There are a few changes in glibc-2.10 that might make your software fail to build with it, please refer to my blog post [1] if you're not sure what the problem is. And no I don't usually provide emerge --info with these bugs because they are caused by glibc-2.10! Thanks, Diego [1] http://blog.flameeyes.eu/2009/05/24/c-libraries-galore
Created attachment 194834 [details] Build log
mpeg4ip is obsolete. libmp4v2 got new upstream and it's shipping a set of utils too. adding treecleaners; this can be removed since nothing is using it, it doesn't compile and it has a replacement.

I need the mp4creator utility from mpeg4ip. Comment #2 says that libmp4v2 ships with utilities. I installed that and found no utilities...

Yeah it looks like that though I only need the cli version to prepare mp4 files generated by ffmpeg for streaming. This is used in a video portal website project I am currently running in production - a rails application running rvideo gem to background encode video streams. > Plus you need USE="utils" to get utilities.. The stable version does not have this. And the 1.9.0 version does not like my installed faac version. If you suggest an alternative to mpeg4ip which works just now I would appreciate it. I don't bother much about mpeg4ip - i just installed it for having the mp4creator utility.
The prob is that mpeg4ip has been abandoned by upstream long ago, but I'm not trying to jump any hoops to kill it.. We can leave it (yet again) in tree, if someone provides a patch so it even compiles. I suggest however you leave a Feature request ticket on the new mp4v2's project's googlecode page. Maybe they can add this application?
Alternatively I would like to provide an ebuild for mp4creator so I can probably/hopefully compile it even without gui (something which offended me in the mpeg4ip ebuild - it required gtk and pulled in parts of xorg) - so need no gui on a server. For so long please leave the mpeg4ip ebuild around.
(In reply to comment #8) > Alternatively I would like to provide an ebuild for mp4creator [...] Other alternative: From the libmp4v2 1.9.0 documentation I found there's a utility "mp4file --optimize" which probably has exactly the function I need. Sorry for the noise, I didn't find the google code page before (just some plain text page with older versions). So please make libmp4v2 stable before mpeg4ip removal.

No. Current mpeg4ip isn't stable, and I won't be removed at least for 30 days (or 60 days). The timeframe gives us plenty to time to get libmp4v2 into stable in next 30 days, I've just unmasked it from package.mask into ~arch.
Kai, if you can verify that the mp4creator in the sourceforge page does something useful for you, I can look into adding it.. I don't want to waste time on a application noone would need

I don't want to waste > time on a application noone would need If you can get libmp4v2-1.9.0 into shape to be compatible with portage's libfaac then I'd be happy to testdrive the mp4file utility provided by libmp4v2. I'm pretty sure it does what I need. (I used mp4creator's --optimize feature before although the tool could do a whole lot more other stuff, so total overkill anyway -- no need for mp4creator if mp4file does what I need)

I wish sometimes portage could be a bit more helpful/verbose on dependency resolution (kudos to the portage guys who made many improvments on that point during the last months). I can emerge that now. It looks like mp4file is doing what I need. However, I will apply it to my test data first to be sure. Can take a few days, I need to work on ffmpeg 0.5 compat and testing a little bit first and find a way to fix two-pass encoding in libx264 (the log file creation is not multitasking/multiprocess compatible).
Samuli, as far as I am concerned, the new libmp4v2 suite is a complete replacement of mp4creator. So no more need to bother about this mp4creator. :-)

gone; useless as gcc-4.4 is being unmasked
