Hi, I was searching to upgrade mplayer with x264 enabled, but looks like it doesn't x264 properly. The media-libs/x264-0.0.20091021 ends in issuing a git command * ./version.sh: line 2: git: command not found but installs properly later on, while emerging whatever using x264 flag, the configure script says "########################################## ============ Checking for x264 ============ #include <inttypes.h> #include <x264.h> #if X264_BUILD < 78 #error We do not support old versions of x264. Get the latest from git. #endif int main(void) { x264_encoder_open((void*)0); return 0; } i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -Wundef -Wdisabled-optimization -Wno-pointer-sign -Wdeclaration-after-statement -std=gnu99 -O2 -march=native -fomit-frame-pointer -D__STDC_LIMIT_MACROS -fomit-frame-pointer -Ilibdvdread4 -I. -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/include/SDL -D_REENTRANT -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/include/freetype2 -Wl,-O1 -lncurses -lsmbclient -lpng -lz -ljpeg -lgif -lasound -ldl -lpthread -lfreetype -lz -lfontconfig -lz -lbz2 -llzo2 -lvorbis -logg -ltheora -logg -ldts -ldv -lxvidcore -lm -lXext -lX11 -lpthread -lXxf86vm -lGL -ldl -lSDL -lpthread -lpulse -o /var/tmp/portage/media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20091026-r1/temp/mplayer-conf-4400-2590 /var/tmp/portage/media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20091026-r1/temp/mplayer-conf-29803-2590.c -lx264 -lpthread /var/tmp/portage/media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20091026-r1/temp/mplayer-conf-29803-2590.c:4:2: error: #error We do not support old versions of x264. Get the latest from git." So IMHO a git/curl use flag should be added ? Or simply get the version by http/wget ? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Emerge media-libs/x264 2.Emerge whatever using x264 flag 3. Configure says "Checking for x264 ... no" Expected Results: "Checking for x264 ... yes"
(In reply to comment #0) > The media-libs/x264-0.0.20091021 ends in issuing a git command > > * ./version.sh: line 2: git: command not found this only changes the internal version... instead of getting: #define X264_POINTVER "0.78.1301 bcba15d" you get: #define X264_POINTVER "0.78.x" which is never exported and used only by x264.c... what you should check is which x264.h files is included instead. 20091021 *always* installs a x264.h containing "#define X264_BUILD 78"
