sure - I'm thinking FAQ. Maybe start with the following -
To use ffmpeg1 with an existing port.
The first step is to get the ffmpeg1 headers and libs found, this should
be easily accomplished with the following (an easy way to first check
that the port compiles with ffmpeg1) -
CFLAGS+=-I${LOCALBASE}/include/ffmpeg1
CXXFLAGS+= -I${LOCALBASE}/include/ffmpeg1
LDFLAGS+= -L${LOCALBASE}/lib/ffmpeg1
If the project source hasn't kept up with ffmpeg changes then you may be
able to replace some of the old functions to quickly keep it working
with the newer version. Blender can be source of inspiration for this -
http://projects.blender.org/scm/viewvc.php/trunk/blender/intern/ffmpeg/ffmpeg_compat.h?view=markuproot=bf-blender
The next step is to get it linking with the new lib names, these are
the ffmpeg lib names with a 1 appended to them eg. libavcodec1 instead
of libavcodec. Some ports may have options to make this easy for example
graphics/blender has a cmake variable called FFMPEG_LIBRARIES so adding
CMAKE_ARGS+=-DFFMPEG_LIBRARIES:STRING=avformat1;avcodec1;avutil1;avdevice1;swscale1
to the port Makefile handles that. Other ports may need a search and
replace such as sed 's|avcodec|avcodec1|g' or a patch manually made
for their Makefiles.

FFMpeg and FreeBSD
Hello Everyone, Does anyone use the latest FFMpeg version 1.2 and FreeBSD? How did you compile it? did you run into any issues? The FFMpeg port is 6+ months behind and I feel like I'm the only one who uses this which would be very odd given everything uses video nowadays.

Waitman Gobble San Jose California USA Thanks, can you confirm you compiled version 1.2 from source without issues? I saw a lot of patches in older port versions of it, so I assumed I will have many issues. The ffmpeg-develop port installs oct 2012 version which is even older than ffmpeg1 port, I believe. -Simon ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Thanks for the info. I did an update of my ports tree last Friday, when I also emailed the maintainer of FFmpeg port. As I received no response, I assumed the port hasn't changed. I just synced my ports and see the 1.2.1 in ffmpeg1 I would like to thank Martin for the update! -Simon ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
