avidemux's log with no detected x264 version

[Comment 3 Nebojsa Trpkovic 2009-09-30 13:43:36 UTC]

reverting to media-libs/x264-0.0.20090629 and recompiling avidemux solved the problem for me.

[Comment 4 Petr Zima 2009-09-30 14:43:31 UTC]

Indeed, the latest libx264 has changed api to version 75 (it provides x264_encoder_open_75 instead of x264_encoder_open) and avidemux-2.5.1 is not compatible with it. You need to either
(1) downgrade x264 and recompile avidemux,
(2) build avidemux by hand from svn, or
(3) wait for next release ;)

[Comment 5 Petr Zima 2009-09-30 14:50:03 UTC]

I guess the proper solution for gentoo is to make the avidemux ebuild (?all versions <=2.5.1) depend on <=media-libs/x264-0.0.20090629.

[Comment 6 Ben de Groot (RETIRED) 2009-09-30 15:01:45 UTC]

I've specified <media-libs/x264-0.0.200090908 in the avidemux ebuilds now. I'm planning to add a snapshot that works with newer x264.

[Comment 7 Petr Zima 2009-10-01 13:54:14 UTC]

The snapshot version works for me (~x86, x264-0.0.20090908, gcc-4.4.1,...), thanks for the ebuild.

[Comment 8 Ben de Groot (RETIRED) 2009-10-01 17:48:54 UTC]

The 2.5.1_p5359 snapshot should solve this till the next release. Closing.

Thanks and sorry for reopen all that's ok  but in order to completly close this bug it is necessary to add subversion as depedency in the ebuild  to avoid avidemux failed to configure !

avidemux-2.5.1_p5359 is fine for x264-0.0.20090908 but does not work with x264-0.0.20090923.

This is a different issue, and you should have opened a new bug for that. Please do so in the future.

Ideally we should not need subversion as build dep, but that probably needs some patching then.

That is bug #287850.

Reverting bug summary to description of original bug. The separate issue reported in comment #9 is a duplicate of bug #287241.
