Bug 98507 – gtranscode source needs patching before it will work in a normal gentoo environment

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description rob shelton 2005-07-09 15:09:56 UTC]

When you run gtranscode after emerge gtranscode, the import and export filter
boxes are empty. This is because gtranscode looks in the wrong location for the
improt and export filters (on AMD64).

The source code in interface.c of gtranscode looks in /usr/local/lib/transcode
for the import and export modules. On a normal gentoo install via portage,
transcode puts its modules in /usr/lib/transcode.

The source code at line 290 of interface.c needs changing from:

	glob("/usr/local/lib/transcode/import*.so",0,NULL,&globbuf);

to

	glob("/usr/lib/transcode/import*.so",0,NULL,&globbuf);


The source code at line 417 of interface.c needs changing from:

	glob("/usr/local/lib/transcode/export*.so",0,NULL,&globbuf);

to

	glob("/usr/lib/transcode/export*.so",0,NULL,&globbuf);


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge gtranscode
2.gtranscode
3.

Actual Results:  
You are left with empty import and export filter selector boxes.

Expected Results:  
The import and export filter boxes should contain the import and export filters
from /usr/lib/transcode

Well gtranscode is going to follow the way of the dodo...
