[Bf-committers] FFmpeg update instructions
Hi, I've tried to write a short HOWTO about updating FFmpeg on linux platform to be able to compile Blender easily with new proxies stuff. Here's link to this doc: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Nazg-gul/FFmpegUpdate I'm almost sure additional changes are needed, but it should be useful already. Feel free to contact me about things i've forgot to mention there or if you're commiter feel free to update this page. -- With best regards, Sergey I.

Made slight update, first svn commands had both listed as 32bit, changed linux64 command comment to read 64bit. On Fri, Sep 2, 2011 at 9:29 AM, Sergey I.

Re: [Bf-committers] FFmpeg update instructions
Hi Sergey, Just some points I noticed: Where you write "To use this libraries create the lib/ folder near the folder which contains blender sources" and later BF_FFMPEG = "../lib/linux/ffmpeg" I know what you mean, but there may be others that just copy/paste that relative path but have not checked out the libs at the right place. Maybe it could be spelled out a bit more: "To use these libraries create the lib/ folder in the dir containing the blender source dir" or something like that, or maybe even BF_FFMPEG = "/path/to/cloned/lib/linux/ffmpeg" Another thing I've helped some users with, is when compiling ffmpeg be sure to have the libs in the library search path. This ensures you don't get a message like "missing libavformat.so.53" when trying to start blender. In your example: Create a .conf file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ (for example ffmpeg.conf) containing the line: /opt/ffmpeg-0.8.2/lib and then run (as root): ldconfig Last thing, you have ffmpeg-0.8.1 in places where it should say 0.8.2 Hope the above makes sense.

Re: [Bf-committers] FFmpeg update instructions
Hi Serguey, I added (the start of) a section about repositories featuring ffmpeg packages of the right version. For now, there’s just debian-multimedia.org, which has 0.8.2 for oldstable, stable, testing and unstable! But I’m sure there are other repos for other distros as well ;) Hope it’s OK with you… Cheers, Bastien. Le 02 Sep 2011 20:29:28 +0600, "Sergey I.

Re: [Bf-committers] FFmpeg update instructions
Hi, Yes, it's totally ok. Actually, it's what i wanted to add just you was first :) And i suppose there should be something the same for redhat-based distros like fedora or altlinux. But i'm not actually familiar with this distors so can't actually suggest anything for them.

Re: [Bf-committers] FFmpeg update instructions
Hi Sergey, it was my own turn to try out your guide. I downloaded your compiled libs but theoraenc and theoradec are missing, producing link errors if you use the suggested line in your guide: FFMPEG_LIBRARIES:STRING="avformat;avcodec;avutil;avdevice;swscale;dirac_encoder;mp3lame;ogg;orc-0.4;schroedinger-1.0;theora;theoraenc;theoradec;vorbis;vorbisenc;vpx;x264;xvidcore;faad;asound;jack" Removing them did the trick. If you do change anything, please notify so we can svn up and update. Also updated the main compiling troubleshooting guide (http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Doc/Building_Blender/Linux/Troubleshooting) to redirect to your page. ___ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
