installing xvidcap on suse linux with missing libs

hi,

im installing xvidcap 1.1.7 on suse linux 11 enterprise server and im facing missing packages.

Code:

checking if msgfmt accepts -c... yes

checking for gmsgfmt... /usr/bin/msgfmt

checking for xgettext... (cached) /usr/bin/xgettext

checking for catalogs to be installed...  de en it es

checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config

checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes

checking for PACKAGE... configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.4.0 libglade-2.0 glib-2.0 gthread-2.0) were not met:



No package 'gtk+-2.0' found

No package 'libglade-2.0' found

No package 'glib-2.0' found

No package 'gthread-2.0' found



Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you

installed software in a non-standard prefix.



Alternatively, you may set the environment variables PACKAGE_CFLAGS

and PACKAGE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.

See the pkg-config man page for more details.

i checked my software repo via yast and i have the following installed:
- gtk2 - Library for Creation of Graphical User Interfaces (version 2)
- glib2 - A Library with Convenient Functions Written in C
- libglade2 - Glade Library Compatible with the GNOME 2.x Desktop Platform
- libgthread-2_0-0 - A Library with Convenient Functions Written in C

what should i do? it says i should set my package_cflags and package_libs. but how should i do that?

Development packages ( -devel ) are required when you want to compile :

# zypper in libglade2-devel gtk2-devel glib2-devel

Note : The file xvidcap.spec, "BuildRequires" :
gtk2-devel libmp3lame-devel libglade2-devel perl-XML-Parser pkgconfig \
scrollkeeper update-desktop-files
ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/packman.i....7-5.2.src.rpm

.

hi knudfl,

where should i get these devel packages? i couldnt find it in suse linux iso. what is the normal practise? get it from external parties?

# 3 : No, none of the three packages are on the install DVD.
Usually you would type : 1) su <enter password>
2) zypper in <package> <package> <package>
... to get the packages installed.
But it won't work unless you have paid for the "SLE 11" support.

Please show the output from the commands :
a) uname -m
b) rpm -qa glib2
c) rpm -qa gtk2
d) rpm -qa libglade2

.

sorry i was away for a while. as request, the outputs from the commands are:
1) x86_64
2) glib2-2.22.5-0.2.23
3) gtk2-2.18.9-0.21.4
4) libglade2-2.6.4-1.2.267

# 5

OK, that's SLE 11 SP2 packages.

The 64bits '-devel' packages are on the SLE11SP2-SDK-x64-DVD1
http://demeter.uni-regensburg.de/SLE...1/suse/x86_64/

→ glib2-devel atk-devel cairo-devel pango-devel gtk2-devel libglade2-devel

.

hi knudfl, thank you so much. you have been so much help!!! i managed to install xvidcap dependencies successfully. anyhow, i ran ./configure make make install, but where is it installed to? i can't find xvidcap in application browser nor in /usr/local/share/omf/xvidcap. is it installed correctly?? how can i check?

# 7

The command : which xvidcap
.. will reply with /usr/local/bin/xvidcap

Starting the application is done with the command : xvidcap

And :
The launcher "/usr/local/share/applications/xvidcap.desktop"
can be copied to your Desktop.

( The Suse package from pacman, referred to in post #2,
creates a menu entry "xvidcap AudioVideo Recorder".)

.

hi knudfl, my installed dir is /usr/local/share/omf/xvidcap. there isnt a application dir in share. anyway the xvidcap dir is empty. strange!!! im not sure if it is installed correctly

i realise make install failed. i get install recursive error 1

can you post the error .
I am guessing it is a mismatch in the

glib2-2.22.5-0.2.23 AND glib2-devel-2.22.5-0.2.23
gtk2-2.18.9-0.21.4 AND gtk2-devel-2.18.9-0.21.4
libglade2-2.6.4-1.2.267 AND libglade2-devel-2.6.4-1.2.267

the libs and the source headers must match

please rerun this

Code:

su - 

 rpm -qa glib2*

------------

 rpm -qa gtk2*

-------

 rpm -qa libglade2*

the " * " is a wild card
on opensuse 12.1 i get for "rpm -qa gtk2* "

Code:

rpm -qa gtk2*

gtk2-tools-2.24.7-2.5.1.x86_64

gtk2-engines-2.20.2-7.1.2.x86_64

gtk2-engines-32bit-2.20.2-7.1.2.x86_64

some of those are dependencies for other programs
but
gtk2-tools-2.24.7-2.5.1.x86_64
gtk2-devel-2.24.7-2.5.1.x86_64
gtk2-data-2.24.7-2.5.1.noarch

All match

can you post the error you are getting
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xvidcap/?source=dlp
is from 2009 and uses ffmpeg ( the OLD single threaded version i am guessing )
and not the current multi threaded one

i would expect some ffmpeg error

on OpenSUSE 12.1-64 bit, using an older gcc ( gcc4.1 ) i get this make error

Code:

and it is a linker error

but ,xvidcap is in the "packman" repo ( suse 11.2 )
http://packman.inode.at/suse/11.2/Multimedia/x86_64/
--installing the repo file--
http://wiki.links2linux.de/packman:faq_en
and the repo file is here
http://packman.inode.at/suse/11.2/
and the muitimedia repo
http://packman.inode.at/suse/11.2/Mu...ultimedia.repo

Ref. # 14

Confirm : The "pacman xvidcap" works out of the box, SLES 11 SP2.
> > >
xvidcap-1.1.7-5.2.x86_64.rpm :
http://packman.inode.at/suse/11.2/Mu...5.2.x86_64.rpm

@nuttynibbles : Please do not try to build xvidcap yourself.
None of the available { 1.1.7 sources, src packages / patches }
seem to work with SLE 11.
( I tried with a couple of SRC.RPMS , and the Debian "src" : No luck.)

hi knudfl, i downloaded xvidcap rpm and tried to install. it gives an error:

rpm -i xvidcap-1.1.7-5.2.x86_64.rpm
warning: xvidcap-1.1.7-5.2.x86_64.rpm: Header V4 RSA/SHA1 signature: NOKEY, key ID 1abd1afb
error: Failed dependencies:
libmp3lame.so.0()(64bit) is needed by xvidcap-1.1.7-5.2.x86_64

so i installed libmp3lame from here. more of it can be found here.

so i installed and im getting segemtation fault. see below for more error:
