I compile ffmpeg/x264/fdk-aac by use of a script I made earlier this year. I use it quite often on a variety of different machines but today it is not working. http://pastebin.com/TP6Rczur

You have conflicting versions of libx264 installed, fix that.

No, I don't. See my script, it has the latest git of x264 installed.

Please understand that this is not an issue with my script. I already told you that I've been using and maintaining this script over the last year without any issues as I recompile almost weekly. This week, it does not compile.

You have a link failure, which is likely because you fail at achieving what you were asked in the very first comment. Please understand that we won't debug your script.

I consider all of your replies to be highly snobbishly sarcastic. You only read what you want to read and nothing else. You apparently seem to think I don't know what I'm doing and that there are problems with my script, but that is not the case; I'm no fool like you. If you think there is a problem on my end then prove it -- you aren't able to.

We don't provide assistance for your script, whatever that thing is. We fix build failures related to ffmpeg. So it is your problem to provide evidence that the ffmpeg build is broken.

No, you get it backwards.

We don't care about your script, that's not our problem. Note that we are not claiming that your script is either wrong or correct. You need to prove that there is a problem with the ffmpeg build. We already gave directions about that, but you're ignoring them.

Talking about professionalism, calling people names, that's clearly a good way to get someone to assist you.

If you want me to help you please post all your questions and support requests on the ffmpeg-user mailing list. If you don't want to post there, you will have to find the problems in your script yourself.

You have not given any directions at all, and you still refuse to do so. The only thing you told me was that I have a differing x264 version when that is NOT the case. The script I showed you clearly shows that it ALWAYS downloads the latest git and compiles/installs it BEFORE it compiles and installs ffmpeg. It is NOT possible to have a differing version unless ffmpeg does not support the latest git of x264. Therefore, I have already proven that there is a problem with the ffmpeg build, but you refuse to accept it as a problem.

You have no right to talk about professionalism when you have displayed such a poor attitude. You are deserving of any insults you have been given.

Again, there are NO issues with my script or system. I run this script on 5 different machines weekly, and this week there is a build error. I have encoded over 300,000 minutes of video and audio over the last 2 years.

I am not so sure:
My comment:1 was asking for missing information, remember that your original report was simply make: * [libavcodec/x86/h264_qpel_10bit.o] Error 139 which is (unrelated to your later problem but) impossible to parse. My next comment:3 contained the (short) solution for your problem, one can of course argue if "wrong symlink" or "incomplete installation" or "header / library mismatch" is the same as "conflicting versions" but it should typically help.
Of course my remaining comments were sarcastic! (Me being a snob would depend on your definition.) Claiming "my script cannot be wrong the problem must be within FFmpeg" imo asks loudly for sarcastic comments;-)

Final linking seems not to be unable to find the x264, that's all we can tell from the information you provide. We can't reproduce such problem here (also, your script is not portable enough and doesn't isolate the problem).

libx264.so and libx264.so.140 are in the same directory as the rest of the ffmpeg libraries ( /usr/local/lib ). If it is looking in the same directory then it will find it. My script doesn't have to portable because it is Ubuntu-specific but that does not matter. There is no other information that I can provide other than what I have already provided.

comment:26 by Clément Bœsch, 10 years ago

Was your script ever really linking with the x264 in /usr/local/lib? It was likely linking to a system installed one, or maybe /usr/local/lib was in your ld configuration.

Anyway, you can try --extra-ldflags=-L/usr/local/lib.

Note for developers: we should probably depend on pkg-config for the x264 probing so the linker flags are automatically added. I don't know when x264 made available the .pc file though.

Would that still allow to link libx264 on a system without pkg-config?

What I meant was: If I build a libx264 library and move it (and the header) to a place of my choice, will I still be able to build FFmpeg using that libx264? If not, this sounds like a very bad idea.

That is true for a lot of libraries, and not only the ones using pkg-config. The correct way of building a library is to specify its final location in its configuraiton phase.

Note that editing a .pc file to set the correct path is easy, it is done with a simple text editor. Try editing libx11.so to change the path to the compose tables.

Really?

I would say yes, probably with --enable-libx264 --extra-cflags=-I/weirdplace/include --extra-ldflags="-L/weirdplace/lib -lx264", and "only" --extra-ldflags=-lx264 if it's in a standard place. Though, I'm not sure how check_pkg_config() behaves when pkg-config is not available. Maybe it aborts somewhere. If so, we could probably be more tolerant on that regard (by assuming the library is present).

By the way, x264 has a .pc since v40 (and we require >= 118).

I try very hard not to use pkg-config so I may be wrong but configure always prints funny warnings for me when I test on OS X.

You won't find anything like that. If you are searching for where I have x264 installed, it's /usr/local/lib. I've never installed x264 from Ubuntu repositories before; I always compile it myself because I use 10-bit. ldconfig detects libx264.so just fine.
