Unable to compile Audacity (Subversion trunk) on Fedora 17

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to compile Audacity from the Subversion trunk, and “make” is failing as follows:

My OS is Fedora 17.
My version of ffmpeg is “ffmpeg-0.10.4-1.fc17.x86_64” from the rpmfusion-free-updates repo.

I will be glad to give you any other information that you may need.

It may be that Audacity is not compatible with your version of FFMpeg.
A similar case here: https://forum.audacityteam.org/t/compile-failed-in-debian-squeeze-x64/24919/1

You could try building without FFMpeg support, or change your version of FFMpeg to a supported version.

I think that to build without FFMpeg you would need to compile with something like:

./configure --without-ffmpeg

(I’ve not tried that myself)

Now that’s wierd. I already do compile without FFMPEG support.
Here is my “configure” command line:
./configure --without-ffmpeg --prefix=/usr/local/spu/spu-$(xdate)/audacity

And, here is the output of the above quoted “configure” line:

Finished configure:
LIBVORBIS: using SYSTEM libraries
LIBMAD: using SYSTEM libraries
LIBSNDFILE: using SYSTEM libraries
LIBFLAC: using SYSTEM libraries

So, it LOOKS like I already compile without FFMPEG…

Hmm, that doesn’t look quite right does it. I’ll ask about this.

Building against versions of FFmpeg above 8 are largely untested so I’m not surprised if there are problems with FFMpeg 9, 10 and 11.

Try adding this to your configure options:

--disable-dynamic-loading

This is a new configure option which I’ve not yet tried so I don’t know exactly how it will work, but it may do the trick. If that does not work, would you be able to temporarily uninstall FFMpeg and then run configure/make again?

Inspiration struck me after I made the above quoted post. I removed “–without-ffmpeg” from my “configure” command line and recompiled. The result is that my problem appears to be solved Sorry for the noise…

No problem. User feedback is very useful. FFMpeg is a very fast changing library which makes it difficult to track, especially as there are so many branches.

Is Audacity actually using “ffmpeg-0.10.4-1.fc17.x86_64” ?
Does it work?
