Hi, I'm wondering if anyone else noticed problems compiling ParaView from CVS while setting -DVTK_USE_FFMPEG_ENCODER:BOOL=ON and using static builds of http://www.vtk.org/files/support/ffmpeg_source.tar.gz since the commit with ID FWQft1X9tt8TgSXt that occurred between 2009/07/31 16:52:47 CEST and 16:53:52 CEST.
On both a openSuSE 11.1 (32 bit) and a Ubuntu 9.04 (64 bit) machine linking against static FFMPEG libraries fails with: > Linking CXX executable ../../../../../bin/QVTKCxxTests > ../../../../../bin/libvtkIO.so.pv3.7: undefined reference to > `avcodec_register_all' > ../../../../../bin/libvtkIO.so.pv3.7: undefined reference to > `avcodec_pix_fmt_to_codec_tag' > collect2: ld returned 1 exit status > make[2]: *** [bin/QVTKCxxTests] Error 1 > make[1]: *** [VTK/GUISupport/Qt/Testing/Cxx/CMakeFiles/QVTKCxxTests.dir/all] > Error 2 I obviously checked and my libavcodec.a does provide both symbols: > nm libavcodec.a | egrep "avcodec_pix_fmt_to_codec_tag|avcodec_register_all" > 00000000 T avcodec_register_all > 00000000 T avcodec_pix_fmt_to_codec_tag Linking against shared FFMPEG libraries works. But I prefer to link ParaView against static FFMPEG libraries because of the outdated FFMPEG version ParaView requires. Using shared libraries repeatedly raised problems with other software that requires a recent version of FFMPEG. Reverting the changes made with commitid FWQft1X9tt8TgSXt one by one resolves the issue. But being aware of the intention of this commit that's no solution, either. I used gcc 4.3.3 and 4.3.4, Qt 4.5.2, cmake 2.6-patch 4, GNU make 3.81 and binutils 2.19.1. Thanks for feedback.
