Cannot Build

mysticalos · Post by **mysticalos** » Fri Mar 18, 2011 7:23 am

No matter what I do, missing files. I've done clean svn downloads with corner stone and terminal, tried building in xcode 3.2.6, 4.0, sdk 10.5 10.6 sdk with all the proper changes. running makefile script with "make Perian" but no matter what result is always same, missing files

ffmpeg/libavutil/common.h:38:32: error: libavutil/avconfig.h: No such file or directory

i've tried working around this by adding file and it then can get passed this but gets hung up on a few more missing files

looking at svn checkout externals, it's got properties to ignore these files yet they are required by project?

I've built perian for years i've never had problems until very recently. where can i easily get all the missing files? 99% of the videos i use perian for are videos that crash it (issue 555). I've gone through all the documentation but there are really no helpful resources on webpage, mailing list, readme files, or even 6 hours worth of googling that i could find. everything says it should just build fine with the make file script or in xcode.

There's a reason this file doesn't exist and it's clear that there is an error preceding this one. Look at the first error message and see what it says.

that is the first error message

That's still not the first error message. The first message is with building ffmpeg. You need to delete the build directory first.

i have delete build folder and cleaned all targets before every attempt

Chalk this up to Apple fscking up xcode:
It built ffmpeg with

setenv ARCHS "x86_64 i386"

The project has not been modified, yet it does this with the newer xcodes. Furthermore, attempting to change the architecture settings no longer yields an item that enables any ppc (which is what's failing to build). Apparently $(ARCHS_STANDARD_32_64_BIT) means only intel processors now.

Xcode 4 dropped PPC build support entirely.

this build is in xcode 3.2.6 which was released at same time as 4.x GM $:\$ and 10.5 sdk and 10.4 sdk were both installed as well. since i know xcode 4 doesn't have em.

woot i got it to build, i just checked "build active architecture only" in the perian info which i guess convinced it not to screw around with PPC, heh.

although hmm strange, it generated a 32 bit version, even the pref pane has to launch in 32 bit mode. intresting thing is current arch is 64 bit, i'm even using a 64 bit kernel boot. I'll have to mess with it more

bah it looks like ticket 555 only fixed the crash, not the actual playback issues, oh well, was worth a try anyways

Guess I may actually be stuck with a divx or xvid codec external to perian. god i hate both of em $:\$ Why do people even code stuff in such terrible formats still

QuickTime components are only 32-bit ATM. The pref-pane does build in 64-bit, but xcode has likely screwed that up too. The same is likely true of the audio components in Perian as well.

Then you'll have to deal with all the bugs they introduce. You'll be better off without them. During playback in the web browser, Perian is told to draw frames, but the drawn frames never make it to the browser itself, so it's not a Perian issue.

yeah it seems those videos are waiting for divx plugin to ask for the frames or something, they aren't even sent, only the audio track is. and i know how bad divx is, utter garbage.

The project will be updated for Xcode 4 compatibility soonish. I would expect the current one to work with 3.2.6, though.

mysticalos · Post by **mysticalos** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 5:47 am

it builds with 3.2.6 but only if you force it to build intel only and ignore ppc instructions. ppc is no longer included in 3.2.6

Huh, I forgot the compiler spec was broken in 3.2.6. Semi-fixed on trunk - the resulting build will work on G4 but not G3.
