Hi,
following the usual procedure with an up-to-date Debian Unstable,

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config libc6-dev libssl-dev libexpat1-dev libavcodec-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libqt4-dev zlib1g-dev
$ wget http://www.makemkv.com/download/makemkv-bin-1.12.3.tar.gz
$ wget http://www.makemkv.com/download/makemkv-oss-1.12.3.tar.gz
$ tar xvzf makemkv-oss-1.12.3.tar.gz 
$ tar xvzf makemkv-bin-1.12.3.tar.gz

...compiling just gets me the following error:

Code: Select all

$ ./configure

I'm hesitant to post the whole config.log (to not bore you), but here's what looks interesting (preceding errors):

Any ideas? This surely has to do with some updated Debian packages; re-compiling my current MakeMKV Version 1.12.0 also gives the same error.

(Edit: Made some corrections due to copy&paste errors)

Edit 2020-01-05: I gave it another try and, to my pleasant surprise, installation now works again with the current Debian Sid version. gcc: 4:9.2.1-3.1, libc6: 2.29-7.

$ wget http://www.makemkv.com/download/makemkv ... 2.1.tar.gz
$ wget http://www.makemkv.com/download/makemkv ... 2.1.tar.gz
$ tar xvzf makemkv-oss-1.12.0.tar.gz
$ tar xvzf makemkv-bin-1.12.0.tar.gz

The current version is 1.12.3. As far as I know, older versions for Linux are not maintained.
In other words, your wget-s for version 1.12.1 should fail. If I run those commands,
they fail for me with a "not found" error.

Secondly, you say you downloaded version 1.12.1, but you unpacked (with tar xvzf)
version 1.12.0.

So I don't know what you are trying to compile.

Sorry, that was to illustrate the process... copy&paste error. Of course, I downloaded and precessed the currect version 1.12.3. That all went well, up to "./configure". And that error isn't specific to 1.12.3, but also to 1.12.0 which compiled ok back then.

I still fail to compile any MakeMKV version on my Debian Unstable installation, be it the latest 1.14.2 or the old 1.12.0 I'm still forced to use now (which compiled just fine back then).

Would be glad to hear from other Debian users if they have problems, too... or preferably, any hint on what the problem could be...

I also have this problem on Ubuntu.

Used to work just fine, a few versions back. So strange!

Posted: **Fri Mar 01, 2019 7:52 pm**

SOLVED! Problem appears to be with

Code: Select all

cc1: error: /usr/local/include/x86_64-linux-gnu: Not a directory
cc1: warning: /usr/local/include: not a directory

My `/usr/local/include`appears to be a file created by some other program. I ran:

Code: Select all

sudo mv /usr/local/include /usr/local/include.bak

It then compiled perfectly!
