Linux Mint behind proxy server - compiling

Post by itisljar »

Description of problem or question:
Greetings.
I am trying to compile Linux version of Handbrake. I've configured git to use our proxy server with authentication for downloading sources, but when starting the compile, some other tool tries to download some other sources needed into download folder and of course, fails. I've configured wget through .wgetrc and curl through .curlc ant tested them, they work, but they are not the tool for downloading these sources (ffmpeg, libdvd etc),
Which tool must I configure to accept proxy authentication so I can continue to compile handbrake? I've grepped through the sources but I can't find which tool initiates download.
I am somewhat OK with linux and know how to troubleshoot, but my programming skills stopped with BASIC and a little of early Pascal :)

Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
Get behind corporate proxy and try to configure from source.

HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
Latest, 1.3.3

Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):
Linux Mint 20.1

To answer to myself - don't forget to add proxy variables to your profile file, ".bash_profile". It will make your life easier :)
export http_proxy=username:password@proxyhost.com:8080
export https_proxy=username:password@proxyhost.com:8081
exprot no_proxy=localhost, 127.0.0.1, *.my.lan
