Can't install Nvidia libraries and compilation problems

[PhilB]

Hello,

This is my first post.

I use Xubuntu 16.04.1 LTS X64 with a Nvidia GT740 and a Core I5. I follow the instructions given by Jan Gruuthuse here http://avidemux.org/smif/index.php/topic,16750.0.html.
The nvidia-cuda-toolkit takes ages to compile so I stopped it after an hour. I then got a message saying to type "dpkg --configure -a" but I also had to stop it with Crtl-C.
I also tried the "bash bootStrap.bash --deb" but this is also an endless process so I stop it despite it says the *.debs are in their directories.

My question is : can I use the *.deb packages provided in this forum without installing all the libraries ? Then "sudo dpkg -i *" ?
Or must I install all of them ? My current display is the free Xorg and not the Nvidia one.

Thanks for helping

Try the universal app: http://avidemux.org/smif/index.php/topic,17293.0.html

You don't need to build the nivida-cuda-toolkit. You only needed to copy as root the nvEncodeAPI.h!
Did you run this script createDebFromSourceUbuntu.bash? Need to set allow to run in properties?
From memory, don't have access to computer now.
You could try installing.deb.

I use Xubuntu 16.04.1 LTS X64 with a Nvidia GT740 and a Core I5. I follow the instructions given by Jan Gruuthuse here http://avidemux.org/smif/index.php/topic,16750.0.html.

As Jan mentioned, you get all the dependencies except of the NVENC header file if you execute the createDebFromSourceUbuntu.bash script (which also builds and installs the generated packages). You need neither NVIDIA drivers nor CUDA libraries. Building Avidemux for the first time (for subsequent builds, using the --rebuild option reduces the compilation time enormously) takes about 15 minutes on my 5 years old entry level AMD dual-core. How long is "endless" for you? It should not take longer than ~10 minutes on a core i5.

By the way, interrupting dpkg is a terrible idea.

[PhilB]

I have followed this advice.
Copy nvEncodeAPI.h into /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/
Run ./createDebFromSourceUbuntu.bash --no-install
I started at 20:30 and now it is 21:31

What I see from the log :
Core will be built
    Qt5 will be built
    Cli will be built
    Plugins will be built

First of all, I'd recommend to use the current git instead of the last release.

Probably nothing has been built, yet no idea why. What does the content of /tmp/logbuildCore say?

edit: You don't need to make createDebFromSourceUbuntu.bash executable. Just run

Code Select Expand

bash createDebFromSourceUbuntu.bash --no-install

("--no-install" if you don't what that the script attempts to install the packages) within the /home/jon/DEB_paquets/avidemux_2.6.18 directory.

[PhilB]

Thank you for your interest.

Here what I did :
Reboot the computer, delete the directory, create a new one /home/jon/avidemux2. extract the latest git inside it (the stable version would be fine too).
Command line :
bash bootStrap.bash --deb --with-core --with-cli --with-plugins.
After less than 5 minutes, I got the following message :
** ALL DONE **
** The installable packages are in the debs folder **

I now have 10 DEB files in this directory. Success ! 

[eumagga0x2a]

Good  I wonder if explicitly calling the interpreter (bash) made the difference.

Command line :
bash bootStrap.bash --deb --with-core --with-cli --with-plugins

There is no need to use any of the --with- options above because they are the default, just

Code Select Expand

bash bootStrap.bash --deb --rebuild

("--rebuild" will try to preserve existing build directories). If you install liba52-0.7.4-dev, libmp4v2-dev, libass-dev and libmad0-dev, you could shave a few MiB off the size of the Avidemux binaries adding the options --with-system-libass --with-system-liba52 --with-system-libmad --with-system-libmp4v2 to the bootStrap.bash command line.

[PhilB]

No luck... 
It built well one time and now I get again the same problem : building the debs stops.

-- Build files have been written to: /home/jon/DEB_paquets/avidemux_2.6.18/buildCore

[eumagga0x2a]

Why did you try to build again? Why were you trying to build the release? What was the exact command you executed? What did the log file /tmp/logbuildCore of the failed attempt contain? Unless you're just looking for sympathy, please provide some information.

[PhilB]

Why did you try to build again?
Because I wanted to test the parameters you gave (libass... etc).

Why were you trying to build the release?
Because I deleted and unpacked avidemux2-master.zip in the same folder so all my DEBs were deleted.

What was the exact command you executed?
bash bootStrap.bash --deb --with-core --with-cli --with-plugins --with-system-libass --with-system-liba52 --with-system-libmad --with-system-libmp4v2

Some info : It says something about dummy ... CMakeFiles/libavutil_dummy
https://1fichier.com/?2d3an9v88e

Each time I must kill all the processes with the task manager.
Even with only the --deb option, I no longer can obtain my DEB files.

Because I deleted and unpacked avidemux2-master.zip in the same folder so all my DEBs were deleted.

The Murphy's law works. Why not using git to clone the repository?

What was the exact command you executed?

bash bootStrap.bash --deb --with-core --with-cli --with-plugins --with-system-libass --with-system-liba52 --with-system-libmad --with-system-libmp4v2

This is not related to the build failure, but you don't need any of --with-{core,cli,plugins} because they are the default anyway, so the command should be

Thank you, so it is ffmpeg which sometimes doesn't build correctly. If the error is not always exactly the same, this is a clear indication of a hardware problem like defective RAM.

I'd recommend for aesthetic reasons to run the clone command in a subdirectory, not directly in $HOME. Use then the bootStrap.bash options suggested in earlier replies to use system libraries whenever possible. Additionally, the option --rebuild will reuse already built, unchanged products of the compilation, dramatically speeding up subsequent builds.

build again to create new avidemux

Keep the --rebuild option in mind.

Nevertheless, I suspect a hardware issue behind build failures.

[Jan Gruuthuse]

The git clone creates subdirectory in home: ~/avidemux2/

--rebuild is good for fast checking, not really needed on core i7. You see some difference. I don't use it.
