Question how to I handle ffmpeg recursive deps


I'm trying to compile ffmpeg from slackbuilds.org using sbopkg. In trying to install optional deps there are some recursive deps. to be precise
ffmpeg has optional dep of frei0r which has option dep of opencv which has optional dep of ffmpeg
ffmpeg also has optional dep vid.stab which has option dep transcode which requires ffmpeg
it also has optional dep mjpegtools which has optional dep libquicktime which has optional dep ffmpeg
in otherwords 3 recusrive deps on ffmpeg

how to I go about resolving them?
do I do a basic ffmpeg with only sdl2 and jack/jack2 then compile quicktime, transocode and opencv then recompile ffmpeg with all the deps, or is there some other preferred way of doing it. I am aiming for a pretty fully loaded ffmpeg

It would be nice if there was some formal instructions in the readme, but I'm sure many people have done it, and I thought I would try myself rather than just rely on eric's (alienbob's) pre-done package.

Haha what? You not overthinking? I think you should compile the optional dependencies for ffmpeg first.
you don't need them to link back to ffmpeg.

Most likely, you don't need to worry about the functionality of linking them back to ffmpeg (I did this exercise on my own a while back and determined it wasn't worth it). I'd probably echo the suggestion of marbangens to just worry about the deps of ffmpeg and don't worry about any of those deps who can optionally link to ffmpeg.

But if you really want to, you would just need to compile the offending programs multiple times. I'd probably compile all the deps for ffmpeg before building ffmpeg the first time. Then once ffmpeg is built and installed, you can start recompiling the packages that optionally depend on ffmpeg and work through the tree to recompile everything, ending with recompiling ffmpeg for a second time (possibly more depending on how the dependency trees are laid out, but I'm too lazy to figure out if you can do it all in one swoop).

I must admit it is a bad situation where (apart from compilers which obviously need an existing compiler to compile) there are recursive dependencies. transcode requires ffmpeg, it is not marked as optional.
my dependency tree is below.

Welcome to "circular dependencies".

If you really want to go through the hassle, you could first compile a minimal ffmpeg, then the packages that have circular dependencies, then recompile ffmpeg with the built circular dependencies.

But you should make build logs and read them for any optional dependencies that they might want that ffmpeg also uses and build them into ffmpeg before compiling the packages that depend on ffmpeg.


----------
Did I make it any easier or more complicated there?

transcode is a text-console utility for video stream processing.
Decoding and encoding is done by loading modules that are responsible for
feeding transcode with raw video/audio streams (import modules) and encoding
the frames (export modules). It supports elementary video and audio frame
transformations, including de-interlacing or fast resizing of video frames
and loading of external filters.

You really need that? Just compile them, and recompile those you're gonna use separate if you need them to link back to ffmpeg or vid.stab or whatever.

thanks folks, I'm trying the compile ffmpeg with no opts, then the recursive deps quicktime, mjpegyools, transcode, vid.stab, opencv and fie0r and then recompiling ffmpeg with (almost) all the options.
It seems to be behaving so far, although the transcode source was 404'ing so I found it elsewhere.
I won't get finished till tomorrow, and then until I get to audacity or vlc I won't know if it is behaving ok.
I'll mark this one solved.

You may want to recompile transcode after you're done just in case it only supports what ffmpeg was built with when transcode was compiled.

Aren't circular dependencies fun?

thanks.

i'll try that, thanks. in the mean time I have come across another problem. but i'll put that in a separate thread.
