Hi

This is definitely related to my audio patch.
Not sure why it compiles with:
gcc (Gentoo 4.7.3-r1 p1.4, pie-0.5.5) 4.7.3
using gentoo-64 bit (i can append emerge --info if further information about my compile flags are needed)

Reverting both should solve the problem until figure out, what went wrong (or apply the revert patches attached)

:-\


/Edit
Accidently I first tested with Ubuntu 14.04, which works fine
Within 12.04.4 there is no regular cmake 2.8.11 -> which ppa are you using?
After a new test this seems to be related to the C99 standard i've used within the patch. I don't have found any Toolchain file, so far.
In addition I'm not sure if the gcc 4.6.3 is capable of it or only the flag is missing -> i will try to look it up tomorrow

cmake was build from source as cmake with distribution had issues in those days.
I'm rebuilding cmake 2.8.11 to current situation and try building avidemux again.

Rebuilding cmake 2.8.11 did not work. Gonna build 2.8.12.

Building Qt4 with cmake 2.8.12.2 produces the same errors.
Is there a point in upgrading gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3? Will avidemux builds work on stock 12.04 (1/2/3/4)? If not, there is no point doing this, as debs would not run on other systems?

The way it's done is a gcc-ism
But it should work with any version of gcc

gcc-4.6 build unsuccesfull succeeded
gcc-4.7 build succeeded and installs and is up and running
have now switchable gcc 4.6 or 4.7

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.7 g++-4.7

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.6 60 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.6
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.7 40 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.7
sudo update-alternatives --config gcc
last instruction let you choose between auto/1/2

source: http://askubuntu.com/questions/113291/how-do-i-install-gcc-4-7

I've reverted a part of it
Should be back as before now

OK. Will only build gcc-4.6 build on 12.04.4 LTS and upload.

better to stick to the "native" compiler

builds are now done with native compiler in ubuntu LTS (12.04/14.04) amd64
