gst-ffmpeg 0.12 doesn't build on amd64
Last modified: 2011-08-20 11:01:48 UTC
Here is the build failure in the ppa: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/75620266/buildlog_ubuntu-natty-amd64.gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg_0.10.12-1~natty2_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz I tryed to manually compile and I get the same error: http://www.pastie.org/2395631 the error seems related to libav, however is strange that an official release (gst-ffmpeg-0.12) doesn't build on a major arch (amd64)
That's a compiler bug
I installed gcc-4.4 from the natty repo changed the gcc symlink and compiled gst-ffmpeg just fine, maybe the same could be done in the ppa to ship the new gst-ffmpeg release to all 64 bit natty users, Nicola
