Igor,

I gave up the first time because needed to install many dependencies and also had many time consuming packages to update. Dependencies are now installed.

I am working on this ticket now. If there is no major problem with it that you have found, could I change to normal priority, accept and update it?

[Igor Živković]

Sure but check all the referencing packages for any potential breakages.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

Thanks.

Replying to izivkov:

Are vlc and mplayer sufficient?

[Igor Živković]

I don't think so. A lot of packages had to be patched to compile against FFmpeg-2.0.

MPlayer devs recommend using bundled FFmpeg instead of external one.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

Sorry, I think I will not be able to test everything, so, I will revert to low and to blfs :-(

But it builds, installs and works fine. Have not broken VLC.

I used a patch from Arch, and tested the instructions for the docs.The texi2html worked, so did doxygen. The texi2pdf and texi2dvi did not work. With the docs, directory build+installed grew from 114MB to 815M, and also a large difference in SBU to build with and without docs. With this version, docs are installed in /usr/share/doc/ffmpeg, so some instructions to create the versioned doc dir and copy the html must be removed and the version too, from the remaining ones, or you end up with two versions of the docs. I found three new switches (optional):

# --enable-ladspa http://www.ladspa.org/
# --enable-libssh openssh
# --enable-libzvbi http://zapping.sourceforge.net/ZVBI/

Fix coockies problem only appearing at runtime. Commited, upstream.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

You probably noticed, but just in case: it seems the patch can be replaced by a simple sed.

I have the SBU increase for the docs generation, but the machine is off, at the moment. Will post here, when it is turned on again.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

Increase in time for those docs as described above not so large (mamory betraied me): additional 0.6SBU

[Igor Živković]

I've checked xine-lib, libquicktime, opal, transcode, strigi, and gegl. They compile fine. Do you wish to update the book, Fernando?

[Fernando de Oliveira]

No, thanks, go ahead. Impressive, all these! You must have all your data. And some data about docs I have already reported here, can you add them, please?

[Fernando de Oliveira]

I mean: unless you prefer me to do it.

[Igor Živković]

I don't care about extra local documentation (except man pages) but you feel free to modify the instructions.

Fixed at revision 12129.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

Thanks, Igor.

I have not noticed that it was still open. Reopened to finish that small part left. Was doing two things for the bokk (failed in both) :-)
