Hi everybody,
I know this is a FAQ but I have got some problems because it should work. I'm using CentOS 7 and I compiled from source code audacity-minsrc-2.1.1 after compiled the ffmpeg library version 2.3.6 (it should be a compatible version) using --enable-shared so i have the libavformat.so file. I have positioned a symbolic link in /usr/share/pkgconfig pointing to /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig for the pc files before install audacity as well. But Audacity still not import m4a files also if i go to preferences and manually set the path for libavformat.so.
What is the problem?
FFMPEG installed, Audacity cannot import m4a [SOLVED]

Re: FFMPEG library installed but Audacity cannot import m4a
What "pc files" are those? There is no need for that step, as far as I know, unless it is something that CentOS requires you to do.JJ-Midday wrote:I know this is a FAQ but I have got some problems because it should work.

Do you see the F,C,U numbers in Libraries Preferences? If yes, the problem is with the M4A files - look at Help > Show Log... .JJ-Midday wrote: But Audacity still not import m4a files also if i go to preferences and manually set the path for libavformat.so.
Have you tried configuring Audacity with --disable-dynamic-loading, which removes the Libraries Preferences?

Re: FFMPEG library installed but Audacity cannot import m4a
PC files concern pkg-config. I prefer to leave default setting when config make ecc and so pkg-config often does not find installed libraries because it look for them in /usr/share/pkgconfig instead of /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig where often are installed. Making a symbolic link it works.
I cannot see F, C, U numbers.. i've got "FFMpeg library not found".. Here's the log (it's in italian but definitely there's written Error: impossible to open compatible FFMpeg libraries"
"14:15:55: Loading avformat from 'libavformat.so.55'.
14:15:55: Errore: libavformat.so.55: impossibile aprire il file oggetto condiviso: File o directory non esistente
14:15:55: Errore: Failed to load FFmpeg libraries.
14:15:55: Errore: Impossibile trovare librerie FFmpeg compatibili."
I'll try to configure it with --disable-dynamic-loading!

Re: FFMPEG installed, Audacity cannot import m4a [SOLVED]
I'm sorry yesterday i thought i had answered.. Now It Works! Many many many thanks! I configured audacity with --disable-dynamic-loading and then it worked.. (I had to create symbolic link for library because they were in /usr/local/... instead of /usr/lib and audacity could not find them but it's normal..) Thanks!
