GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 114948
make install fails at gst-libs/ext/ffmpeg
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
This is when ffmpeg is not present on the system. The Makefile.am there has: # on running make install, make sure make has been run first install: cd ffmpeg && $(MAKE) This case, configure.ac has set USE_FFMPEG to FALSE, hence, FFMPEG_DIR is being set to NONE in the Makefile here. In spite that, due to the above install rule, "make install" unnecessarilly does: cd ffmpeg && make and causes the failure.
Created attachment 17463 [details] [review] patch to remove double make stuff
It's pretty broken to do the action performed by 'make' twice, once in make and another time on make install. Just referring to the old one is much easier. The above patch does that (or tries to), does that fix it?
Yes. Thanks.
Applied to HEAD/0.6.x.
