Some render options missing in 0.61.08 on Ubuntu Hardy

Development Building synfig

dpkg: -S /usr/local/include/libavformat/avformat.h not found.

I did originally run the command as you specified.

I ran it again to check, below is a copy and paste from the terminal

phillean@ubuntu:~$ dpkg -S /usr/local/include/libavformat/avformat.h
dpkg: /usr/local/include/libavformat/avformat.h not found.

OK. So, I now I’m confused. Accoording to the “locate” command there is only one relevant pkg config file “/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libavformat.pc” (I assume that the locate command didn’t complain about de database being too old). And accoording to that pkg config file the output of “pkg-config --cflags libavformat” should be -I/usr/include/ffmpeg, but it isn’t (as seen from the command itself and the configure output). Could you do the following comand:

pkg-config --debug --cflags libavformat

The ouput is somewhat long, so you might need to do:

pkg-config --debug --cflags libavformat 2> pc.out

and attach the file pc.out to your posting. Hopefully that will shed some light onto why pkg-config gives the output it does.

here is the command and output

phillean@ubuntu:~$ pkg-config --debug --cflags libavformat 2> pc.out
-I/usr/local/include

I will send the long output for pkg-config --debug --cflags libavformat when I figure out how to attach a txt file

The output for pkg-config --debug --cflags libavformat is here

Well, apparently your locate database is out-of-date since accoording to the debug output of pkg-config there actually really is a file named “/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libavformat.pc”. Maybe you should run updatedb (as root) and try the locate command again?

Anyway, the question now becomes do you want to use your distribution based libavformat (/usr/include/ffmpeg/avformat.h) or your local copy (/usr/local/include/libavformat/avformat.h). I guess the answer to that revolves around what (source?) package you used to install that local copy. You could try to change the following line in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libavformat.pc:

Cflags: -I${includedir}

into:

Cflags: -I${includedir}/libavformat

And check that:

pkg-config --cflags libavformat

returns:

-I/usr/local/include/libavformat

And run the whole configuration and build cycle again. The other option is to remove (or move away) the file /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libavformat.pc, and see if the distribution based copy is used for the configuration and build cycle.

thanks Gerco,

that has moved me several steps ahead.

I did this but it did not fix it, however your next suggeestion worked.

Yes it returned -I/usr/local/include/libavformat

It now progresses further in the “make” stage and now halts at:

trgt_av.cpp: In member function ‘bool VideoEncoder::write_frame(AVFormatContext*, AVStream*, AVFrame*)’:
trgt_av.cpp:392: warning: ‘img_convert’ is deprecated (declared at /usr/local/include/libavcodec/avcodec.h:2536)
trgt_av.cpp:394: warning: ‘img_convert’ is deprecated (declared at /usr/local/include/libavcodec/avcodec.h:2536)
trgt_av.cpp: In member function ‘void Target_LibAVCodec::LibAVEncoder::CleanUp()’:
trgt_av.cpp:677: error: cannot convert ‘ByteIOContext**’ to ‘ByteIOContext*’ for argument ‘1’ to ‘int url_fclose(ByteIOContext*)’
make[4]: *** [libmod_libavcodec_la-trgt_av.lo] Error 1

I can build synfig without libavcodec so I have done that using. ./configure --without-libavcodec

Not sure what to do about the libmod_libavcodev error.

This build problem is fixed by pabs in revision 2030 in the Subversion repository (your libavcodec is relatively newer than your synfig). So, if you want to persue this you can do a checkout from the repository or wait for the new release 0.61.09.
