Error during compiling Avidemux

[dacorsa]

Hi Guys,
i have this error during compiling Avidemux with Ubuntu 24.04:

** Failed at make -j 32, result in /tmp/logbuildPluginsQt6 **
Cancelling installation.

see attached files for more info.

Is the header VSScript.h really missing in /usr/include/vapoursynth? The build log suggests that your VapourSynth installation is broken.

seems all ok here but not compile...why?

Are you really building the latest git master? At line 1029, the part of c++ command line relevant to VapourSynth includes is enclosed in quotes which are not present in the build log on my system with the latest git master and probably break the build for you.

cd /app
git clone https://github.com/mean00/avidemux2.git
cd /app/avidemux2
sudo rm -rf *.deb
git reset --hard
git pull
git submodule update --init --recursive
git checkout master
bash createDebFromSourceUbuntu.bash --deps-only
bash bootStrap.bash --with-system-libass


yes i did checkout master

[eumagga0x2a]

cd /app
git clone https://github.com/mean00/avidemux2.git
cd /app/avidemux2
sudo rm -rf *.deb
git reset --hard
git pull
git submodule update --init --recursive
git pull --recurse
git checkout master
sudo make uninstall
sudo make clean
export ENABLE_QT6=1
bash bootStrap.bash
bash createDebFromSourceUbuntu.bash

As you use a custom Qt6 installation and VapourSynth which is AFAIK not officially packaged for Ubuntu, you probably don't want to invoke createDebFromSourceUbuntu.bash as you already have necessary dependencies. Additionally, most commands above make no sense. The normal procedure would have been (after entering a local, user-owned directory)

Code Select Expand

git clone --recursive https://github.com/mean00/avidemux2.git && mkdir build && cd build && bash ../avidemux2/bootStrap.bash --deb
("--deb" only if you want to generate Debian packages for a later system-wide installation). Performing an out-of-tree compilation avoids cluttering the source tree with build products.

yes i did checkout master

Please provide also the corresponding logCmakebuildPluginsQt6 file.

[eumagga0x2a]

bash bootStrap.bash --with-system-libass

A poor try, --with-system-libass is no more on git master.

[dacorsa]

Please provide also the corresponding logCmakebuildPluginsQt6 file.

i used your command :
bash bootStrap.bash --deb
without bash createDebFromSourceUbuntu.bash --deps-only
but i received this:
** Failed at make -j 32, result in /tmp/logbuildQt6 **

Avidemux builds fine on Ubuntu 24.04.1.
Make sure to follow the instructions in the README.md.

Avidemux builds fine on Ubuntu 24.04.1.

Wasn't adding "-fPIC" to CXXFLAGS required to make it compile? (I may confuse it with an unrelated topic, can't check at the moment.)

lrelease: could not find a Qt installation of 'qt6'
It might be a problem related to using a custom Qt6 installation.

[eumagga0x2a]

I see, you need to export QTDIR environment variable set to the path of the folder within your custom Qt installation containing "bin" directory which in turn contains lrelease executable prior to running bootStrap.bash script. It may amount to executing

Code Select Expand

export QTDIR=/home/dacorsa/Qt/6.8.0
if lrelease exists as /home/dacorsa/Qt/6.8.0/bin/lrelease.

On Ubuntu 24.04.1 "-fPIC" flag was not required.
