[SOLVED] makemkv cannot be compiled under Fedora Linux 21

[hakayova]

I believe it may be an openssl issue since the configure command in makemkv-oss-1.9.0 directory returns the following error:

Code: Select all

checking openssl/opensslconf.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: openssl/opensslconf.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: openssl/opensslconf.h:     check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: openssl/opensslconf.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: openssl/opensslconf.h:     section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
configure: WARNING: openssl/opensslconf.h: proceeding with the compiler's result
checking for openssl/opensslconf.h... no
configure: error: in `/home/hako/Yazilim/makemkv-oss-1.9.0':
configure: error: openssl library header files not found
See `config.log' for more details

There is not much more helpful information in the config.log file but I can post it if it is needed.

Openssl version is 1.0.1j-1.fc21.x86_64

I looked into the autoconf documentation but coudln't figure out a modification to the configure file os that it would comply.

Thanks in advance for the response(s).

Did you install the development package for OpenSSL, or just OpenSSL?

Make sure the "-devel" RPM is also installed.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, it is installed and the configure script actually detects it as present, but somehow the compilation does not continue, perhaps due to an outdated naming convention (my total speculation based on autoconf documentation I read).

[Woodstock]

A thought.... is the header readable by the user you're compiling under?

I've had libraries that can ONLY be accessed if you run the make as root. That might explain the "present but cannot be compiled"...

Yep, it worked. It configured, and also make and make install worked fine both for oss and bin directories. However, running makemkv returns the following error message:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/makemkvcon: error while loading shared libraries: libavutil.so.52: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

There is indeed no such file in /usr/lib64 directory. Instead there is libavutil.so.54. I tried creating a symlink to this file and named it as libavutil.so.52 (ugly workaround), but it still doesn't work creating the following error message:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/makemkvcon: /lib64/libavcodec.so.55: version `LIBAVCODEC_55' not found (required by /lib/libmakemkv.so.1)
/usr/bin/makemkvcon: /lib64/libavutil.so.52: version `LIBAVUTIL_52' not found (required by /lib/libmakemkv.so.1)

Is the ffmpeg 2.4.3-2.fc21.x86_64 (installed version) not compatible with makemkv? Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I hate to reply my own post but I made it worked. I deleted the compiling directories, re-extracted them form the tar.gz archives and re-compiled from scratch. Then it worked.

I guess this is waht I should have done at the first place. Thank you for the suggestions and I am sorry to have taken your time.
