Installation problems ...

[langstracht]

I used the instructions listed on:

Code: Select all

http://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=224

the step:

Code: Select all

make -f makefile.linux

on:

Code: Select all

makemkv-oss-1.8.6

results in the following error:

Code: Select all

make: *** [out/libmakemkv.so.1.full] Error 1

and sure enough in trying to run:

Code: Select all

makmkvcon

I get the error message:

Code: Select all

error while loading shared libraries: libmakemkv.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It would appear that makeMKV rocks and I would REALLY like to use it.

Can anyone get me over this problem?

Thanks in advance.

In the "Stickies" section of this forum, there is a message "Workaround for 1.8.6 compilation issues". Have you read and tried that yet?

I had not ... principally because I did not know it was there.

Just to be sure it's the right one I assume you mean the directive to:

Code: Select all

./configure

make

sudo make install

On doing so I get the following VERY disappointing results;

Code: Select all

./configure 

gave a bunch of yes-es but the following that "look" wrong:

checking for AVFrame.nb_samples... no
checking whether AV_SAMPLE_FMT_U8P is declared... no
checking for avcodec_encode_audio2... no
configure: error: The libavcodec library is too old. Please get a recent one from http://www.ffmpeg.org

sudo make install

Code: Select all

make

results in the error message:

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

and

Code: Select all

sudo make install

results in the error message:

make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.

Very much look forward to resolution of this ...

I had not.

Doing so resulted in the following:

Code: Select all

./configure

seemed to return a whole bunch of yeses - which I assume is good - but the following "errors":

checking for AVFrame.nb_samples... no
checking whether AV_SAMPLE_FMT_U8P is declared... no
checking for avcodec_encode_audio2... no
configure: error: The libavcodec library is too old. Please get a recent one from http://www.ffmpeg.org

Code: Select all

make

resulted in:

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

And perhaps unsurprisingly

Code: Select all

sudo make install

resulted in:

make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop

.

A rather disappointing outcome ...

Very much look forward to a resolution.
