Anyone else having trouble with cmake for his ffmpeg build? Specifically ffmpeg 5.1.3 and building the game music emulator lib? I've never really used cmake before, but I think the problem lies in the version I'm using? Could someone confirm whether it's demanding I use an older/newer version of cmake for this?

A relevant extract from the CMakeLists.txt found in the build env for gme leads me to believe I need a version under 2.7:

Code:

# 2.6+ always assumes FATAL_ERROR, but 2.4 and below don't.
# Of course, 2.4 might work, in which case you're welcome to drop
# down the requirement, but I can't test that.
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6 FATAL_ERROR)

but then when I try running the cmake command in the build env itself, I get this warning:

Code:

CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:12 (cmake_minimum_required):
  Compatibility with CMake < 2.8.12 will be removed from a future version of
  CMake.

  Update the VERSION argument <min> value or use a ...<max> suffix to tell
  CMake that the project does not need compatibility with older versions.


CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:72 (if):
  if given arguments:

    "(" "VERSION_GREATER" "4.1" ")" "OR" "(" "VERSION_EQUAL" "4.1" ")"

  Unknown arguments specified

Which, in the larger context of its original stanza:

Code:

 # gcc <4.1 had poor support for symbol visibility
      if ((${_gcc_version} VERSION_GREATER "4.1") OR (${_gcc_version} VERSION_EQUAL "4.1"))
         set (CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -fvisibility=hidden")
         set (ENABLE_VISIBILITY ON)
         add_definitions (-DLIBGME_VISIBILITY)

         # GCC >= 4.2 also correctly supports making inline members have hidden
         # visibility by default.
         if ((${_gcc_version} VERSION_GREATER "4.2") OR (${_gcc_version} VERSION_EQUAL "4.2"))
            set (CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -fvisibility-inlines-hidden")
         endif()
      endif()
   endif() # test visibility

leads me to believe that versions greater than 2.6 should work.

I'm currently using cmake 3.21.4 and just updated and upgraded my system yesterday. I'm on 15.0 stable. Was this package built with slackware -current in mind maybe?

Alienbob has been kind enough to update his VLC package.

I agree with your marav, looks bit odd

What is more odd, is that the directories storing these packages has been updated, date-wise. But not their content...

Am sure packages will arrive soon

Am sure packages will arrive soon

The SlackBuild hasn't been updated either

Code:

SRCNAM=chromium
PRGNAM=${SRCNAM}${SRCEXT}     # chromium, chromium-dev, chromium-ungoogled, etc
VERSION=${VERSION:-118.0.5993.70}
UNGOOGLED=${UNGOOGLED:-118.0.5993.70-1}
BUILD=${BUILD:-1}
TAG=${TAG:-alien}

So, where does this changelog come from ?? :-)

Missed the "trigger" (he found the Enter key eventually

)

Anyway, he's fast

Many thanks to him

You might be happier with Bob's -restricted- version of vlc

Not an update as of yet, but an announcement that will excite quite a few, I guess:
