Installation of MP4Box fails Unable to find MP4Box
 

Hello all.

I am trying to install MP4Box on a Centos 6.0 but so far I had no success. I followed all instructions twice. One here http://halotech.org/showthread.php?4...l-Fixes-Extras. And here http://abhionlinux.blogspot.com/2011...tallation.html. I did the sequences below;
Follow the steps given below to install MP4Box

#cd /usr/local/src/
# wget http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/proje...c-0.4.5.tar.gz
# wget http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/proje...s-0.4.5.tar.gz
# tar -zxvf gpac-0.4.5.tar.gz
# tar -zxvf gpac_extra_libs-0.4.5.tar.gz
# cd gpac_extra_libs
# cp -r * /usr/local/src/gpac/extra_lib
# cd gpac
# chmod 755 configure
# ./configure
# make lib
# make apps
# make install lib
# make install
# cp bin/gcc/libgpac.so /usr/lib

After ./configure command, I did make lib and that's where the installation fails. At the bottom output of the make lib command I gete the message below;

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lglut
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [libgpac.so] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gpac/src'
make: *** [lib] Error 2


I did make apps command. And at the bottom output of the make apps command I get the message below;

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgpac
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [MP4Box] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gpac/applications/mp4box'
make[1]: *** [apps] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gpac/applications'
make: *** [apps] Error 2


For make install lib command, this is what I get;

[root@centos gpac]#make install lib
install -d "/usr/local"
install -d "/usr/local/bin"
install -m 755 bin/gcc/MP4Box "/usr/local/bin"
install: cannot stat `bin/gcc/MP4Box': No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1
[root@centos gpac]#


And finally when I put make install command, I get the message below;

[root@centos gpac]# make install
install -d "/usr/local"
install -d "/usr/local/bin"
install -m 755 bin/gcc/MP4Box "/usr/local/bin"
install: cannot stat `bin/gcc/MP4Box': No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1
[root@centos gpac]#


Could anyone tell me what I am missing? I searched numerous websites but I have not found any clear answer except how to install MP4Box only and they all have the same method of how installing such application. Thank you all in advanced.

You need to find which devel package provides lglut and install it. i.e. on my Mandriva system I would install the ocaml-lablgl-devel package to get lglut.

Hello all,

I found the solution to this. All I had to do was to yum install freeglut*. Now it is okay.
