MLT - Problems with ffmpeg

Hi, im having problems to provide a new PKGBUILD for the new version 0.3.4 of "mlt". The notes for the new version recommends a specific version of "ffmpeg", SVN r16313.

I tried to make and test the new PKGBUILD on a fresh arch install, on a VirtualBox 32-bit guest on my 64-bit host. First i installed ffmpeg from the standard repos, but as expected, "mlt" wont build with the current version from the "extra" repository. Then i made a PKGBUILD for "ffmpeg-svn", compiled and installed it, and "mlt" built and worked (Tested with "mlt++" and "kdenlive", which i also compiled on the virtual test machine). Because that is not very user friendly, to have to install a specific version of "ffmpeg", i tried the configuration option "--avformat-svn", which (if i understood correctly) statically links "ffmpeg r16313". That also worked, and "mlt++" and "kdenlive" worked too.

Finally i tried the PKGBUILD on my real 64-bit system, and it didnt compiled. I dont understand, why it compiles on a fresh system and not on my real system, which are both up to date. Or could some packages in 32-bit and 64-bit have different versions? May it be, that this is the reason?

Heres the PKGBUILD (i can post the error message, when im at home):

Re: MLT - Problems with ffmpeg

There was a thread about ffmpeg on the Arch dev mailing list. And just now a new version (20081220) entered [testing]. You should give that a shot.

Edit: This is the thread: http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev … 09799.html

Edit2: It builds well with the stuff from [testing].

Re: MLT - Problems with ffmpeg

Thank you for the info! I am listening to this mailing list now, too. I'll try to rebuild for both arches with the packages from testing.
