 |
|
Hello, all.
I am attempting to emerge media-video/vlc – specifically, media-video/vlc-0.9.9a-r1, as this is the latest one unmasked for amd64 – and I always fail with this error message: | Code: | *
* ERROR: media-video/vlc-0.9.9a-r1 failed.
* Call stack:
* ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile
* environment, line 3957: Called die
* The specific snippet of code:
* emake || die "make of VLC failed"
* The die message:
* make of VLC failed
*
* If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.
* A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/media-video/vlc-0.9.9a-r1/temp/build.log'.
* The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/media-video/vlc-0.9.9a-r1/temp/environment'.
* |
When I looked back on the output of the compiler/linker/whichever-program-is-generating-text-at-this-point-in-the-build, the most recent error message I come across is this: | Code: | make[5]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/media-video/vlc-0.9.9a-r1/work/vlc-0.9.9a/modules/gui/qt4'

It looks to me like there's some problem with my installation of “moc,” or else some typo in a script that's directing these compilations. I haven't found any bugs on Gentoo's Bugzilla that deal with this problem, nor have I found any mention of this already on the forums. According to qfile, /usr/bin/moc is part of x11-libs/qt-core. However, I tried re-emerging that and then emerging vlc again, without any success.
Can anyone suggest what I should do next?
Thank you.

| Have you tried revdep-rebuild? That solved my vlc compile problem. |

I would suggest keywording the 1.0.0 release.
Add
~media-video/vlc-1.0.0
~media-libs/libdvbpsi-0.1.6
to /etc/portage/package.keywords

Thank you both for your attempts.
Sorry for waiting so long to get back to you with my results.

I held off on doing this because there were some other problems I needed to fix before I could get a revdep-rebuild to go through. Upon fixing these problems and (successfully) running revdep-rebuild twice, I unmasked the 1.0.0 release and tried emerging vlc again. Sadly, I got what appears to be an identical error (moc: Invalid argument).
I should mention that I'm running this on an ~amd64 machine. The processor is a Pentium D, but I'm using the amd64 architecture because it's a 64-bit processor, and it's my understanding that's the architecture I'm supposed to use.
Thanks for your time and attention.

Not sure what's going on here. I'm running amd64 and have successfully emerged vlc 1.0.0.
Maybe you could try re-emerging all the qt4 packages? qt-core, qt-gui I know of, but I'm sure there is a better way to generate a list of which qt packages are on your system right now.

Blast. Oh, well.
I really do appreciate your attempts to help. I'll try re-emerging the qt4 packages now.
I was considering posting the /var/tmp/portage/media-video/vlc-1.0.0/temp/environment file and the complete /var/tmp/portage/media-video/vlc-1.0.0/temp/build.log but they're both quite long; is there any way for me to attach them to this post as text files for download, rather than simply pasting them into a code box? I've seen a similar feature on other boards, but I haven't determined if this board also has such a feature.

you might dump them to pastebin.ca and share the links with us
I would be very curious to see your make.conf
Chiefly because I found this - https://bugs.gentoo.org/237783
Likely something we can change in make.conf to get this sorted |

Yep, thank you. That bug described my problem to the letter: | Code: | ------- Comment #3 From Alexis Ballier 2008-09-16 14:55:56 0000 [reply] -------
CFLAGS="-march=core2 -O2 -pipe"
CPPFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
try removing the CPPFLAGS= line; optimization flags do not belong there afaik
|
If I interpret this correctly, then, my CPPFLAGS variable was being passed to moc, and they ought not to have been -- hence the "Invalid Argument" error. When I commented out that line, vlc compiled perfectly.
Thanks all of you, for your assistance, time, and attention.
