Hello,
I am a bit confused from using options of flvmeta. It does not work on
my mac os x lion.
If I use flvmeta in normal way I get a message "Error: invalid FLV
tag". I have read that flvmeta has some options as --ignore etc. which
can help me but it does not work at all. I get a message "Error:
cannot open -i for reading".

Somebody would help me?

Tomas

Hi,

Regards,
Marc

Flvmeta 1.0.11 is a legacy version that does not support command line options.
I recommend you to install the latest flvmeta 1.1 development version, which is quite stable already.

Regards,
Marc

There is another problem with Lion. The latest version is not compiled for os x and Lion has a "wrong" compiler or something like that. See this:

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... ./install-sh -c -d
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk... no
checking for awk... awk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no
configure: error: in `/usr/local/flvmeta-r235':
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.

...do You know how to figure out?

Thomas, what you are doing is trying to compile it, but it seems you don't have a compiler installed (it doesn't come with the os by default). I suggest you install Xcode, from the appstore.

I found compiler within Xcode, it is the llvm-gcc-4.2. But still does not work:

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... ./install-sh -c -d
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk... no
checking for awk... awk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/usr/local/flvmeta-r235':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

any idea?

I compiled flvmeta on the machine with older system and now it works. Options are available.

Actually I did it, but the "new" Xcode 4.3.1 has llvm-gcc-4.2 compiler unsupported by flvmeta. When I defined the path of gcc compiler (within Xcode.app on Lion) terminal wrote:

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... ./install-sh -c -d
checking for gawk... no

configure: error: in `/usr/local/flvmeta':

What I did was to comiple flvmeta on older system and copy to Lion. Works fine but it is not clear!

Well, actually, the autotools build system (./configure, etc) is not the main build system anymore, because it makes maintaining cross-platform compatibility too much of a hassle.
Can you try building flvmeta using cmake ? There's a CMakeLists.txt file provided in the root directory of the project.

You need to install Cmake first.
Then the graphical cmake interface should be available on OSX, allowing you to generate an XCode project.
Then you can build flvmeta like a native project, llvm is probably probably in that configuration !

Good luck, please tell us how things work :)

...does not work.

The C compiler identification is unknown

Any idea? I am confused...
