Finally got transcode to compile on this AMD64. Many thanks to Petr Salinger form the Czech Republic! Here are the instructions, and the only caveat I found is from SID to SARGE, the libavcodec-dev package is different. So if you are on Sarge, here's what to do. If you are running Sid, then you have to substitute the libavcodec-dev package for the Sarge distro version. Otherwise the transcode make will crap out on vorbis function calls. Perhaps the maintainers of the Sid version of libavcodec-dev can fix that problem... -------------------------- apt-get install libavcodec-dev libdvdread3-dev libmpeg2-4-dev install lame via source download and unpack transcode in transcode configure - search and replace "-lavcodec" with "-lavcodec_pic" (5 times) ./configure There is one more problem - after ./configure change in import/Makefile line LIBAVCODEC_LIBS = -L/usr/lib -lavcodec_pic -lm -lz -lpthread into LIBAVCODEC_LIBS = -L/usr/lib -lavcodec_pic -ldts_pic -lm -lz -lpthread After that make finished sucessfully. -------------------------------------- I installed ffmpeg from source, but I believe that I didn't have to do that. The libavcodec-dev package has ffmpeg header files in it. Hope this helps someone else. Thanks again Petr!

Package libavcodec-dev contains two libraries, /usr/lib/libavcodec.a and /usr/lib/libavcodec_pic.a For creating shared library, you have to link with libavcodec_pic. gcc -shared .libs/import_ffmpeg.o -ldl -lz -lm -lpthread -lavcodec_pic -L/usr/lib -Wl,-soname -Wl,import_ffmpeg.so -o .libs/import_ffmpeg.so Regards Petr |
