Build HandBrake 1.0.1 on OpenSUSE Leap 42.1

[Budgie]

Please detail your question or problem in as much detail as possible:

My problem is that I cannot achieve successful HandBrake installation on openSUSE from the tarball.

Tell us about your environment. What version of HandBrake? What version of Linux / Unix are you running. etc.

The environment is openSUSE Leap 42.1 with a KDE Desktop. The tarball download is HandBrake-1.0.1.tar.bz2 from the HandBrake site.

If there was any exception or error displayed, please copy it and paste it here:

Configure identified a couple of dependencies which I installed. I was then able to compile or so I thought but I could not install. The terminal is no longer open so I do not have the output during my attempts but I do have logs config.info.txt:-

Clearly a few issues I need to sort out. It is a pity there is not an installation file in the tarball and what is the problem with the GIT repo site. Please could somebody give me some guidance here. What should I add/change to get this to run?

Please include the scan or encode log:

N/A

Hope somebody can help.

Code: Select all

find: autoconf...(fail) not found
find: automake...(fail) not found

find: libtool...(fail) not found
find: pkg-config...(pass) /usr/bin/pkg-config
find: xcodebuild...(fail) not found

The fails should be easy enough to fix via YAST. You can ignore the 'xcodebuild' and 'lipo' as these are Mac only.

Few things I found:

1. Don't use './configure --enable-local-autotools'. I just ended up with errors regarding the 'opus' package later on.
2. I periodically deleted the extracted directories/files and re-extracted them again before running ./configure and make. I'm pretty sure some of the compiling errored without me seeing it, so even though I was fixing subsequent package errors I already had issues with the files. There's probably an easy way of doing this (I thought make clean would do that? couldn't get that to work anyway), but starting from scratch each time seemed the cleanest way to me.
3. I had loads of package dependency errors later on, with various '....-devel' packages being needed. A bit of Googling of the file names, and searching in YAST sorted them out. From what I can remember, there was gcc, libass-devel, and lots more (maybe 30 or so?)

After about 3 hours of repeatedly installing packages, re-running the compile, deleting files and starting again I finally got a successful completion.

Pretty fed up though, all that effort and it still crashes when trying to open up certain DVD sources such as SW:ROTJ, or BFG.

EDIT: Just seen your other thread here where you managed to get it working -> viewtopic.php?f=13&t=35744. Congratulations! That does sound exactly like my experience with the various dependencies etc.I also had to install the dvdnav and bluray libraries.I managed to find the lame and x264 libraries so didn't have to hack any config files.I couldn't find any Linux build instructions anywhere in the directories I extracted though, so getting it all working was a good learning experience (if a little frustrating)
