[SOLVED] Handbrake (slackbuilds) not building even if all pre-requisites are met

lpallard · 04-12-2012, 04:40 PM

Hi there,

Handbrake fails to build (using the latest slackbuilds from slackbuilds.org). I have already installed all required packages (such as a52dec, faac, faad2, lame..) but it fails with:

Code:

...

So can anybody help? I also wonder why this slackbuilds needs its own packages when there are newer packages already installed on the system (example: lame which I already had 3.99 installed but HB comes with 3.98..)?

Thanks for clarifying in either cases!

So, just get my SlackBuild and/or get the package directly, at http://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/pe...lds/handbrake/ . It works.

I also noticed that there is a new release of Handbrake, 0.9.6 which I should try building.

Wierd, I have 0.9.5 installed on 13.37 64 bit and had no problems. By the looks of the the error you have, you are missing a package. A quick look finds gudev.h in /usr/include/gudev-1.0/gudev/ Maybe you don't have all the prereq's you need.

TobiSGD · 04-12-2012, 05:31 PM

According to slackpkg's file-search option is gudev.h part of the udev-package which should be installed on a normal Slackware system.

TommyC7 · 04-12-2012, 05:36 PM

It says you're missing gudev.h. Assuming you've attempted to build it correctly, it seems you're missing the "udev" package. If you do have it, check to make sure you're starting it on boot:

# grep -i udev /etc/rc.d/rc.M:

Code:

# udevd on systems that use udev:
    if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.udev ]; then
      /bin/sh /etc/rc.d/rc.udev start
# If we're using udev, make /dev/cdrom and any other optical drive symlinks
# if some udev rule hasn't made them already:
    if [ -x /lib/udev/rc.optical-symlinks -a -x /etc/rc.d/rc.udev ]; then
      /bin/sh /lib/udev/rc.optical-symlinks

# slackpkg file-search gudev.h

Code:

Looking for gudev.h in package list. Please wait... DONE

The list below shows the packages that contains "gudev\.h" file.

[ installed ] - udev-165-x86_64-2

You can search specific packages using "slackpkg search package".

Edit 1: Also, Alien Bob usually builds large packages like this for the Slackware community so we don't have to go searching for the dependencies. Especially for some packages the libraries are statically built which is also nice.

Edit 2: TobiSGD beat me.

lpallard · 04-12-2012, 07:17 PM

Good one for you guys.. I ended up being able to install it.. But it doesnt work!!

First of all, UDEV was of course installed.

bash-4.1# slackpkg file-search gudev.h

Then I realized this line in the output:

Quote:

checking for OldWebKitGtk... no

That made me wonder if webkitgtk was installed.. No it wasnt. I went ahead and compiled & installed it. Then I tried to start HB and got

Quote:

bash-4.1$ ghb
ghb: error while loading shared libraries: libgeoclue.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So I installed "geoclue-0.12-x86_64-2sl.txz" from pkgs.org (couldnt find such slackbuilds on SB.org) and I got further with this error:

Quote:

bash-4.1$ ghb
ghb: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.44: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Now I am clueless... I "swear to God", I successfully compiled and install ALL dependencies as listed on SB.org, and yet there are missing files... I *think* this SB needs a SEVERE cleanup...

XGizzmo · 04-12-2012, 09:36 PM

The only dependency listed for handbrake is webkit and it is a dependency for the GUI only.
Also mixing precompiled packages from god knows where is a sure way to cause problems.

Never said I didnt want to use the GUI

I agree but Ill remove it and go back one step.. not much further ahead..

In what package I can find "libicui18n"?? Maybe I can try to install this missing package..

Anything else I can try?

lpallard · 04-12-2012, 09:53 PM

This thread got me further ahead (I wasnt the only one!) : http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...dbrake-828420/

I followed the instructions as they appeared o make sense, so I created a symlink for each missing .so files... 3 total. Then I tried to start HB and got:

Quote:

ghb: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: UCNV_TO_U_CALLBACK_SUBSTITUTE_44

The thread above ends up with you XGizzmo saying "icu4c's latest update breaks binary compatibility. Anything linked to an older version will need a recompile."

Have you found a solution to this??

Thanks a lot!

I think you might have made a few mistakes:

1. As previously stated, webkit is ONLY needed for a gui.

2. You're using the wrong command to start it. This README file is from SlackBuilds.org as written by the maintainer:
http://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/1...ndBrake/README

It explains why your command is probably outputting those library errors. If the CLI version still doesn't work, then yes there may be something wrong with the SlackBuild and you can e-mail the maintainer.

3. You said you "swear to God" that you compiled and installed it. First off, I assume people who say "swear to God" that they're lying but that's besides the point. I believe you did compile and install it, but I DON'T believe you compiled handbrake with webkit. Again, refer to the README above.

4. Why did you compile and install "webkitgtk" when it asks for "webkit"?

5. Why are you mixing packages from a source that may or may not be reliable?

None of those are listed as dependencies.

I think he's talking about the Source Download links.

Hi guys,

To "TommyC7":

Quote:

webgtk is ONLY needed for a gui.

Exactly, and I want the GUI.

I am using "ghb" to start HB because it is the GUI startup command, as far as I know, but I may be wrong. On my HTPC, I've compiled and ran HB the very same way, but using older sources (that was about a year ago). It worked then. Required a lot of work, but it worked and Im still using it.

The README file from the maintainer is very clear and says:

Quote:

[...]

webkit is a dependency for the GUI only. Disable it with the following:
"GUI=no ./HandBrake.SlackBuild"

Lacking a GUI, the binary is HandBrakeCLI -- not HandBrake as you might
otherwise expect. To launch this application after installing, type in
"HandBrakeCLI" [...]"

To me, its clear that if I want to use ONLY the CLI version, I enter GUI=no before the ./SlackBuild command. Then, I understand to start HB in CLI mode I need to type "HandBrakeCLI". Simple enough.

The README file doesnt tell me where I went wrong. It doesnt tell me either that I went wrong trying to start the GUI version with ghb, nor that I shouldnt install webkit if I wanted to use the GUI.

Quote:

Thats your personal opinion & yes thats beside the point. Also note English is not my primary language and in French, "Swear to God" means in "all honesty and seriously". Anyways, in over 4 years here, I have never been told I was lying..

In regards to webkitgtk VS webkit, I simply was confused between them. The output of the first build attempt had a reference to webkitGTK and I thought it was the same package as int he README file.. I was wrong. Recompiling webkit from SB.org and installing it solved my problems.

To "XGizzmo":

Yes, I am talking about the downloads in the source files...

Actually, in recent handbrake versions, webkit is completely optional, gui or not. It was mostly used on the OSX port for doing in-place upgrades, or something.

To remove the dep:

--disable-gtk-update-checks

Alien Bob · 04-13-2012, 08:40 AM

You can check my SlackBuild and packages for HandBrake 0.9.6 here: http://connie.slackware.com/~alien/s...lds/handbrake/ - there is no external dependency and as abrouwers mentioned, you can avoid webkit-gtk easily (which I also do). My package includes both the GUI and the cli applications.
