MakeMKV installation for linux

[taylorwmj]

You said you only use ?debian? I think. Is there a debian version of mint?
I triedd installing the debian OS and as I recall I had som3e difficulty with it, possibly because it was very different from what I am used to.

Ok, so I've dug a bit deeper into this and installed the most recent release of mint on a VM. Mint is a Linux OS-based upon Debian and Ubuntu. When it comes to handling super user privileges, it's more aligned with the Ubuntu way of doing things. While all of these OS are Debian-based (save for Debian, which is just, well, Debian), certain inheritance may vary from different forks of Debian/Ubuntu.

I installed mint and then went and followed my instructions I provided earlier in the thread of how to install MakeMKV. I was able to get through each step with no issue and enter my password for any sudo command without issue. Upon completion of installation, I launched MakeMKV from not only terminal but also from the app launcher/search menu.


At what step are you having a difficult time? Can you quote the specific command you're struggling with? If you're having issues with a password for sudo commands, keep in mind this is just your standard password.

It's now not a command, it just won't let me enter my password.

It's now not a command, it just won't let me enter my password.

Can you elaborate on this? What do you mean it won't let enter your password?

Just as an FYI, generally in command line interfaces, the password prompt won't display little stars (*****) as you type, but all entry is invisible. If you think you screwed up as you're typing it, just hit backspace a bunch until you think it's clear. Otherwise, just enter it as you normally would and hit enter.

I didn't have the slightest idea that the pw wouldn't show. Everything was going great until I entered this code "sudo apt install libavcodec-dev" and the terminal asked me if I wanted to continue so I entered "s" as asked but it would not enter. I tried several times and ...nothing so I entered the next code. and was informed "command not found". Murphy is messing with me again. By the way, I was very impressed with all the code that showed up. Someone did an amazing job coming up with writing that code .

1. Open Terminal and copy/paste.

sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config libc6-dev libssl-dev libexpat1-dev libavcodec-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libqt4-dev

2. Hit Enter key.

3. Now write your password and hit Enter key.

4. Now write Y and hit Enter key.

I was able to complete the installation but it turned out to be an older version and I needed to install the latest version or get a registration code for the older version. Since I didn't have a registration code i went to the forum for the newest version and tried to install it. Here is what I got:
ff@jeff-A780L3B ~ $ sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config libc6-dev libssl-dev libexpat1-dev libavcodec-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libqt4-dev

Should I try this for the third time and, if so, should I still use the code you sent me first?

OK, you have installed all needed packages.

Now you need download makemkv-bin and makemkv-oss from there:
http://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=224

Extract both of them to your Download directory.

Now open terminal and open makemkv-oss directory by:

cd /home/jeff/Downloads/makemkv-oss-1.9.10

Hit Enter key.

Now copy/paste this to terminal

./configure && make && sudo make install

give your password when it ask that.

Exit for exit on terminal.

for makemkv-bin

cd /home/jeff/Downloads/makemkv-bin-1.9.10

make && sudo make install

there will be EULA things. Read or accept without reading Hit q key.

now write yes and hit enter.


I hope this will help some... and sorry my bad english

That BETA key is always there and if i recall it is always is in there.

May search be your friend. You can find "Search" right corner up, under "Search"

But there is link now:

BTW.
If someone think that my description of somekind of way to installation is good. Tell it, or tell, it's not work at all.

I'm ready listen if it's works or it's not work. Is there better way? To me it's works everytime. Tell your better way.

[taylorwmj]

I have no idea what to say to that at all. No idea where the beta key topic came from. This entire post doesn't even make sense...

I compiled MakeMKV 1.10.0 just fine by (loosely) following the instructions here and compiling my own ffmpeg 3.1.1 on Ubuntu 15.10 (rather than using ffmpeg 2.8.6 which is included in the package repository). I have a basic question, though:

• Is YASM support in only disabled for the sake of Makefile versions checks on libavcodec.so? i.e. Could I disable the relevant version checks on libavcodec and MakeMKV would still work without issue?

I also noticed that installation to a user-specified directory requires modifying the makemkv-bin-(version) Makefile directly. Will this eventually have a configure script with

Code: Select all

--prefix=

support?

Thanks much for making MakeMKV cross-platform!
