Configuration script for bulding ffmpeg 8.0.1

[Dave Yeo]

Interesting, that was the command that the FFmpeg developers said to use many years back. Time goes on.
If you remember, when I first used the command, it failed as upstream didn't support xttrs and you added a switch to disable xttrs. Looking at the dates, 16 years has gone by

Hi,
I couldn't get this to work.
If anyone has the opportunity to download this and post it somewhere by any means, I would be grateful.

Hi!
I found ffmpeg 8.0.1 on experimental depository which has a fallback to 4.2.2 issue, having to remove extra codec installed dlls first.

I'm currently updating my AVxCAT (bugs are resolved, adding NLS language file for easier use, EN and Fr files will be provided by default to allow easy other language customisation - only single byte chars support now - etc...).
I quick 8.0.1 test gives some errors due to changes into ffmpeg as it often happens. I'm updating my code for compatibility but not fully done. It seems to be faster !
As soon I could test most functions well working, I'll give a try to this build too.

Try the directions at

https://ffmpeg.org/fate.htmlIn particular

Code: [Select]

./configure --enable-somelib --samples=/path/to/fate-suite
make fate-rsync
Which should pull the fate-suite.
If needed I can upload it tonight, even 7z it is close to a GB and I don't have the best connection, probably hours to upload.

Dave, the command you were given worked fine at the time because the maximum native rsync protocol version was 30.

The chosen options are not going to break anything, but they are far less than optimal.  This is easy to test.

Trunk is now broken. One problem,

I can't see what the problem is, too many macros.

The problem with the static lib is that the response file is all one line instead of each argument having its own line. Not sure what to do about that

[Dave Yeo]

This fixes the response file, but depends on GNU sed, so would fail on *BSD including MacOS

Wonder how to do it with tr

Hi!

Now, I give a try to these builds and the first issue I have is the version number not been correctly issued using fmpeg -version
the 8.0.1 should reply >  ffmpeg version 8.0.1 and  8.1 should reply  ffmpeg version 8.1.0

But here is what is replied !
for 8.0.1 > ffmpeg version n8.0.1 
for 8.1.0 > ffmpeg version N-123885-g283faf55f8

Can it be changed to issue the correct ffmpeg version according previous version style ?.

thx

note:
I just updated my next AVxCAT 2.3.0 (expected to be GA soon) with added compatibility for ffmpeg 8.0.1 available on exp netlabs.

- for those interested to give it a try (a lot of updates, bug resolution, better responsiveness, rewritten code for cd covers (up to a max of 3 albums art proposed for selection if found), optimized color options + user color setting mode (for expert) as well other language support (EN, FR, DE currently done but user can code its own language file) etc... included a special prereqs tools which scans your system for required / optional tools generating a html result including missing tools with links and/or rpm command if rpm/yum installed... new path order using unix like model (A major update)

Currently, I'm updating the corresponding PDF file.
I can provide a special link if some are interested as new install package except the current pdf isn't fully updated yet
send me a private message or email if interested with (for those having AVxCAT installed, use the write to author option or the contact link from my web page.
