Bug 23795 – emerge avifile fails with media-libs/divx4linux-20030428

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description nicolaiee 2003-06-30 22:45:23 UTC]

After upgrading my system from media-libs/divx4linux-20020418-r2 to
media-libs/divx4linux-20030428 the following ebuilds failed during
compile:

- media-video/avifile-0.7.37.20030522 (ve_divx4 part)
- media-video/mplayer-0.90-r1 (libdivx4 part)

rebuilding the linker cache/env-update did not help; again downgrading 
to media-libs/divx4linux-20020418-r2 was the only way to solve the pro-
blem. It seems as if the divx-functions and constants used by these pa-
ckages could not be found - although the includes *seemed* alright.

System : Linux 2.4.20-gentoo-r5 
CFLAGS=   -mcpu=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe
CXXFLAGS= -mcpu=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe

sorry, this my first entry here in bugzilla...

thanks!

I'll add a "me too" to this. Saw it today.

I can confirm this as well.  Compile dies on ve_divx4.c, headers must not contain the structures it needs.

added mplayer-0.90-r2 with fix in cvs

I'll also add "me too!".

It looks like what avifile needs is to have divx4.cpp updated from version 1.86 to version 1.87 (from cvs).

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/avifile/avifile-0.6/plugins/libdivx4/divx4.cpp.diff?r1=1.87&r2=1.86&diff_format=u
