Can't compile Audacity from SVN on Fedora 14

[StevenPUlrick]

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to compile a fresh copy of Audacity from SVN on Fedora 14. "make" bails with this error:
make[1]: *** [FFmpeg.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/steve/CVS/Assorted-CVS-Modules/audacity-read-only/src'
make: *** [audacity] Error 2

I know for a fact that I do NOT have FFmpeg.o installed on my system. I have the following FFmpeg RPM's installed on my system:

• ffmpeg.x86_64 0.6-4.20100704svn.fc14 @rpmfusion-free
  ffmpeg-devel.x86_64 0.6-4.20100704svn.fc14 @rpmfusion-free
  ffmpeg-libs.x86_64 0.6-4.20100704svn.fc14 @rpmfusion-free
  gstreamer-ffmpeg.x86_64 0.10.11-1.fc14 @rpmfusion-free

The following FFmpeg RPM's are available:

• ffmpeg-devel.i686 0.6-4.20100704svn.fc14 rpmfusion-free
  ffmpeg-libs.i686 0.6-4.20100704svn.fc14 rpmfusion-free
  ffmpeg2dirac.x86_64 0.1.0-4.fc12 rpmfusion-free
  ffmpeg2theora.x86_64 0.27-1.fc14 rpmfusion-free
  ffmpegthumbnailer.i686 2.0.6-1.fc14 rpmfusion-free-updates
  ffmpegthumbnailer.x86_64 2.0.6-1.fc14 rpmfusion-free-updates
  ffmpegthumbnailer-devel.i686 2.0.6-1.fc14 rpmfusion-free-updates
  ffmpegthumbnailer-devel.x86_64 2.0.6-1.fc14 rpmfusion-free-updates
  gallery2-ffmpeg.noarch 2.3.1-2.fc14 fedora
  gstreamer-ffmpeg.i686 0.10.11-1.fc14 rpmfusion-free
  kffmpegthumbnailer.x86_64 1.1.0-4.fc14 rpmfusion-free

• Here is the entire output of "configure" and "make", as well as the full contents of "config.log"

Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated.

I'm assuming you already read the compile instructions for linux here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Developing_On_Linux

I believe you need ffmpeg 0.5 and not 0.6. And you'll need the development ffmpeg files and not only the binary.

You can also compile it without ffmpeg support (you won't be able to import audio files that require ffmpeg).

Looks like the only mistake that I have made so far is using RPM Fusion's FFMPEG, which is version 0.6. I'll try again later with version 0.5.

What seems really strange is that I could compile Audacity from SVN on Fedora 13. RPM Fusion's FFMPEG version for Fedora 13 is 0.6-0.3...

There have recently been several changes to FFMpeg support. Ensure that you have a fresh SVN source and you may also want to apply the most recent patch from here: http://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=176
