Hello there:

I am installing ffmpeg on centos 5.
I just ran into that wall, but it just stunned me.
I then took it down.

In case you have not solve your problem, here is the solution to it.
I am assuming you have your ffmpeg packages at the follwing directory:

/usr/local/src/

Here is the solution:

Step1: cd /usr/local/include/ffmpeg

Check if you have the ffmpeg directory created under /usr/local/
include.
I did not have if myself, so I had to create it.
If you do not have it either, then create it and go to step 2.

Step 2:

cp -p /usr/local/src/ffmpeg/libavformat/avio.h /usr/local/include/
ffmpeg
cp -p /usr/local/src/ffmpeg/libavformat/avformat.h /usr/local/include/
ffmpeg
cp -p /usr/local/src/ffmpeg/libavcodec/avcodec.h /usr/local/include/
ffmpeg

Step 3: configure, make, and make install your ffmpeg package. Not
your ffmpeg-php package, that one you do after you do your ffmpeg.

I hope this helps.

I had already created the /usr/local/include/ffmpeg with the header
files copied over there previously.

But following your advice I did again make ffmpeg 1st this time and
then did ffmpeg-php with the similar error as before:

....................................................... (contd.)
/usr/local/include/ffmpeg/avformat.h:920: error: expected declaration
specifiers or '...' before 'offset_t'
/usr/local/src/ffmpeg-php-0.5.1/ffmpeg-php.c: In function
'zm_shutdown_ffmpeg':
/usr/local/src/ffmpeg-php-0.5.1/ffmpeg-php.c:114: warning:

'av_free_static' is deprecated (declared at /usr/local/include/ffmpeg/
avcodec.h:2905)
make: *** [ffmpeg-php.lo] Error 1

Maybe something silly is missing here ? something basic that we might
have looked over ? I'm currently out of ideas on how to get this
thing through.

But thanks for your help anyways. Lets just exercise our little grey
cells a little more over this. hehe :-)

Hello blast4past:

Where did you download your ffmpeg package from?

I downloaded through the following svn repository:

svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg

which is located at this url:

http://www.laatedaa.com/2008/01/20/how-to-ffmpeg-ffmpeg-php-mplayer-mencoder-flv2tool-lame-mp3-encoder-libogg-libvorbis-amr-on-a-linux-based-server/

Probably you did it the same way, but it just checking.
Also what linux distro and version are u using?

I am using centos 5.

I remember that a few weeks ago I installed mplayer and ffmpeg through
yum, but
it did not work. Just in case you did the same.

[blast4past]

I'm using Fedora Core 8 with all current updates applied. I checked my
source document which I used as a guide:

http://www.yourserverguide.com/2006/12/02/howto-install-video-hosting-requirements

svn repository is the same as I checked in the doc above. And I also
tried ffmpeg and mplayer through apt-get on ubuntu7.10 before but that
did not work(just like your case).

On FC8, I installed the following were chosen for installation during
the installation of OS itself:

Apache 2.2
PHP 5.xx
MySQL 5.xx
phpMyAdmin

Apart from the above all the other stuff was compiled from sources as
listed in the web document above, step-by-step.

Thanks man.

I just checked the source from where you are installing your ffmpeg
packages.
It displays it about the same way than the source I used with a few
differences.

I got Fedora 8 on my laptop.
I do not know what else to tell you at the moment, the next thing I
could think
about is installing ffmpeg on my fedora distro, that is the same as
yours, and
see if I can make it through or get stuck like you.
Then post the solution if I succeed. I think I can do that tomorrow.

What do you think?

Do you have any other suggestion(s)?

You can add the dries repo to your FC8 and install ffmpeg and all it's deps from rpm.

make sure to install ffmpeg-devel as well if you plan to build ffmpeg-php.

[wbens]

Hello blast4past:

Did you solve the ffmpeg problem?
Were you able to install fffmpeg?

Thanks.
--Willie

[blast4past]

Hey, no luck yet ! But I'm gonna get back on it today just in a
little while from now and work things out.

I was just wondering if we just get the rpms of all the stuff -- it
looks like it won't work ! we have to install from source, to get
everything to fit in with each other.

Thanks for your help :-)

-blast4past

[wbens]

Ok.

I am going to do the same and see if we both succeed.
I hope that at least one of us does, espcially you.
I have done this a few time on Centos 5 already, but never
on Fedora 8. However, I believe there would not be much difference.

I will follow these guidelines, with a few differences, to do my
ffmpeg-php
installation:

http://www.laatedaa.com/2008/01/20/how-to-ffmpeg-ffmpeg-php-mplayer-m...

I will post my results.

When do you need this installation by?

Thanks.
--Willie

[wbens]

I will do everything from source but apache, php, and mysql.
If I do anything else not from source, I will let you know.

Ok.
I will begin.
--Willie

[Todd Kirby]

i set up FC8 last week and the only thing that required installation from source was ffmpeg-php since there's no rpm for it in FC8 (I didn't really look very hard so there might be).

[wbens]

Hello Tood:

By any chance, do you have the step-by-step process of how
you did it?

If so, can you post it?

I know you mentioned about editing the repository with dries repo.

Thanks.
--Willie

[wbens]

Hello there blast4past:

Are you accessing the server remotely or is it local?
Not that it would matter, just out of curiosity.
Thanks.
--Willie

[wbens]

Sorry I mispelled your name Todd.

[Todd Kirby]

create the file

/etc/yum.repos.d/dries.repo

and add the following to it:

[dries]
name=Extra Fedora rpms dries - $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=
            http://ftp.belnet.be/packages/dries.ulyssis.org/fedora/fc$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.dries/
            ftp://ftp.belnet.be/packages/dries.ulyssis.org/fedora/fc$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.dries/
            ftp://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/freshrpms/dag/dries/fedora/fc$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.dries/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1

Then run:

yum install ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel

This will install ffmpeg and all the dependencies as well as the headers needed to build ffmpeg-php. If you haven't already installed it, you'll also need php-devel

yum install php-devel

Cheers,
-T-

[Todd Kirby]

Make sure to first delete any of your ffmpeg libs that got installed when you built from source or you'll have conflicts.

rm /usr/locallib/libav*
rm /usr/bin/libav*

[Todd Kirby]

oops, second line should be

rm /usr/lib/libav*

[wbens]

Thanks Todd.
I will give this a try before I do it my way.
I hope blast4past is around.
Thanks.
--Willie

[wbens]

Instead of deleting them, I just moved them to my home directories.
I do not think they would interfere from there.

lib]#mv libav* /home/wbens/

My directory rm /usr/locallib/ is empty.

[Todd Kirby]

sorry, another typo:

/usr/local/lib/

it might be empty but that's ok. As long as there's no libav* stuff in there to conflict.

-T-

[Todd Kirby]

It will work for CentOS as well. I've installed on just about every version of CentOS from RPM.

-T-

[Todd Kirby]

Ok, feel free to gChat me if you get stuck

It's possible that gmail mangled the code I sent you for your dries.repo file:

Paste in the code as shown in the second post on this page:

...but change 'enabled=0' to 'enabled=1'

Hello Todd:

I just made the change.
It gave me an error with enabled=0.
So far the yum update is running with no errors.
I still wonder where is blast4past. He was the one who got me into
this.
Not that I mind, but now this is a personal issue for me.
I could be doing my laundry now (at least that was my plan).

Thanks.

Hello Todd:

I did not have any luck with this method.
I wonder what is wrong.
This is what I got:

I will go home now, but tell what you thinkg.
I wil check it tomorrow.

I will also try doing it from source.
It migh just be more time consuming.

Thanks.

[Todd Kirby]

hmmm, not sure. It worked for me. Did it report that it was checking
the dries repo when you run the yum install command?

-T-

[wbens]

Yes Todd, it reported that it was checking the dries repo.
I will try a different method. If if worked for you, then it is
supposed
to work for me. Probably I did something wrong along the way.

Thanks.
--Willie

[Todd Kirby]

try setting

priority=1

on the dries repo and

priority=2

on the rest of the repos.


-T-

[wbens]

Hello Todd:

I added priority=1 and priority=2 where you told me, but I got the
same results.
However, I would like to ask you, if we are installing ffmpeg-php.
should not we
yum install ffmpeg-php as well besides ffmpeg and ffmpeg-devel?

Thanks Todd.

Hello Todd:

I added livna.repo and I think I was able to yum install ffmpeg and
ffmpeg-devel.

not familiar with livna. You can either import the key manually or turn off GPG key checking in your livna.repo file.
