Hello folks. |
| 2 |
i tried to compile avi-xmms to view my DivX´s under xmms (like i |
| 3 |
did so many times before under other Distributions) when i found |
| 4 |
out that avifile prior to 0.7 (which there is no ebuild yet) |
| 5 |
has been disabled in packages.mask |
| 6 |
and thus makes of course avi-xmms broken (thus disabled, too) |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
of course i didnt accept this since it worked before for me >;>> |
| 9 |
after enabling those 2 packages in the |
| 10 |
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask again, i tried to emerge avifile, what |
| 11 |
FAILED to compile doe to an "redifinition of struct option" in one of the |
| 12 |
files |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
traceback of this (well known from other packages) |
| 15 |
(tetex has an similar error depending on your USE flags) |
| 16 |
this error leeds back this time to ./samples/qtvidcap/parsecl.h |
| 17 |
and .../parsecl.cpp |
| 18 |
(during emerge compilation normally in |
| 19 |
/var/tmp/portage/avifile-0.53.5-r1/work/avifile-0.53.5/samples/qtvidcap/.) |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
so all we had to do is to patch all "option" variable type identifiers |
| 22 |
we find in this 2 files exchange to "parsecl_option". |
| 23 |
(but dont do all "option" strings. option is a common name, which is also |
| 24 |
used in a variable name named "options" which is not to change, as well as |
| 25 |
some strings) |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
i dont have a patch file,(and didn´t have mood to do one) so i just added a |
| 28 |
"bash" command after the |
| 29 |
untar command into the ebuild script and did this all by hand before typing |
| 30 |
"exit". |
| 31 |
feel free to write a patch and distribute it with the next ebuild >;>>> |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
this WORKED -> avifile installed |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
NEXT thing: avi-xmms-1.2.2-r2.ebuild. |
| 36 |
the dependencies string seems to be messed up in the ebuild |
| 37 |
so you just have to install xmms and avifile 1st <g> |
| 38 |
i emerged the xmms (no problems), smpeg-xmms |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
HEY!! smpeg-xmms NEEDS GLU but dependency not set!!! |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
(after emerging mesa-glu (the newest version is marked incompatible) |
| 43 |
this worked, too), |
| 44 |
and divx4linux-20010824 |
| 45 |
(seems to have worked, even if it still tryed to install stuff into /opt/kde) |
| 46 |
!!! |
| 47 |
now emerge avi-xmms-1.2.2-r2.ebuild -- and YES it WORKED |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
and u know what? DivX watching with xmms is working again!!!! |
| 52 |
(tested with a DivX encoded movie ) |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
any questions left?? |
