ffmpeg fails to compile gnutls x509.h error

commandlinegamer · 05-15-2017, 09:56 AM

I'm running 14.2 stable, 64-bit, no multilib, including the packages from the patches directory installed.

Installed the dependencies, then started the compile for ffmpeg, but with gnutls enabled it stops with several dozen errors, similar to this.

Code:

/usr/include/gnutls/x509.h:12:1: error: stray '\354' in program
/usr/include/gnutls/x509.h:12:1: error: stray '\210' in program
/usr/include/gnutls/x509.h:12:1: error: stray '\377' in program

I used the following script to run the compile:

Code:

ASS=yes \
BLURAY=yes \
BS2B=yes \
CELT=yes \
CHROMAPRINT=yes \
DC1394=yes \
DECKLINK=no \

I successfully compiled it by disabling gnutls but just wondered if anyone else had a similar problem?

My own situation is a little different as I run -current on multilib and use my own FFmpeg slackbuild script for the development version of FFmpeg.

Under these circumstances FFmpeg builds fine with --enable-gnutls specified...

Appears to have been a problem with the update for gnutls, because when I reinstalled it, I was able to compile ffmpeg successfully.

I found that out because I had similar issues yesterday trying to compile a couple of programs which required GTK2, and reinstalling that, solved that issue.
