Can't compile giFT and transcode, and problem w/ ImageMagick

[GuoJing]

I'm pulling my hair out after almost a week trying to compile these things and I have done everything I can and installed everything I think is related to these from the Mandrake CDs :? I hope you guys can help me with this. Many thanks in advance :)

 

With giFT:

 

Here are the problematic lines I can find:

 

After ./configure:

 

checking command to parse /usr//bin/nm -B output... ./configure: line 4187: uniq: command not found....

..................

configure: creating ./config.status

./configure: line 16047: uniq: command not found

..................

giFT 0.11.1



-------------------- core ---



libgift.................: yes

gift daemon.............: yes

use ltdl................: no



--------------- protocols ---



OpenFT..................: yes

Gnutella................: yes



-------------- extensions ---



use zlib................: yes

use perl................: no (support temporarily deprecated)

use libdb...............: yes



--------- meta data tools ---



use libvorbis...........: yes

use ImageMagick.........: no

use libmagic............: no



-----------------------------

 

After make:

....................



meta_avi.c:68:3: #error inttypes.h not found!

inttypes.h does exist in /usr/include.... I also have the same PACKAGE and VERSION problem in some avi_close_output_file function when compiling transcode (can't compile that one either).

 

Wonder if it has anything to do with ImageMagick. I have IM 5.4.4-7mdk installed with all the devel shit, but somehow transcode and this one both report that there is no ImageMagick (dependent modules) available; in particular, transcode even reports that InitializeMagick (which as I understand is the first and most basic function of the whole ImageMagick package) function cannot be found in -lMagick :mad:

 

This is where compiling transcode fails:

 

avilib.c: In function `avi_close_output_file':

avilib.c:995: `PACKAGE' undeclared (first use in this function)

avilib.c:995: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/guojing/Install/transcode-0.6.8'

make: *** [all] Error 2

 

and I've tried zillions of transcode versions.

 

AARRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH why do they have to make installing software so hard !!!!?????? :x

[sarah31]

you don't have the necessary depends likely to build either or the paths for the required headers. it is hard to tell from your errors though

[tyme]

urpmi coreutils

 

will get you uniq (this package should've been installed... :?)

 

if that fixes the uniq error try compiling again and see if you still have the problems. if so, i'll try compiling giFT on my system and see if i can duplicate the error.
