Script Error: Exception: (_tp_dict_get) KeyError: splitext

[Grim Reaper]

It won't make the MacOS .dmg install package. It can't find qmake or an executable file that uses it to do that. Is there a way to link to it so it will be found?

I have standalone Cmake.app installed, can the .dmg install package be made with that?

The bootstrap script aborts early because qmake from Qt is not in $PATH. This has nothing to do with linking. Have you installed qt@5 in Homebrew?

I have standalone Cmake.app installed, can the .dmg install package be made with that?

Never tried. Please use the one supplied by Homebrew.

[Grim Reaper]

Yes, QT@5 is installed.

I tried to build the installer again, it failed with this:

I ran this:

pkg-config --exists --print-errors libass

This is the result:

Admins-Mac-mini:avidemux2 admin1$ pkg-config --exists --print-errors libass
Package libass was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libass.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libass' found

How do I "add the directory containing `libass.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable"?

[eumagga0x2a]

You misread the error. The build fails because cmake (again) doesn't find pkg-config. What does

Code Select Expand

which pkg-config
report? Maybe you have another pkg-config executable somewhere higher in the $PATG which eclipses the one from Homebrew?

[eumagga0x2a]

I should have mentioned that the fact that cmake was searching for libass means that the Avidemux Qt GUI executable and libs had been built successfully.

This is the output of 'which pkg-config':

Admins-Mac-mini:~ admin1$ which pkg-config
/usr/local/bin/pkg-config
Admins-Mac-mini:~ admin1$

[eumagga0x2a]

What does

ls -l /usr/local/bin/pkg-config
report?

[eumagga0x2a]

I think I was wrong, my apologies. On macOS, when building Avidemux with external libass,libass is indeed marked as required package. Thus it may be really libass which pkg-config fails to find which in turn triggers build failure in common plugins.

[eumagga0x2a]

Additionally to the question about the target of pkg-config symlink in /usr/local/bin, please post the output of

brew ls -v libass
brew ls -v pkg-config
pkg-config --libs libass

I ran the Avidemux2.8.app from the Avidemux2 folder and the GUI opens and a file can be selected from 'Open' but nothing else works. I suppose that's because the files such as the modules, etc., aren't installed. I also saw that saving a project and selecting a project are not available in the 'File' list.

So far so good, please post the output of the other commands.

.pc files in Homebrew are by default symlinked into /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig where pkg-config expects them.

Yes, this is the reason as script engines (actually just tinyPy) and all demuxers are plugins.

Please re-read https://avidemux.org/smif/index.php/topic,19757.msg93161.html#msg93161 regarding requested info, but juding from your replies, I guess it doesn't make sense to continue this topic, at least tonight.
