will someone help a newb install MakeMKV on Ubuntu 14.04?

Post by statsman58 »

I have Unbuntu 14.04 LTS and just downloaded makemkv and tried to install it but was unsuccessful.
The forum I was using with instructions was dated 2010 so I'm wondering if I have the best instructions.

Any help for this newb would be appreciated.

What steps did you take?

In short it should be :
sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config libc6-dev libssl-dev libexpat1-dev libavcodec-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libqt4-dev

untar each file (tar -xvf <insert file name here>)

go into the *oss* folder first

./configure
make
sudo make install

go to the *bin* folder
make
accept the terms it comes up with
sudo make install

then it should be installed.

However, as of yet i've had no success running it on Ubuntu(it runs, but is unable to decode disc) .... will be interesting to see how you do.

Just installed 1.8.13 on my Ubuntu 14.04 system, and it works. One note, when you build the environment for compiling, the "l" and "1" look to be the same on the command line.(sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config libc6-dev libssl-dev libexpat1-dev libavcodec-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libqt4-dev)

I also am having some trouble with the initial steps. When running command:
sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config libc6-dev libssl-dev libexpat1-dev libavcodec-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libqt4-dev

I get this output:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
build-essential is already the newest version.
libexpat1-dev is already the newest version.
libexpat1-dev set to manually installed.
pkg-config is already the newest version.
libc6-dev is already the newest version.
libssl-dev is already the newest version.
libssl-dev set to manually installed.
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libavcodec-dev : Depends: libavutil-dev (= 6:9.16-0ubuntu0.14.04.1+fdkaac) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I've tried to install some packages that appear to be missing, individually, but I get errors. How do I get the proper packages and correct this problem. Thank you.

Yes I did try that.

I've had to manually install other miss lib files and there was no problems. Not libavutil-dev. Also, somehow Handbrake is installed, but it crashes / closes, everytime I select a source file. Should I un-install and try again? How would I do that? And how would I get these lib files to install properly. Help.

Have you tried the usual steps?

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config libc6-dev libssl-dev libexpat1-dev libavcodec-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libqt4-dev
If something is blocking your system try:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get -f install
might be a wrongly installed package.

Hi, I've made an attempt to install v1.8.13; I was able to install bin, but when it came to oss, I couldn't get a makefile. This is what came up after I ran the ./configure command:

Code: Select all

checking expat.h usability... no
checking expat.h presence... no
checking for expat.h... no
configure: error: in `/home/cf_3/makemkv-oss-1.8.13':
configure: error: expat library header files not found
I still consider myself new to Linux despite having used it exclusively for two years, so, um, help please? Thanks.

Hmm, I'm helping you from Debian that's quite similar to Ubuntu. Try to install libexpat1-dev.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libexpat1-dev

Thanks, much simpler than I had expected. There were a couple of other libraries that I had to install, but now it's done. But it still doesn't work. When I try to play a blu-ray disc (e.g. Lincoln), I get
Blu-ray error:

Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'bluray:///media/cf_3/LINCOLN'. Check the log for details.
Here's what I get in the log:

I think you are doing it wrong. MakeMKV let's you either rip your BD's or stream your BD to a player, like VLC. If you want to play a BD directly from VLC you need to follow some guides (like this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/BluRay), but you will find yourself in a dead-end as soon as your master key will be revoked by a new Blu-Ray.

[s]Ugh, this is all so discouraging, I feel like just giving up. Why does it have to be such a pain to play a disc that was purchased legally from a retail outlet? Yeah, I get it, piracy, but why do we all have to be punished?[/s] [edit: i guess there's no strikeout code on these forums?]

Okay, petulant whining out of the way, I tried streaming after letting makemkv examine the disc, and nothing came up on vlc. Like, I entered the address I was given, and nothing really happened. Sorry if this all sounds so stupid and lazy everything, but I'm so burned out from working on other stuff that I can't do anything about this on my own.

Hi There,

Do not know where to put my replay, so do it here. I am using 14.04.01 on AMD-A8-5500 computer. With Ubuntu sesktop I am getting more and more aquinted. MakeMKV compiles without any errors, nice. It works great like I am in Windows, super. One remark tough, there is no logo in the starter of Ubuntu.

I am impressed and zo easy to install!!

Many Thanks & Best regards

I have tried several times to install 1.8.14. Each time I make makemkv-oss-1.8.14 I get an error

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libavcodec.a(allcodecs.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `ff_a64multi_encoder' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/local/lib/libavcodec.a: error adding symbols: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [out/libmakemkv.so.1.full] Error 1
This happened when I compiled manually and with the install script from this forum page:
http://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic ... 6&start=15

What am I doing wrong?
