Known list of dependencies for 9.3?

[jeffcobb]

I am building HandBrake from source on a few different Nix platforms and while it is building nicely on some, libxvidcore is failing on others and I have not yet sorted out why. I have noted a few other new dependencies since 9.2 so I wondered if there were any known lists of 9.2-9.3 dependency changes...

Every single time someone has claimed libxvid is not building they have been wrong.

You are almost certainly not thoroughly reading the build log....which you have, inexplicably, not shared.

[jeffcobb]

Forgive me for not being clearer; I was not really looking for tech support, only advisory data; for example from 9.2->9.3 we also acquired a dependency on libbz2-dev; I was simply asking if there was a list of known external dependencies not satisfied by some stage of the Jam file execution. Since I provision a number of machines for HandBrake its handy to have a script to make sure all external tools and libraries are satisfied before building HandBrake itself.

Hope this clears things up.

...still waiting for a build log...

This is not a tech support request only a build dependency list request but if you want to see 9.3 failing to build thats not hard at all. Here is Debian Etch failing because it could not find a qualified assembler even though one is demonstrated to be there by the log:

Don't run configure by hand, make runs it automatically.

No, really. That's it. Just type 'make' and hit return.

You're supposed to be building with make, not jam.
If you were going to use jam--which you shouldn't--you'd run:
'./jam' on a Mac, or
'jam' on Linux or Windows

To make jam, boil fruit with sugar and an acid until pectins are released.

Leaving that aside though is there a list of dependencies that changed from 9.2 to 9.3? Thats what would be helpful.

Thanks!

Found no assembler

x264 requires yasm 0.7 or above, not yasm 0.6 or nasm

Everything you need to know is in the compile guide.

I thought I had already pointed you at our compile guide.
http://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/CompileGu ... KUIonLinux

All the dependencies are there. There's no list of changed dependencies since none of us has had a need for such a list.

[jeffcobb]

John, things are a little confusing here; please allow me to try to clear things up. First this has nothing at *all* to do with the GUI build which on my main development machine built without a hitch and I am having a ball with it.

My situation is this: I have 3 different machines here that I tend to run HandBrake on, a Debian Etch box, an Ubuntu 8.04 box and a bleeding-edge 8.10. The Etch box is basically just a scrap server, the 8.04 is a basic desktop and the 8.10 being my main dev box has just about every development library I can think of on it already for the other work I do. Last thing to note is all machines had HandBrake-0.9.2 installed via a provisioning script I have which assumes an APT-based box with no build tools at all pre-installed. The script installs the toolchain, jam and other things needed by HandBrake, then pulls the source and configures and builds that.

When I tried to build 0.9.3 with the same deps on the 8.10 box, the build failed because it needed libbz2-dev installed. Since 0.9.2 had built on this box within the past 2 weeks, this had to be a new dependency that 0.9.2 did not need. This is the kind of dependency I was referring to; now having added that to my script, at least on some machines it does a soup-to-nuts pull and build of handbrake for me. I made the leap that if there was one dependency there might be more, hence the question. I wasn't trying to get anyone to troubleshoot my install; thats my job or I will never learn anything.

But the GUI builds fine and I am not only using it to learn about some new HandBrake features but also learning the GtkBuilder stuff from the links you sent. Cheers.

Look at the bottom of the build log:nasm -v shows version 2.06.

[TedJ]

Um, that should be yasm 0.7+ not nasm, as has already been pointed out.

[jeffcobb]

My mistake; I went by this output:
Minimum version is yasm-0.6.1 or nasm-2.0

Will correct my install. Thank you for your patience.
