I compiled media-video/avifile-0.7.25.20030114 file, but when I run aviplay it complains that VIDEO cannot be displayed because avifile was compiled without SDL support. I added "sdl" to my USE flags and checked that libsdl is installed, version 1.2.5 has been installed. The previous version of aviplay worked fine. I see the following error during configure: checking for sdl-config... sdl-config setting SDL_CONFIG to /usr/bin/sdl-config checking for sdl-config... /usr/bin/sdl-config checking for SDL - version >= 1.0.0... no *** Could not run SDL test program, checking why... *** The test program compiled, but did not run. This usually means *** that the run-time linker is not finding SDL or finding the wrong *** version of SDL. If it is not finding SDL, you'll need to set your *** LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf to point *** to the installed location Also, make sure you have run ldconfig if that *** is required on your system *** *** If you have an old version installed, it is best to remove it, although *** you may also be able to get things to work by modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH configure: warning: Could not find SDL >= 1.0.0! c
remerge sdl and see what happens, please?
I remerged libsdl and then avifile, no difference.
ah I know -- attach the config.log from the avifile merge, please it'll be in /var/tmp/portage/avifile-0.7.25.20030114/work/avifile-0.7.25.20030114 probably

just as a note... 0.7.25 seems to be the most stable version currently. .26 and .27 have problems with avi video playing. also, all these current builds are still marked unstable for a reason. Many things are still being worked through upstream. :)
I have added avifile-0.7.27.20030122-r1 to portage. This includes a cvs updated from 2003/01/30 and this one actually compile and plays avi files! imagine that!... Please let me know if you have any problems with this version. Also please test the latest unstable win32 codecs as well if you are interested.
avifile can now find SDL, thanks! It appears to find the clip and play it OK. The audio is fine, but I'm having an unrelated issue with Xv. It only works shortly after a restart, after that the display is blank. I can use shared memory for the video mode and it works fine. This happens with xine as well. I'm not sure how to specifically test the win32codecs, but they were updated before avifile. Thanks.
good to hear... i will unmask this build if I can get a couple more verifications that things are good. :)
