VLC: No package 'libpostproc' found

[davidmenhur@…]

After desinstalling VLC, the reinstalation fails. The error is:

--->  Attempting to fetch VLC-2.0.2_0+mod+mpc+osd+qtkit+quartz.darwin_10.x86_64.tbz2 from http://packages.macports.org/VLC
[...]
--->  Configuring VLC
Error: org.macports.configure for port VLC returned: configure failure: command execution failed

The relevant part of the log appears to be:

:info:configure checking for POSTPROC... no
:info:configure configure: error: No package 'libpostproc' found. Pass --disable-postproc to ignore this error.

This persists after cleaning vlc and uninstalling dependencies, and with and without the flag +nonfree.

Running on OS X 10.6.8, with xcode:

xcodebuild -version
Xcode 3.2.6
Component versions: DevToolsCore-1809.0; DevToolsSupport-1806.0
BuildVersion: 10M2518

With this very same configuration, I was able to install it from scratch and run it smoothly.

$ port provides /opt/local/lib/libpostproc.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libpostproc.dylib is provided by: ffmpeg

ffmpeg is a dependency of VLC. Do you have libpostproc on your system? Can you attach config.log?

[nonstop.server@…]

Replying to jeremyhu@…:

After upgrading ffmpeg (#35475) file libpostproc.dylib in no longer provided by this port on my system.

% port provides /opt/local/lib/libpostproc.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libpostproc.dylib does not exist.

% port installed name ffmpeg
The following ports are currently installed:
  ffmpeg @0.7.13_1+mmx (active)

A find for the library in /opt/local doesn't return any hits either.
What config.log do you need attached exactly?

mplayer2 is also affected by this.

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

You probably need the +gpl2 variant of ffmpeg to get libpostproc

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

So... hrm...

I don't know if this should go in another ticket, but trying to rebuild ffmpeg with +gpl2, I get the error: {{ {---> Building ffmpeg symlink: /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/multimedia/ffmpeg/work -> /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_multimedia_ffmpeg/ffmpeg/work: permission denied Please see the log file for port ffmpeg for details:

/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_multimedia_ffmpeg/ffmpeg/main.log

}}}

Accidentally, I deleted the log file, so retrying to recover it, the installation was successful, and now VLC is installed and working. Thanks for the help!

I think postproc should be also installed under the +nonfree flag.

For your ffmpeg build issue, that looks like you are building with bad permissions. Try:

sudo port -v clean ffmpeg
sudo port -v install ffmpeg +gpl2
