Probably because you include the dollar sign. Anyway,

brew ls -v libass
Error: No such keg: /usr/local/Cellar/libass

libass is not installed, so no wonder pkg-config doesn't find it.

brew install libass
should fix it.

I reinstalled libass, which did install, then I ran the Avidemux OSX installer build script and it failed as it did previously during 'Plugins Configuration Started' because it couldn't find libass. Attached is the 'Plugins Configuration Started' portion of the installer script run that failed.

I ran 'brew formulae' which lists libass as one of the packages included.

I ran 'brew search --desc libass'which returned:

Admins-Mac-mini:avidemux2 admin1$ brew search --desc libass

This command lists available formulas (formulae) no matter installed or not.

...which was equally pointless.

Please post the output of command

Sorry, I couldn't post the output of 'brew install libass && brew ls -v libass'into a reply, attached as a pdf:

Thanks, this explains the misery. The package gobject-introspection, needed by libass, fails to build thus making libass installation fail. The necessary upstream patch has not been backported onto gobject-introspection branch used by Homebrew. If you can do without a working filter to hardcode subtitles into video, pass --with-internal-libass option to bootStrapOsx_Catalina.bash to avoid libass dependency.

If you tried to post exactly the same content as you printed to PDF, you didn't strip the prompt so that its dollar sign may have triggered a false positive:

with prompt stripped.

I stripped out what you requested but it wouldn't post. I reduced the content down and it still wouldn't post. After stripping out more and more content and a number of repost attempts I wasn't allowed to post because I had made too many post attempts. Even after waiting a while I couldn't post. I had to logout and login to be able to post again.

I don't know why, after many, many, reinstallations of 'libass' which were supposedly successful it doesn't appear to be installed. Maybe it isn't installed in the correct place or the link/pointer/path to its location is incorrect. Is it possible to make the installer without 'libass' by eliminating it from the installer build script then manually add it in later?

Maybe someone else who is using Mojave and has the required installer build environment can try to build an installer for the most recent Avidemux version. If they have the same problem(s) then there is something wrong that isn't particular to my Avidemux installer build environment.

This is possible, unfortunately. CleanTalk, the external spam protection service, is a black box out of my control. If this forum accepts .zip as attachment, it would have been a better option compared to PDF to save the output as .txt and then zip it, however. Anyway, this is just a sideshow as the reason for problems has been identified now.

Do you actually read what a write you?

If someone backports the upstream gobject-introspection patch, then it will be possible to build libass in Homebrew on Mojave and the build Avidemux with a working subtitle hardcoding filter. For now, you can only

Quote from: eumagga0x2a on January 16, 2022, 02:49:54 PMpass --with-internal-libass option to bootStrapOsx_Catalina.bash to avoid libass dependency

How do I do this? 'pass --with-internal-libass option to bootStrapOsx_Catalina.bash to avoid libass dependency'

This is done by running the command

export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.14
cd ~/avidemux2 && bash bootStrapOsx_Catalina.bash --with-internal-libass

I ran the Avidemux2.8 build script using '--with-internal-libass' which did get past the missing 'libass' problem, but it failed to complete the build. I have attached an edited text file of the error output.

Liba52 is definitely available, ADM_liba52 Get Info:
‎⁨Macintosh HD⁩ ▸ ⁨Users⁩ ▸ ⁨admin1⁩ ▸ ⁨avidemux2⁩ ▸ ⁨avidemux_plugins⁩ ▸ ⁨ADM_audioDecoders⁩ ▸ ⁨ADM_ad_ac3⁩

What is the difference between internal and external? Why is one used in preference to the other?

It looks like neither a52dec nor mp4v2 are installed in Homebrew (or rather their installation failed and you continued regardless).

mp4v2 is not really needed (and it is deprecated in Avidemux), so you could just delete all lines of avidemux_plugins/ADM_muxers/CMakeLists.txt below line 9 without losing much.

Regarding a52dec, please post the output of

brew install a52dec && brew ls -v a52dec
If the installation of a52dec fails, you could try to pass the additional option --with-internal-liba52 to bootStrapOsx_Catalina.bash.

After 'Liba52' supposedly successfully installed, it can't be found:

pkg-config --exists --print-errors liba52
Package liba52 was not found in the pkg-config search path.

I installed libmp4v2 and ran the installer build script again and this is the output:
