BUG: ffmpeg svn fetch is using HEAD for parts of the software

[raimue@…]

ffmpeg is fetched using svn from 1svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk/ using a specific revision specified by svn.tag.

But in this directory in the repository is a svn:externals declaration:

  svn:externals : libswscale     svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk/libswscale

Therefore, libswscale is always fetched from HEAD of *another* repository. Building ffmpeg now always uses HEAD of libswscale which is not reliable. Also, building ffmpeg will result in different results although the version and revision of the port is the same.

As reported on IRC by dangrus, ffmpeg fails at the moment on destrooting due to some HEAD commit in libswscale:

: make -C libpostproc install-headers
make              -C libswscale  install-headers
Makefile:20: ../subdir.mak: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../subdir.mak'.  Stop.
make: *** [install-headers] Error 2

We can't rely on this and therefore we should export our own source tarballs for ffmpeg.

Same problem here :

$ sudo port -d install ffmpeg +gpl +lame +extvorbis +faac +faad +xvid +x264 +a52 
+avfilter +postproc
....
....
make -C libswscale  all
Makefile:24: ../subdir.mak: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../subdir.mak'.  Stop.
make: *** [lib] Error 2

I've successfully compiled it with ffmpeg rev 12276 and libswscale rev 26183 using dependencies build by macports :

svn export --ignore-externals svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk@12276 ffmpeg
cd ffmpeg
svn export svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk/libswscale@26183

ruby -i.bak -pe 'gsub(/defined\(ARCH_X86\) \&\& defined\(CONFIG_GPL\)/, "defined(ARCH_X86) && defined(CONFIG_GPL) && !defined(__APPLE__)")' libswscale/rgb2rgb.c

svn export svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk/libswscale@26183
./configure --enable-shared --disable-mmx --enable-pthreads --enable-liba52 --enable-libfaac --enable-libfaad --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libvorbis --enable-gpl --enable-pp --enable-libxvid --enable-libx264 --enable-swscaler --extra-cflags="-I/opt/local/include" --extra-ldflags="-L/opt/local/lib"

make

HTH.

I forgot to say that I'm on the latest macbook (core 2 duo).

I followed antonin's instructions, and managed to force macports to use the the correct export of libswscale

sudo port install ffmpeg

That will fail out. Then we do:

cd /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_ffmpeg
sudo rm -rf libswscale
sudo svn export svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk/libswscale@26183
sudo port install ffmpeg

I'm no expert, so this could be the dumbest idea ever...

[raimue@…]

I rewrote the fetch phase completely in r36295.

Please report back if it works now.

[faye@…]

This is how it seems to break now. It breaks when you use +avfilter. It could just be that we need a new patch for this version. I suspect the person who got the successful compile with those revisions wasn't using avfilter.

That's bad. I would be glad if somebody could update the patch or point me to a working revision combination of ffmpeg and libwscale.

[ryandesign@…]

The libswscale patch failure with the +avfilter variant was ​reported again on macports-users by Marcus Chou.

[ryandesign@…]

I tried to fix the +avfilter patch failure in r36394. Let me know if I succeeded or not.

Works fine again thanks!

Please run port clean --all ffmpeg and then try again. This will also delete the exported directory and then re-fetch it. If the issue still occurs, the output of port clean --all ffmpeg && port -d extract ffmpeg will be more helpful.

I noticed that after I posted, I couldn't edit my own comment so I left it for you to analyze. My comment implies that the commands posted before do not work thats all.

[raimue@…]

So, this seem to work for everyone now, therefore I am closing this ticket. The standard install builds fine for me on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. If some variant is still failing, open a seperate ticket.
