Howto install Avidemux 2.6 on OSX using Homebrew

[Jan Gruuthuse]

Upload dmg package to rapidshare or similar web service and provide a publicly available download link for it.

Thanks again, think some user(s) will test this and let us know how it went.

[styrol]

The only things remaining is to have somebody else to test it on another mac

Here I am... :-)

Thanks Jan, I would prefer not to have to create an account on rapid share if possible.

Styrol, thanks for your offer, i suggested an alternative method in pm. Sorry for pm you without asking first, please let me know if this suits you or i'll look for something else (or if you have an alternative please let me know).

Regards

[Jan Gruuthuse]

I do understand, created an upload folder here: ... where you can upload without registering.

I suggested an alternative method in pm.

I answered via pm.

Thank you

Let's see Styrol feedback, and then maybe we can share the package.

I did have access to an untouched 10.7.5 system yesterday (meaning no homebrew or macports was installed).
The application does not open, this is what Console says:

[0x0-0x7d07d].Avidemux.org: dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui
[0x0-0x7d07d].Avidemux.org:   Referenced from: /Users/user/Desktop/Avidemux2.6.app/Contents/MacOS/../Resources/bin/avidemux
[0x0-0x7d07d].Avidemux.org:   Reason: image not found
[0x0-0x7d07d].Avidemux.org: /Users/user/Desktop/Avidemux2.6.app/Contents/MacOS/Avidemux2.6.app: line 3:  1969 Trace/BPT trap: 5       $DIR/../Resources/bin/avidemux

So Avidemux tries to load QtGui from

Code Select Expand

/usr/local/lib/QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui
instead of

Code Select Expand

/Applications/Avidemux2.6.app/Contents/Frameworks/QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui
(respectively the corresponding relative path)

So there is still a problem.

(On my own system it runs, but I have QtGui.framework installed in usr/local/lib by Homebrew)

[Shotokan81]

Thank you Styrol for your tests and sorry I did not manage to find out myself.

@Mean, I could reproduce the error: simply changing the file name from

Code Select Expand

/usr/local/lib/QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui
to

Code Select Expand

/usr/local/lib/QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui2
and the application does not launch.

If there is a solution to test, I can try and test locally using the above.

May I be correct to guess it relates to this function in the python script osx_libs.py?

Code Select Expand

changeQtPluginLinkPath(qtPluginFolder)

Is there a way in the source folder to see if the link has been updated in a source file to be used for compilation?

Regards

[mean]

To be sure, for each file in Application/xxx/bin, Application/xxx/lib
the output of
otool -L xxxxx
should NOT contain anything related to /usr/local or /home/xxxx

The osx_libs.py script should remap all the references to application relative path
Here it seems the Qt ones are not remapped correctly

No need to do the whole bootstrap to tune it, you can just run the osx_libs.py script until it is ok
THEN rerun bootstrap one last time

[mitchde]

I think same prob is in the available nigthy build (at least for me). app crashes and lastest things it does was using QT stuff.

I dont know if it happens by using QT libs from /Library/Frameworks/ instead of using libs from app path.

Thank you. I executed the below command in bin (under the app folder):

for file in ./*; do echo "$file"; otool -L $file | grep -e '/usr/local' -e '/home'; done

It gave the below results:

I did not find how to make it recursive yet.

However, I am not sure what you mean from there.
I should run the script osx_libs.py from the app folder (under applications)?
Then I should recompile from the app folder (under applications)?
I am asking because the source files are not in the application.

Or should I do it from the source folder?
I am asking because this is what I did already to get this app.
Do you mean I should run the script several times until the references disappear from the source folder, and then compile?

[mean]

I mean you could do the following several times :
* Tweak the script
* Run the script
* Check with otool

THANKS - no no more crashing!

Info On Building 2.6.0 or 2.6svn Using Homebrew

  Save this link as:  /usr/local/Library/Formula/avidemux3.rb

To brew Avidemux-2.6.0 after you've saved that link:

[..]

And finally you can build 2.6svn from the master repo (recommended):

Code Select Expand


brew rm -f avidemux3
brew install --HEAD avidemux3


No formula has to be installed manually anymore, the formula is delivered by Homebrew itself now and its name is "avidemux" (not avidemux3 anymore). After installation an App will be created in your Applications folder and there is finally a audio output device available (you have to select it in the preferences of the App: Edit -> Preferences -> Audio -> AudioDevice: "CoreAudio").

(1) Install XCode and the Command Line Tools of XCode following the step 1 of this manual.

(2) Install Homebrew using the following Terminal command:

Code Select Expand

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"

(3) Install the latest version of Avidemux (nightly version, recommended) using the following Terminal command:

Code Select Expand

brew install --HEAD avidemux

(4) When the installation has finished, you are asked to make an alias of the app in your Application folder using this command:

Code Select Expand

brew linkapps

--------------------------------
If you want to update Avidemux to the latest nightly version:

Code Select Expand

brew rm -f avidemux
brew install --HEAD avidemux

If you want to install the "stable" version of Avidemux (Milestone):

Code Select Expand

brew install avidemux

If you encounter permission errors, refer to the manual mentioned in step 1.
