Bug 4400 – gst-plugins ebuild fails

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Nathan R. Yergler 2002-07-01 16:50:31 UTC]

When executing 'emerge gst-plugins' the ebuild configures successfully but fails
during the make process.  The error reported is :

gstwindec.cc:216: no matching function for call to `avm::IVideoDecoder::DestFmt ()'

Is this a bug in gst-plugins or a dependency issue?
The entire make error is below:


../../config.h:146: warning: `HAVE_OSS' redefined

what gcc version are you using?

[Comment 2 Nathan R. Yergler 2002-07-02 06:42:44 UTC]

Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3/specs
gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)

[Comment 3 phoen][x 2002-07-03 00:25:49 UTC]

[Comment 4 Nathan R. Yergler 2002-07-03 07:22:08 UTC]

media-video/avifile-0.7.7.20020523

I just played around with gst-plugins too, what i found yout is that it chokes
onot only on avifile but also on libdv and jack, i unmerged these and
gst-plugins   compiled and installed without problems.

ooops, sorry for all the typos, i forgot that it also choked on mjpegtools

[Comment 7 phoen][x 2002-07-03 11:29:25 UTC]

I had to --disable-avifile and --disable-dv in order to make it work. This
release of gst-plugins seems to have some serious avifile problem, the newest
cvs gstreamer has an automake issue over here.

[Comment 8 phoen][x 2002-10-29 11:03:23 UTC]

Well, its been a long time. 

Does gst-plugins still fail, or does the new one (gst-plugins-0.4.1-r1) work?
