currently running Slackware64 14.2 and with it lots of updates across the board, from the OS itself to packages by Alien and SBo. One of the programs I'm having difficulties with is spek, an analyzer for audio files, since it requires the older ffmpeg 2.8.7 while my system updated to 3.1.1. is there any way to get both ffmpeg packages (Alien's and SBo's) on the same system so I can build spek?
Since it requires the older version of ffmpeg you might have to remove the 3.1.1 version.
It may cause conflict having both version's of ffmpeg installed.

I'm slightly puzzled. Where does the Spek website say explicitly that Spek requires ffmpeg 2.8.7? Does it fail to build/run when having ffmpeg 3.1.1 installed?

yes, I use slackpkg+ after upgrading to 14.2 and one of the packages that was updated was ffmpeg to 3.1.1 via Alien's build... as for spek, I also have that from the SlackBuilds rep. I was hoping to not have to remove 3.1.1 and just somehow get spek to see 2.8.7 elsewhere.

spek doesn't specifically state a ffmpeg version, but the last version that was successful and listed on SlackBuilds is 2.8.7. unfortunately I tried running the build script with 3.1.1 and this is what I get

@Ztcoracat: Spek requires ffmpeg, this doesn't mean it necessarily needs 2.8.7. That slackbuilds uses 2.8.7 could well have been the result of something else not building with later versions of ffmpeg.

yes, unfortunately I was the one that posted that bug report... I'm not sure if the project is discontinued or if the author is away, so I was hoping someone would have an alternative in the interim.

Unless you have a need for v3.x of ffmpeg, I would just remove alien's version, throw ffmpeg in slackpkg's blacklist, and then use the SBo version. That is known to work with the version of spek on SBo.
yes, unfortunately I was the one that posted that bug report... I'm not sure if the project is discontinued or if the author is away, so I was hoping someone would have an alternative in the interim.
That explains things. I would go with the suggestions made by others.
btw) The error results from the following change in ffmpeg code-base: https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-...er/094920.html So it should be relatively easy to fix for upstream by replacing av_free_packet with av_packet_unref

btw) If you want to get it running with 3.1.1 it might be easier/better to use the master-branch directly instead of patching?
apparently this just doesn't want to work for me! I tried that patch, but still the same error so I figure the easier route would be what you mentioned, go with the master-branch. The problem now is that it requires wxPython > 3.0 so I grab the latest along with the SlackBuild script and...

any idea what's happening here? according to the SlackBuild page for wxPython, there are no dependencies.
