ffmpeg compile error

zdolar · 10-24-2023, 09:16 AM

Hi.

Slackware64-current fully updated today + nVidia Quadro P2000

Compiling ffmpeg from Slackware64-current repository.
As nVidia Quadro P2000 is installed, I explicitly disabled nVidia options in .configure.
All other options are the same as in ffmpeg.Slackbuild created by respected Patrick J. Volkerding.

As compilig fails, I deinstalled nVidia kernel, driver an cuda packages and reboot.

Last successful compilation was on september 28, all latter failed.

Compilation terminate with the following last lines:

I left /usr/local/cuda/bin in PATH regardless it's empty.

Icluded is config.log.xz.txt, please remove ".txt" extension and extract. Log file is longer then allowed by this forum.

The error does not seem related to cuda or any other library. Instead the error seems to indicate a failure when building html files for documentation.

regards Henrik

rizitis · 10-24-2023, 10:30 AM

Code:

--disable-htmlpages

If you try to build with this option is it building?

some other options you might want to check:

Code:

Documentation options:
  --disable-doc            do not build documentation
  --disable-htmlpages      do not build HTML documentation pages
  --disable-manpages       do not build man documentation pages
  --disable-podpages       do not build POD documentation pages
  --disable-txtpages       do not build text documentation pages

maybe texinfo?

Almost certainly. That's got a long track record of breakage.

Petri Kaukasoina · 10-24-2023, 02:31 PM

It seems set_from_init_file should be changed to texinfo_set_from_init_file, doesn't it?

EDIT: And then get_conf should be changed to texinfo_get_conf. And after that yet another different error message about t2h.pm...

Same for gentoo & ffmpeg 6

Code:

Glad to help you. But on the other hand its not "the solution" for this bug...

marav · 10-25-2023, 03:20 AM

Hi zdolar,

Not building documentation doesn't solve the issue of building documentation

Can you remove the "Solved" tag ?

zdolar · 10-25-2023, 05:11 AM

Sorry guys, you are right.

Solved tag removed.

rizitis · 10-25-2023, 10:12 AM

2 problems here, one is solved as Petri Kaukasoina said by set_from_init_file should be changed to texinfo_set_from_init_file && get_conf should be changed to texinfo_get_conf

Then we stuck in Function float_name_caption because it not exists in Texinfo::Common or Convert::...

Welcome to this amazing Perl/Texinfo world

rizitis · 10-25-2023, 05:09 PM

I think I have the solution for building ffmpeg-6.0 with stock texinfo in Slackware-current

Code:

cat $CWD/texinfo.patch | patch -p1 --verbose || exit 1

I finally builded it but if I close my eyes i see perl and texinfo Butterflies...

So plz test it...

ps:@marav, one fixed 2 broke, 2 fixed, 4 broke... it was nice in perl/texinfo_la-la-land but only for one time

build.log https://easyupload.io/b5tk3r
