Help compiling HandBrake 0.9.3 on Debian Sid ?

lefty.crupps · 01-11-2011, 12:36 PM

Current HandBrake is 0.9.5 but doesn't do XviD encoding, so I want to compile 0.9.3 for Debian Sid.

I've added the Debian Multimedia repos for Lenny, which has 0.9.3:

Code:

deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ lenny main
deb-src http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ lenny main

I've got the build dependencies:

Code:

mkdir handbrake
cd handbrake/
apt-cache policy handbrake-gtk
handbrake-gtk:
  Installed: 0.9.4+svn20100902-0.0
  Candidate: 0.9.4+svn20100902-0.0
  Version table:
 *** 0.9.4+svn20100902-0.0 0
        991 http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ sid/main i386 Packages
        500 http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ testing/main i386 Packages
     0.9.3-0.1 0
        500 http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ lenny/main i386 Packages

sudo aptitude build-dep handbrake-gtk=0.9.3-0.1

But when I try to get and build the source it fails:

Code:

sudo apt-get -b source handbrake-gtk=0.9.3-0.1
...
...
echo cc -g -O2 -I/usr/include -I../contrib/include -D__LIBHB__ -DUSE_PTHREAD -DSYS_LINUX  -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -Wall -g -O3 -funroll-loops

Build command 'cd handbrake-0.9.3 && dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc' failed.

Can anyone tell me what I am missing or explain to me how to further troubleshoot this compile?

I'd suggest you try with something that handles dependencies better for you while keeping everything tidy, such as pbuilder. It is easier to spot anything you miss that way.

Wow, pbuilder looks far too complex for what I wanted. Might anyone else have suggestions for what I'd like to do?

Debian Sid, Handbrake 0.9.3.

May be the patch handbrake_0.9.3-0.1.diff.gz adds some flags or options
not being usable by the compilers ?
Or may be handbrake 0.9.3 prefers the older Lenny dependencies / libraries ?

Using "the other compiler" : 1) # export CC=gcc-4.3 CXX=g++-4.3
2) # apt-get -b source handbrake-gtk=0.9.3-0.1
... and it will just spit out some other errors.

However : tar xvf handbrake_0.9.3.orig.tar.gz && cd handbrake-0.9.3/
&& make && cd gtk/ && sh autogen.sh && make : No errors.
# make install : OK too.

But $ ghb : Not working. Please see the attached image.
