Hi there,

today I tried to compile xbmc-pvr but it fails in configure section:

OS: Gentoo 64bit
XBMC version: xbmc-pvr 11.0_p57 (with Eden support)
ffmpeg: 0.9

Code:

Of course I need vdpau (Atom ION system). I didn't change anything in the configuration and at least xbmc-11.0_p56 worked without any complains (but probably with an older ffmpeg version).

Is that issue related to XBMC or to ffmpeg? What's the trick to resolve it?

I recommend to use internal ffmeg. I don't see any advantage in using a different version.

[musv]

Thx. I thought in using the internal version too. But there's no USE-Flag on the Gentoo-Ebuild to disable the usage of the external ffmpeg-lib.

Nevertheless I just had to downgrade ffmpeg to version 0.87. The it compiled fine.

[FernetMenta]

Does --disable-external-ffmpeg not work as an argument for configure?

Note that XBMC has patches to ffmpeg which you may not have on the external version.

you probably have to edit the ebuild. I don't know why gentoo prefers to use external ffmpeg.

Where do you get xbmc-pvr ebuild? I want to rebuild my htpc and migrate to gentoo.

@musv: don't edit the ebuild. use:

Code:

EXTRA_ECONF="--disable-external-ffmpeg" emerge xbmc

Rename xbmc-11.0_p50_pre.ebuild into xbmc-11.0_p57.ebuild

external vs. internal ffmpeg version: With the older version it works until now. Maybe I'll try it next time. Which special patches does XBMC use for ffmpeg?
