1.8.9 compile error on Ubuntu 12.04.4

[ktbzimm]

First off, I'm running Ubuntu 12.04.4, 64-bit. Running kernel is 3.2.0-60-generic.

I followed the optional instructions at http://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=224 to build with the latest FFMpeg with libfdk-aac support. I had to use different flags to compile FFMpeg, because it complained about some of the provided flags being invalid (looks like some flags changed on the latest FFMpeg):
./configure --prefix=/tmp/ffmpeg --enable-pic --disable-yasm --enable-libfdk-aac

That seems to compile and install fine; no errors displayed at the end of the run.

The configure step in makemkv-oss-1.8.9 seems to go fine:

However, running 'make' eventually gives this error:
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libfdk-aac.a(aacdecoder_lib.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `channelMappingTableWAV' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/local/lib/libfdk-aac.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [out/libmakemkv.so.1.full] Error 1

I added the flag to ffmpeg to compile with pic, so I'm not sure why it's asking to recompile with -fPIC.

Anyone know what I'm missing? Did I overlook something obvious? Should I be passing different flags to the configure scripts? Previously-installed ffmpeg via package manager conflicting? Perhaps a bug in builds of ffmpeg or makemkv?

Any thoughts are welcome.

I also get the same output for the ./configure

I have similar issue. Compling makemkv unter ubuntu 12.04 brings the followin error:

checking for ffmpeg... yes
checking whether LIBAVCODEC_VERSION_MAJOR is declared... yes
checking LIBAVCODEC_VERSION_MAJOR... failed
configure: error: in `/home/...../Downloads/makemkv/makemkv-oss-1.8.9':
configure: error: LIBAVCODEC_VERSION_MAJOR is not known at compile time in libavcodec.h
See `config.log' for more details

I have no libavcodec.h on my system. Compiling ffmep as described under 'MakeMKV 1.8.9 for Linux is available' has the same error.

Any help is welcome.

I think that I got it on 12.04.4. I basically did the "Optional" instructions as stated in the forum post for Linux. I did have to do some things differently when dealing with libfdk-aac. Everything compiled and seems to be working. I have not actually tried to back up a BluRay yet.

Hopefully, someone can tell me if I did the right thing.

Notes:

• I had to re-do the 'apt-get install'. Even though I had compiled earlier versions, this latest one still installed a couple of packages. Cannot remember which ones.
• Tried to compile ffmpeg the first time and it failed. I had to go grab libfdk-aac.
  • Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencor ... s/fdk-aac/ and download fdk-aac-0.1.3.tar.gz. Then unpack the tarball.
  • Run 'make'
  • Run 'sudo make install'
• Built ffmpeg with '--enable-libfdk-aac' in the configure line
• When building makemkv-oss, be sure to copy and paste the first full line of 'PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/tmp/ffmpeg/lib/pkgconfig ./configure'. I thought that it was a line wrap error and basically set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable first. Then ran './configure'. It failed to find /tmp/ffmpeg.
• Continue on with the install.

I had not installed checkinstall. I am assuming that it make some sort of package.

Good luck.
