[2.5.6][Debian] undefined reference to ff_se_golomb_vlc_code

[urichter]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile avidemux-2.5.6 on Debian Squeeze + Debian-Multimedia, but it fails to compile. Its running up to this error:

Linking CXX executable avidemux2_cli
ADM_infoExtractor/libADM_infoExtractor_cli.a(ADM_infoextractor_h264.cpp.o): In function `get_se_golomb':
ADM_infoextractor_h264.cpp:(.text+0x3a3): undefined reference to `ff_se_golomb_vlc_code'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
From what I can tell, it seems as if libADM_infoExtractor_cli.a needs to be linked against golomb.o from ffmpeg, but it isn't, although the proper file is located in build/avidemux/ADM_libraries/ffmpeg/libavcodec. This is probably some kind of cmake-magic going wrong, but I have no clue where to start searching.

I've tried avidemux-2.5.6 original source code and the svn 2.5 branch.

TIA,

Udo

Have you all the dependencies? Compiling Avidemux 2.5.x _{<- click} On ubuntu 11.10 64-bit still compiles (standard) alright. If it is of any use to you: included the terminal output of compiling svn avidemux 2.5.5.

Are you forcing a debug build ?
I have the same problem but only when -g is there and no -O2

All dependencies seem to be met:

However, there may be lots of outdated versions, as this is Squeeze. Squeeze is at least a year older than Ubuntu 11.10. It also does compile on Debian Wheezy, obviously, as there are pre-built packages on debian-multimedia. The latest pre-built for Squeeze on debian-multimedia is 2.5.4.

In fact, my first attempt was to do a backport build of the Debian source package, which led exactly to the same error. I then tried the source package using the manual compilation steps (cmake, make - no special options, release build) from the wiki. The full build log is attached, the error appears after 1630 lines.

However, up until that error, all seems to compile fine, its just that linking libADM_infoExtractor_cli.a fails to find ff_se_golomb_vlc_code, which is in

A solution to this was posted on the other thread.  As I can't recreate the issue, I can't test the fix, but holler if you need help.

We patch ffmpeg during the CMake process to make private APIs available to Avidemux.  "ff_se_golomb_vlc_code" is not one we've needed to expose in the past but you could try adding "ff_se_golomb_vlc_code" to the "libavcodec.v" file (in avidemux/ADM_libraries/ffmpeg/libavcodec) so it is exported.  Not sure why other platforms don't need this though.

I posted a patch for this over on this thread.  Please give it a test.

Sorry for the late response, missed it. The new libavcodec_libavcodec.v.patch file did the trick, now it compiles on debian/stable again. Thanks.
