mencoder compilation failed

A

assumer

Hello all! New to FreeBSD; I've had it installed a week now and have been able to get gnome and kde running using xinerama, and am loving the whole "ports" system.

But I am now stuck trying to install mencoder.

Here is what happens:
Code: 
# portmaster multimedia/mencoder
...
cc -MD -MP -Wundef -Wall -Wno-switch -Wno-parentheses -Wpointer-arith -Wredundant-decls 
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wdisabled-optimization -Wno-pointer-sign 
-Wdeclaration-after-statement -std=gnu99  -O4 -march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -pipe 
-ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer
-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -Ilibdvdread4 -I. 
-Iffmpeg  -I/usr/local/include  -I/usr/local/include  -I/usr/local/include/freetype2
-I/usr/local/include -DFF_API_MAX_STREAMS=0 -c -o m_option.o m_option.c

                 from libmpdemux/aviheader.h:27,
                 from codec-cfg.c:57:
./sub/ass_mp.h:31:21: error: ass/ass.h: No such file or directory

                 from codec-cfg.c:57:
./sub/ass_mp.h:34: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before '*' token
./sub/ass_mp.h:48: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before '*' token
...(a whole bunch more ass_mp.h errors)

I haven't modified any of the config options or anything like that. Any thoughts on helping a newbie out?

Thanks in advance.

install mplayer first.

That's where the missing header file comes from

This shouldn't be needed. Mencoder and MPlayer are so much alike they even share the same port Makefile.

@assumer, what version of mencoder are you trying to build? Did you update your ports tree?
 
Hi, yes my ports tree was updated (did a portsnap fetch update). I'm on my work computer right now but I believe it was version 20110329. I tried installing mplayer, but it automatically tried to install both together, so I know that's not the issue.
 
I just build version 1.0.r20110329 and that went without any issues.
 
More data?

Hmmm is there any information I could supply, or any other ports I could rebuild, or any config options I could set, which would help diagnose my problem?
 
Do you have any CFLAGS or similar in /etc/make.conf? If so, remove them and try again.

I just removed everything in /etc/make.conf and the same error comes up regarding ass.h.
 
I found the problem...

The problem was during make, this line:

Code: 
 cc -O -DCODECS2HTML -I. -Iffmpeg -o codec-cfg codec-cfg.c
gave the error.

So I went into the work/mplayer-export-2011-03-29 directory, and ran:

Code: 
 cc -O -DCODECS2HTML -I/usr/local/include -I. -Iffmpeg -o codec-cfg codec-cfg.c

and then code-cfg.c compiled. I ran make again and then make install and it finished. Wow! Why was this necessary? What went wrong? Why wasn't /usr/local/include included by default?

This seems a bit ridiculous...did I miss something that screwed this up?
 
Yes, that is odd and shouldn't be needed. As I said, I build the port without any issues. Not sure why yours failed this way.
 
In case someone is wondering.

Seems like it fails when multimedia/libass (which is required by vlc but not mplayer/mencoder) is installed.

From sub/ass_mp.h (in the port's build directory):

Code: 
#if defined(CONFIG_ASS_INTERNAL) || !defined(CONFIG_ASS)
#include "libass/ass.h"
#else
#include <ass/ass.h>
#endif

If multimedia/libass is not installed libass/ass.h (in the build directory) is used and it succeeds. If it is installed it fails because -I/use/local/include is missing from the command:
Code: 
 cc -O -DCODECS2HTML -I. -Iffmpeg -o codec-cfg codec-cfg.c

Should be easy to fix, I think.
