SVN compilation problem

[ClemD]

http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Getting_Started

Thank you Jan, I'll read it right now and I'll see what I can do

It seems it is a different way of installing MinGW, using mingw-get-inst instead of downloading each specific package as in the Avidemux article.

If I'm right, I'd like not to mix two methods, because I fear my files would become a mess

The wiki article is unclear about something that is important, step Microsoft Windows/Build environment/Install build environment/MinGW. I quote :

Extract the contents of each MinGW tarball (binutils, gcc-core, gcc-g++, mingw-runtime, mingw-utils, w32api) to a folder on your hard-drive, e.g. C:\Dev\MinGW.

How should we organize the contents of each MinGW tarball inside the C:\Dev\MinGW ? Because later (step Microsoft Windows/Avidemux dependencies/Install dependencies/Expat) it talks about the MinGW bin folder, without even mentioning its existence, what it should include, etc, before !

I really don't mind, I'm not a windows user for personal life and I have understood that developing on windows (and not linux) is a bad bad thing

I'm glad.I remember its required by your internship, but unfortunately i cant help you.
Perhaps you can find something usefully here

I'm not sure... I really think the problem lies in the C:\Dev\MinGW file organization

It's ok

I've asked mean some help through PM, usually he's nice with me (I mean, mean isn't mean ).

About windows as a requirement, I might have an opportunity to install it, but it would only be if I'm really, really stuck on windows. So I'm doing my best to stay on windows, but if I fail (not yet ), I'll see if I can install Ubuntu.

Mean is always nice. Most chance to get replies is posting within this forum, mainly due to lack of time pm gets overlooked/disregarded ...
The wiki may be somewhat dated (2.5.4 mostly)
If no reply from mean stating otherwise: would try installing a working MinGW: these should have installed the exe files. bin may also be exe.
When MinGw is working then follow up with avidemux needed stuff. There should be some documentation within the avidemux source to crosscheck on needed packages.

Yes, I wasn't suggesting the opposite

Ok, I'll see

Hi there ! Hope you're getting well


It's been a couple of weeks since I posted last time, and few things happened since.


I managed to get a computer working on Linux, but unfortunately I couldn't choose the distribution, so I'm now on CentOS.

As there is no tutorial about compiling avidemux on CentOS (nearest is probably fedora), I got some help from IT to install dependencies.

But I still have problems, compilation process fails at about 93%.


Here is what the system says :


LD   libavutil/libADM5avutil.so.51
LD   libavcodec/libADM5avcodec.so.53
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lavutil
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
gmake[3]: *** [libavcodec/libADM5avcodec.so.53] Error 1



Indeed, there is no libADM5avcodec file into libavcodec directory. But there is a libavcodec.v file. Same thing with
libavutil.


I also get a problem after :

*** No rule to make target `avidemux/ADM_libraries/ffmpeg/libswscale/libADM5swscale.so.2', needed by `avidemux/ADM_coreImage/src/libADM_coreImage.so'.  Stop.
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
[ 93%] Building CXX object avidemux/ADM_coreImage/src/CMakeFiles/ADM_coreImage.dir/DIA_flyDialog.cpp.o
make[1]: *** [avidemux/ADM_coreImage/src/CMakeFiles/ADM_coreImage.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
*** fail make_main ***

Exactly same thing : no libADM5swscale file but a libswscale.v one.

Do I have to change the name of the files ? Is it that simple ?


Looking forward to hearing from you

All the best

PS : I attach the system answer to the whole process of compilation for those who want more information

It's something specific to centos/fedora
There is thread about that in the forum
(if you are lucky mit will swing by, he know these problems)

If you can, the easiest is to use debian or ubuntu. It's really painless.

Great ! =D

Well... 

I installed Ubuntu 3 weeks ago, but this is absolutely against company policy (you know, standard and all). So my boss asked me to remove it, and I must admit I epic failed. I don't know exactly what happened but grub could not reach files, so I couldn't boot neither Ubuntu nor Windows. The IT changed the computer (yeah, I know, it could have been saved but I guess IT was lazy ?). My coworkers are still laughing about it

That's why I think you'll understand why I won't try again, won't you ?

[mean]

you could run ubuntu inside virtualbox
Will be a bit slow, but that would not break company policy

Too slow... last year I had an internship in which my chief installed a virtualbox and ran ubuntu inside ; he had to install it an other way, it really was too slow.

Windows xp is so slow alone, I wouldn't imagine it running ubuntu

If I was alone, I guess I wouldn't have tried to uninstall Ubuntu, cause it was working fine until then

(except that I hadn't the Internet on it - proxy stuff and all)

Hey, welcome back! 

...if you are lucky mit will swing by...

If this can be called luck, probably you'r realy lacky, bacause after couple of test, i just serender and i've stoped Avidemux tests few days ago.But now i'm testing my new installed browser QupZilla (by the way i'm very glad) and i decided to  swing by.

... I couldn't choose the distribution, so I'm now on CentOS.

You no need to choose distribution.You already have the best one.  Otherwise when meant mentioned above, i've recommended Debian
I can tell what you need to compile successfully on CentOS if you want
P.S This had to be posted before your few posts, but whit my English this is not possible!

You can't imagine how much I'd like to go on into my internship, it's been weeks since I feel like I'm stuck.

In which language would you prefer to help me ?

O no, i meant i'm write slowly and lag with posts when have i realtime discussion 
As i see you trying to compile 2.5 version, so i i will tell you which dependencies is needed by this version. (bit later)

Oh, ok, alright then, don't worry

As i see you trying to compile 2.5 version, so i i will tell you which dependencies is needed by this version. (bit later)

Great =D

This is so nice ! I tried several forums and here is the only one where I found some help. Thank you all, sincerely =)
