the libbluray .pc file as amended

oh, cross-compiled under ubuntu as static for used on win10 x64, using a variation of rdp's build script.

I see this thread ​https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/patch/5540/ already seems to refer to this and related build errors, apparently newly arising from something like

"extralibs no longer being global after this merge".

libbluray's pkg-config file seems to currently be insufficient to resolve all its dependencies.

The issue has been reported there already. See ​https://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/libbluray-devel/2017-October/002855.html

[hydra3333]

Thank you. In the interim, it seems it (and related matters) can be addressed in part by an appropriate end-user configure, please refer here -

libbluray seems to have fixed it in ​http://git.videolan.org/?p=libbluray.git;a=commitdiff;h=bd887f4e9d8e81f2656fe0d0494bf20af852a23c

It should be available in their next release.

It seems to still fail but with a different error now:

patching file configure.ac
Hunk #1 FAILED at 27.

[James]

I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but the above is a commit from libbluray.

Assuming you built libbluray from source, you can recompile it from git head after fetching the above commit. Otherwise wait for them to tag a release and your distro or package manager to update to it.

[Hunny Puppy]

hmm, I'm building using the ffmpeg build helpers rdp script to build it. I removed the sources and had it re-download the git and compile and I'm still seeing that error.

I believe the script is doing

git clone https://git.videolan.org/git/libbluray.git <folder>
get fetch
git checkout -f master
git merge origin/master

Anything else required?

[James]

That error is something trying to patch configure.ac from libbluray. Probably the script you mention you're using.

It's unrelated to the issue at hand and you should look at it with whoever wrote the script.

[Hunny Puppy]

I just nuked the whole sandbox and tried a fresh build from scratch and it worked. Looks like something was left over outside the libburay source folder which the script was trying to reference.

Thanks! It's working now.

I believe this ticket is now fixed and thus can be closed.

I am getting the same problem. I cloned libbluray repo and compiled it using:

./bootstrap && \
PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$HOME/ffmpeg_build/lib/pkgconfig" ./configure --prefix "$HOME/ffmpeg_build" --bindir="$HOME/ffmpeg_build/bin" --libdir="$HOME/ffmpeg_build/lib" && \
PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" make && \
make install

Then I tried to compile ffmpeg with:

cd ~/ffmpeg_sources && \
wget -O ffmpeg-snapshot.tar.bz2 https://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-snapshot.tar.bz2 && \
tar xjvf ffmpeg-snapshot.tar.bz2 && \
cd ffmpeg && \
PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$HOME/ffmpeg_build/lib/pkgconfig" ./configure \
  --prefix="$HOME/ffmpeg_build" \
  --pkg-config-flags="--static" \
  --extra-cflags="-I$HOME/ffmpeg_build/include -I/usr/local/cuda/include" \
  --extra-ldflags="-L$HOME/ffmpeg_build/lib -L/usr/local/cuda/lib64" \
  --extra-libs="-lpthread -lm" \
  --ld="g++" \
  --bindir="$HOME/bin" \
  --enable-gpl \
  --enable-gnutls \
  --enable-libaom \
  --enable-libass \
  --enable-libfdk-aac \
  --enable-libfreetype \
  --enable-libmp3lame \
  --enable-libopus \
  --enable-libsvtav1 \
  --enable-libdav1d \
  --enable-libvorbis \
  --enable-libvpx \
  --enable-libx264 \
  --enable-libx265 \
  --enable-nonfree \
  --enable-libbluray \
  --enable-cuda --enable-cuvid --enable-nvenc --enable-libnpp && \
PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" make -j$(nproc) && \
make install && \
hash -r

Unfortunately I get the following error:

ERROR: libbluray not found using pkg-config
