Hello,
Hi,
My first post here. I guess I just want to ask if transcode has been succesfuly installed on Centos 5 by anyone yet. That is the platform on which I am trying to get it going on but the make fails horribly. I thought perhaps because of the missing extras that the configure script shows but the doc 'seems' to imply that these are really optional packages anyway. I'm pretty sure it's user error because I'm missing something but I'm not savvy enough to know what I'm missing.
First and foremost, you just need a recent ffmpeg installation with (very recommended) shared libraries installed. It's recommended to grab SVN snapshot of ffmpeg and compile it from scratch; Maybe there are some precompiled packages (freshrmps.net?) recent enough (ffmpeg is a fast-moving project) even for CentOS, I just don't know. Second, transcode has a lot of optional packages and features, but of course if you explicitely enable them, you will need to have the corresponding packages installed :) (don't forget to install -devel packages as well!) Say, libjpeg, libdvdread, lame (seeing your output posted previously). Lastly, I strongly recommed to upgrade at least to transcode 1.0.3 if not 1.0.4rc0 directly; you can find the source tarballs on http://fromani.exit1.org. Bests, -- Francesco Romani // Ikitt
