What am i possibly doing wrong

[paintbullits]

So, i must be an idot somehow but would anyone please explain how?

On linux mint, I tried installing 2.0.0 with

Code: Select all

make
sudo make install

in both the oss and bin folders. everything seemed to go ok. Then when I open it, im hit with "Scanning CD-ROM devices" and it will never find any.

After reading around here some I found a lot of people were saying there were bugs and to use older versions. So I uninstalled and tried again with progressively older versions. This is where i don’t know what’s going on. i will run the same make sudo make install commands, read the eula, type "yes", and MakeMKV will NOT be installed. Its not in the menue, "makemkv' in the terminal is not a command and nothing exists at "/usr/bin/makemkv".

Any ideas folks?

First step wrong: installing version 2.0.0, which has a vivid history of being broken.

Version 1.18.x and 1.17.x both have better history of working.

For makemkv-oss

Did you first run?

./configure

For makemkv-oss

Did you first run?

./configure

Yes, i did. should have mentioned that.

Version 1.18.x and 1.17.x both have better history of working.

i did go over that actually. to be precise i have tried
1.18.4
1.18.2
1.17.7
1.17.6
and
1.17.4
all exhibiting the same behaviour of getting through the terminal installation without me being able to spot any error message, yet not actually getting installed

At any rate, i tried version 2 again because it was the one that got the farthest. After much frustration i found that i can get further than the "Scanning CD-ROM devices" only if i start the program with the DVD tray extended out. closed empty or closed with dvd both get stuck for some reason. idk why though

Thank you both!
