Bug 272762 – media-video/transcode-1.1.2 and media-video/transcode-1.1.2-r1 fail to merge due to problems with finding ffmpeg/avformat.h and libavformat, and having similar problem with avcodec

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Some stupid real name 2009-06-05 12:23:51 UTC]

During emerge of transcode, the configure script dies due to inability to find ffmpeg/avformat.h and thus being unable to link to libavformat, and it seems that it has similar trouble with avcodec as well.

Trying to re-emerge transcode-1.1.2 fails too, even though previously it worked fine, i.e. that is the existing version of transcode on the system. The only new USE flag added was USE="imagemagick".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge transcode

Actual Results:  
Configure fails.

Expected Results:  
Clean compilation.

Does the problem vanish when you recompile media-video/ffmpeg?

If not, please attach the config.log file of the failed emerge to this bug and post the output of

  emerge -qpv ffmpeg transcode

The issue didn't vanish even though ffmpeg was recompiled multiple times. Actually, there is no directory /usr/include/ffmpeg/, and making one + filling it doesn't solve the issue.

[Comment 5 Rafał Mużyło 2009-06-05 17:27:43 UTC]

@reporter: your diagnose is wrong.
Your real problem is that you've failed to run revdep-rebuild.
When transcode is running tests on ffmpeg libs,
they're failing, because of missing symbols from
media-libs/x264. The most probable cause is that the lib
got a major lib version bump and ffmpeg (and probably other
depending on it) was not rebuild afterwards.

[Comment 6 Rafał Mużyło 2009-06-05 17:35:49 UTC]

The most simple way to confirm that is
to look at ldd output for libavcodec.

[Comment 7 Some stupid real name 2009-06-06 20:39:16 UTC]

(In reply to comment #6)
revdep-rebuild actually helped. Turns out there are some more broken links. The issue though, is that I have never done anything weird to my portage and updated the tree with emerge --deep --newuse --update world, yet the problems arose. Thus, something is still "not quite right".

[Comment 8 Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) 2009-06-06 23:49:54 UTC]

No, this is normal behaviour when you update libraries which change their .so version. You should run revdep-rebuild after updates anyway to check your system for broken libs/bins.

[Comment 9 Ian Abbott 2009-06-18 10:55:44 UTC]

It just means that sometimes you can't get through a whole emerge -DuN world without doing a revdep-rebuild in the middle. Unfortunate, but that's life I suppose!

[Comment 10 Some stupid real name 2009-06-18 20:31:01 UTC]

OK, I will try to run revdep-rebuild before posting a bug next time. Would it be possible to add some suggestions about revdep-rebuild to the quick installation handbook?
