Hi, I am running Debian Sarge and am trying to compile Xine-Lib-1-RC8. This is the error I get when I run the configure script.

checking if gcc supports "-fbranch-probabilities" flags... yes
checking for sane -Wpointer-arith... no
checking if gcc supports "-Wall" flags... yes
checking __attribute__ ((aligned ())) support... 64
checking if gcc supports "-mtune=i386" flags... no
checking if gcc supports "-mcpu=i386" flags... yes
checking if gcc supports "-mcpu=athlon" flags... yes
checking for sgmltools... no
checking for fig2dev... no
checking dependency style of ... none
configure: error: conditional "HAVE_XV" was never defined.
Usually this means the macro was only invoked conditionally.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

hi there

have u tried this as a "root"

regards

Just now I did again as root. It did the exact same thing. This baffles me, as normally it just names me a package name, I download the package, and all is good. I think I am going to try an older version of xine-lib that was released a couple of weeks before this version and see what happens. I'll post back and let you know.

Nope, xine-lib-1-rc7 had the same error, and this exact version built just fine on both Ubuntu and SUSE. Weird....

hey did u tried SUSE rpms
have a look at

rpm.pbone.net

regards

I'm on Debian Sarge right now. Is that a good idea? Do you think alien would work?

no u should not try that rpms on debian,, , since u mentioned that u have tried compiling in SUSE so u can try the rpms for SUSE

regards

Bump

xine-lib-rc8 is out
why not give it a try too

regards

That was the one I initially had problems with. I have tried rc7 and rc8. I tried rc7 because I knew it had compiled cleanly on SUSE and Ubuntu, so I figured the problem may lie with rc8, but it is something to do with Debian Sarge.

hi there
i checked out my ./configure here the last few lines

checking if gcc supports "-mcpu=i386" flags... yes
checking if gcc supports "-mcpu=athlon" flags... yes
checking for sgmltools... no
checking for fig2dev... no
checking dependency style of ... none
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating doc/Makefile
config.status: creating doc/man/Makefile
config.status: creating doc/man/en/Mak


so u see i do not have that erro of "HAVE_XV"
and i checked out thge configre script also,
as it is stated in ur problem ,that the macro HAVE_XV was invoked conditionally
maybe thre is somethng wrong with ur configure script
downlaod again from xinehq.de
or if u like i will send u mine configure script

regards

Now that is the weirdest damn thing I have ever seen. I downloaded rc8 3 times from 3 different servers and had the problem. I had the same problem with rc7. I just redownloaded rc8 (like u said) and it worked!!! (While, I hope, the configure script has run and now I am compiling). Thx for suggesting that!

hey

this will surely add up to ur experience

regards
