Hmm, if it’s complaining about things not being declared, sounds like you might have a duff copy of ffmpeg out the source tree.

Could you report back the version of ffmpeg you’re compiling, your ./configure line, output from “env” utility and full operating system version, and I’ll try and offer more advice.

Cheers,

Alasdair

I was trying to compile ffmpeg on Solaris 10 but hit the error below. I only need it to generate thumbnails out of 3gp and mp4 files.

I used gnu gcc 3.4.6 and make 3.8.1.

Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I can certainly help, but my build environment is probably quite different from the one you’re using. For example, I spent a weekend compiling up gcc 4.4.0, the latest GNU Binutils (for the GNU Assembler “as”), Yasm (assembler), along with compiling up all the dependencies (x264, faac, faad2, etc).

I’ve attached the patches I use (sent via email). Here is the big configure line I use to build it:

./configure –prefix=/opt/ec –disable-shared –enable-nonfree –enable-gpl –enable-libamr-nb –enable-libamr-wb –enable-libdirac –enable-libfaac –enable-libfaad –enable-libmp3lame –enable-libopenjpeg –enable-libschroedinger –enable-libtheora –enable-libvorbis –enable-libx264 –enable-libxvid –disable-encoder=nellymoser –enable-avfilter –disable-debug –enable-swscale –enable-postproc –enable-pthreads –enable-mmx –enable-mmx2 –enable-sse –enable-ssse3 –enable-yasm

However I’d recommend starting off just compiling the base ffmpeg build with no dependencies, so:

export CC=gcc
export CXX=g++
export LDFLAGS=”-L/opt/sfw/lib -R/opt/sfw/lib -L/usr/sfw/lib -R/usr/sfw/lib -L/usr/lib -R/usr/lib”
export CPPFLAGS=”-I/usr/sfw/include -I/opt/sfw/include”
export CFLAGS=$CPPFLAGS
export PATH=/usr/ucb/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/opt/sfw/bin:$PATH

./configure –prefix=/opt/ec –disable-shared –enable-nonfree –enable-gpl –disable-encoder=nellymoser –disable-debug –enable-swscale –enable-postproc –enable-pthreads –disable-mmx –disable-mmx2 –disable-sse –disable-ssse3 –disable-yasm

The most important options there are “–disable-encoder=nellymoser” and “–disable-mmx”. The nellymosser encoder won’t compile on Solaris 10 (at least not with gcc 3.4)

I’ve attached the patches we use. You’ll need to apply them with gpatch from SFWdiffu (on the Solaris 10 companion CD), and SFWcoreu is needed for the GNU install program.

The avcodec.h and eval.c patches get around an issue with the NAN definition in the Solaris c library/maths includes/something like that.

The configure patch replaces grep with ggrep, and also changes the linker flags from the GNU ld options to Sun ld options. (Eg “-Wl,-soname” gets replaced with “-Wl,-h” and “-shared” gets replaced with “-G”)

The Makefile and subdir.mak patches replace the “install” command with /opt/sfw/bin/install which supports funkier options.

If you get stuck, give me the full details and I’ll try and help.

Cheers,

Alasdair
