Sudden ** Failed at make**

[MiStr]

Up until recently I was able to compile the source from the git repo using "bash bootStrap.bash --deb".

Now I get a "Failed to make".

I then checked out versions that I was able to compile earlier, but they now fail as well. Which means, the problem is at my end.

If there a build switch that produces a more detailed log file to narrow down the problem?
Or some "make clean" procedure I have overlooked?

you'll get the exact error in /tmp/logBuildPluginCommon

If you're building in Ubuntu?

Are you using Ubuntu's cmake package (cmake 2.8.7-0ubuntu4)?  It's borked.  You're better off building cmake yourself.

I switched for building to CMake Latest Release ( 2.8.8 ), have no idea if this could be related?

Thank you for the info.

I'm compiling on an AMD64 system under Ubuntu 11.04.

The log files showed that some labels were not found for libvpx... after removing the dev files for this library, the build finished correctly. I can live without vpx for the moment.

A more tragic loss is that the x264 encoding is gone.

Does this have something to do with this warning during the build?

libx264-dev is installed, so I get the message

As avidemux needs a newer version off x264, I compiled it from source using:

Code Select Expand


git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264
cd x264
./configure --enable-static --enable-shared
make
sudo checkinstall --pkgname=x264 --pkgversion="3:$(./version.sh | awk -F'[" ]' '/POINT/{print $4"+git"$5}')" --backup=no --deldoc=yes --fstrans=no --default


which installed:

libx264.a
libx264.so -> libx264.so.125
libx264.so.125

to /usr/local/lib

The original Ubuntu libx264 is still in /usr/lib

When starting avidemux3_qt4 i get this output:

Any hints there?

Don't think this cause a big problem, see these come along when building in 11.10 or 12.04 LTS

more important would be lines with error in it. Easely found by searching the log file for ***
If you have errors best to post this/these log files @ gist, provide a message describing problem and the link to that gist.
So the developers can have a look and know/figure out what is going on.


these is what I have under 11.10:

Yeah... why don't we all? 

The usual answers: "It's a pain in the *", "No time at the moment", "It did work yesterday"....

Ok.

The problem was: The old libx264-dev (106) library from the Ubuntu repo was still installed. It didn't get replaced when I compiled the newer x264 version (125) from source. I uninstalled it and now I get X264 AND the black bottom borders.

Thank you all for your help.

I wonder, is the build supposed to produce packages of different versions (r8001 and r8025):

or is this another misconfiguration at my end?

Thanks for your help.

You should rename the x264 files in /usr, or be really really sure the /usr/local one comes before in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or /etc/ld.so.conf
If you choose to rename, you need to rename /usr/include/x264* and /usr/lib/libx264*

[Jan Gruuthuse]

Yeah... why don't we all?

I did make the move, I'm good now for 5 years.

No it should not, if what mean (developer) tells you in previous post did not help with the 2 versions being build. Best would be delete ~/avidemux_2.6_branch_mean. And get the source completely new.

Ah sorry i didnt get you solved the problem.
