avifile-0.7.38.20030710 doesn't compile for me - see errors below. I suspect this might be a gcc-2. 95 bug (I haven't had time to upgrade my system to 1.4 yet). gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../include -DHAVE_AV_CONFIG_H -I./../libavcodec -I./.. -Wall -Wno-unused -I../../include -O2 -mcpu=i686 -march=i686 -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_GNU_SOURCE -pipe -c flvenc.c -fPIC -DPIC -o flvenc.lo /bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../include -DHAVE_AV_CONFIG_H -I./../libavcodec -I./.. -Wall -Wno-unused -I../../include -O2 -mcpu=i686 -march=i686 -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_GNU_SOURCE -pipe -c framehook.c flvenc.c: In function `flv_write_trailer': flvenc.c:232: parse error before `file_size' flvenc.c:234: `flags' undeclared (first use in this function) flvenc.c:234: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once flvenc.c:234: for each function it appears in.) flvenc.c:238: `file_size' undeclared (first use in this function) gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../include -DHAVE_AV_CONFIG_H -I./../libavcodec -I./.. -Wall -Wno-unused -I../../include -O2 -mcpu=i686 -march=i686 -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_GNU_SOURCE - pipe -c framehook.c -fPIC -DPIC -o framehook.lo make[2]: *** [flvenc.lo] Error 1 make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/avifile-0.7.38.20030710/work/avifile-0.7-0.7. 38/ffmpeg/libavformat' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/avifile-0.7.38.20030710/work/avifile-0.7-0.7. 38/ffmpeg' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 !!!

I've since had a look at the avifile website (http://avifile.sourceforge.net/) and it says that this snapshot (20030710) doesn't compile with gcc 2.95. It also says that a new version is due soon (but that was written over a month ago...)
Created attachment 17118 [details] Modified version of buggy file. - I don't actually know how to create a patch... Having become bored waiting for someone else to deal with this bug, I think I've fixed it myself. Having never tried to make a patch before I'm afraid I'm not actually sure how to make a proper patch. I'm also going to submit this to the authors. The file at fault was /var/tmp/portage/avifile-0.7.38.20030710/work/avifile-0.7-0.7.38/ffmpeg/libavformat/flv.enc for some reason the authour attempted to define a variable part way through a function. Which, AFAIK is not technically legal C. ---------------------------------------------------------- The following is a diff showing what I did. minimon libavformat # diff old flvenc.c 226a227,228 > int64_t file_size ; > int flags = 0; 232,233c234,235 < int64_t file_size = url_ftell(pb); < int flags = 0; --- > file_size = url_ftell(pb); > --------------------------------------------------
Having just poked around on the archives of their mailing list, a similar patch was submitted to them about a week ago, I'd guess that future snapshots should include the fix....
diff -Naur file1 file2 > patch
in cvs thx
