Bug 329655 – www-client/chromium-9999 build failure - 'struct AVFrame' has no member 'owner'

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mike Gilbert 2010-07-23 23:21:59 UTC]

Chromium build fails with following message:

media/filters/ffmpeg_video_allocator.cc: In member function ‘void media::FFmpegVideoAllocator::Stop(AVCodecContext*)’:
media/filters/ffmpeg_video_allocator.cc:40: error: ‘struct AVFrame’ has no member named ‘owner’
media/filters/ffmpeg_video_allocator.cc:41: error: ‘struct AVFrame’ has no member named ‘owner’
media/filters/ffmpeg_video_allocator.cc: In member function ‘void media::FFmpegVideoAllocator::DisplayDone(AVCodecContext*, scoped_refptr<media::VideoFrame>)’:
media/filters/ffmpeg_video_allocator.cc:55: error: ‘struct AVFrame’ has no member named ‘owner’
make: *** [out/Release/obj.target/media/media/filters/ffmpeg_video_allocator.o] Error 1

The file ffmpeg_video_allocator.cc was added in changeset 53418:
http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome?view=rev&revision=53418

The new code is referencing a struct member that only exists in Chromium's fork of ffmpeg (ffmpeg-mt). The relevant struct (AVFrame) is declared in libavcodec/avcodec.h.

I have tried building with both ffmpeg-0.6 and ffmpeg-9999 from portage; the error is the same.

Thanks for the early warning. I think I'll handle this when the next dev channel build is released.

Disable system ffmpeg

In case anyone is looking for a quick fix in the mean time, this patch will disable system ffmpeg usage and install the bundled library instead.

I think the upstream has fixed it. Can anyone confirm?

I can confirm that this is working for me again.  It looks like they removed the new file from the build scripts:
