Bug 27187 – faad2 hopelessly outdated

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Derk-Jan Hartman 2003-08-23 13:26:07 UTC]

First of all faad2-1.1 is still masked in gentoo. Really no reason for that as far as i can c.
Secondly after faad2-1.2 now there's already faad2-2.0

Please upgrade faad2, since 1.1 still has some incompatibilities with certain aac audio 
streams. faad2-2.0 plays almost every aac file in the world.

Reproducible: Always

i can't see any 1.2 release

[Comment 3 Derk-Jan Hartman 2003-08-24 10:23:38 UTC]

oh, it wasn't ofiicially release i see, there was just a 1.2 API cvs release and now a 2.0 
API.   i think 1.2 got renamed.

I'm getting compile errors on this.  If someone has a good ebuild for this, please post it.  The 1.2 version you referred to seems to be faac and not faad2

[Comment 5 Reuben Nelson 2003-09-26 14:56:33 UTC]

The error is caused by "faad.h" being picked up from faad2 1.1 rather than
from faad2 2.0. The signature for these two functions changed between the
two versions. The libaac.c file should probably be patched to make sure it
point to the "faad.h" included in the tarball. I've gotten this to work manually
on my Solaris system, but I'm still inexperienced with .ebuilds.

[Comment 6 Roy Marples (RETIRED) 2003-10-02 03:19:31 UTC]

faad2 ignores the USE -xmms flag which I have set.

This is a problem as it tries to build against xmms and borks!

:(
