Do I have to build nasm 2.14 on  ubuntu or is there an alternate solution to be able to build dav1d?

Martin

just install nasm via apt

If it's 18.04 then you can't get it via apt. 18.04 only has an older version.  You have to download it from the focal ppa and install it with sudo dpkg -i nasm-blah.deb

I will try to be clearer. 18.04 doesn't include 2.14 as it was added in v19.   Should I download the 19.04 deb file or do I need to custom compile it?

Martin

You were perfectly clear the first time. Grab the .deb file from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/focal/i386/nasm/2.14.02-1 then install it with dpkg

Ok that's the 20.4 one, I am not sure how to tell if different versions have different dependencies.

Martin

It doesn't.  I had to install it the other day from that when dav1d got a version bump in master.

xml:
apt-cache policy nasm

nasm:

  Installed: 2.14.02-1

  Candidate: 2.14.02-1

  Version table:

 *** 2.14.02-1 100

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

     2.13.02-0.1 500

Although actually, on checking, the link I gave you was for i386 and you probably want amd64 the same as me.  Package name that I installed was nasm_2.14.02-1_amd64.deb  Debian download page -> https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/nasm/download

Yes thanks, once you said to try the deb I installed the correct package directly.  No problem with the build  after that.

the required build deps for 18.04 can be found in the kodi nightly ppa.
