[CinCV] Build problem on Debian for PowerPC, due to pkg-config.
I have mentioned this problem on the mailing list already in 2006; on exactly the same machine running Debian for PowerPC, so it may ring a bell. Aaron Newcomb ran into the same error a while ago, but on a different platform I guess. When I try to build the latest Cinelerra (revision 1056) on a PowerPC Mac mini running Debian Lenny (testing), the configure script aborts with the error ./configure: line 23421: syntax error near unexpected token `MJPEG,' `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(MJPEG,mjpegtools,mjpegtools=yes,:)' This is the first line of pkg-config directives in the ./configure file. On my Core2Duo laptop running Debian Etch (stable) the build went fine. Comparing the two configure files (thanks SimAV) revealed that the one that worked didn't invoke pkg-config. So why have it when it's broken _and_ redundant? For your information: Both those builds were made in fresh chroots made with debootstrap, to have a clean build environment. -- Herman Robak ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
[CinCV] Slackware 12.1: no xcb bug
Hi all, Today Slackware 12.1 was announced. It do not have the xcb bug. It's an option for those who want to install an updated linux distro that runs cinelerra fine. bye, rafael diniz ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra

Now, that's a not quite enough information to be helpful to me, as I would rather fix this apparently modest problem than switch to Slackware. I'm glad you were lucky, but I'd like to know _why_, so others can be lucky, too. On their own distros, mind you. :-) Can you search in your configure file for the string PKG_CHECK_MODULES ? On my laptop configure doesn't contain such strings (I guess pkg-config isn't used, for some reason), only configure.in. And therefore I don't run into the error I get on the Mac mini. Maybe that was the case when you built Cinelerra on your G3, too? unfortunately, my G3 died...

Re: [CinCV] Build problem on Debian for PowerPC, due to pkg-config.
Hi Herman, I think that we, at Cinelerra CV project could start accepting computer donation for development. If I could do a ssh to a powerpc machine, I'd be very happy to help. bye, rafael diniz On Sat, 03 May 2008 16:50:02 +0200, Rafael Diniz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: last year I made packages for my G3 running slackintosh, and every thing worked fine.

Re: [CinCV] Scaling down WMV video?
This produces a WMV file of the correct screen resolution, but Xine has problems playing it (it plays the original correctly), claiming that the frame rate has dropped considerably. The Zen Vision W refuses to even start playing it. Am I doing something wrong with mencoder? i don't think you'll be able to play a .wmv produced by linux in your Zen Vision, try encode to mpg1 or mpeg4, but remember that lavc uses a default vbitrate=200.
