Handbrake dependencies

[Tactical Fart]

I'm following the compile guide here (http://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/CompileGuide) and when I try to compile i get failures because it can't find certain packages. Is there a dependency list for gentoo?

It would help to know what compile says about what's missing.

if you are compiling just the lib and cli version it looks like it only requires GCC, G++, and Subversion.

If you want the gui ... I would start with the deps listed for ubuntu in the guide you posted.

Just checked Gentoo's bugzilla and there is Handbrake ebuild.

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89432

Ebuild:

Don't know much about ebuilds, but I guess these lines are relevant:

After using the voyageur overlay and adding "media-video/handbrake ~64amd" to unmask.keywords I was able to emerge handbrake. But I get this in the end.

*
* ERROR: media-video/handbrake-0.9.3 failed.
* Call stack:
* ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile
* environment, line 2258: Called die
* The specific snippet of code:
* emake || die "make HandBrakeCLI failed";
* The die message:
* make HandBrakeCLI failed
*
* If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if rele
vant.
* A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/media-video/handbrake-0.
9.3/temp/build.log'.
* The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/media-video/handb
rake-0.9.3/temp/environment'.
* This ebuild is from an overlay named 'voyageur': '/usr/local/portage/layman/v
oyageur/'
*

I think I screwed up somewhere. Also I'm only trying to get the CLI to work. The GUI is nice but I have a thing for ssh, and I want to be able to go "screen HandBrakeCLI blah blah blah" and still expect it to be done when I get home. I'm running a 64-bit system if it matters (Intel E8400). I'm beginning to think this might be important (with the ~amd64 mask and all). Ideas?

although I am terrible at debugging compile failures ... I do know this ... you need to post at least 4-5 more lines of output above what you actually posted for someone to recognize a possible known error. So try adding a little more the emerge output ... it might even be better to post the entire build log.

Not sure how much it will help but, I built handbrake with the GUI from source last night, it required gstreamer, gpac, yasm, libnotify, dbus-glib and webkit-gtk to complete.

Moved from Multimedia to Unsupported Software.

I don't usually ask such questions but just try it out instead - please forgive my ignorance.
There is an IMO excellent program called "transcode" (media-video/transcode) and a nice GUI called "dvdrip" (media-video/dvdrip) which I'm using.
Has anyone used both handbrake and dvdrip and can provide a short comparison?
Is there anything one can do what the other can't - or better or not as well?

Thanks in advance!

It's more of a personal preference, dvdrip can do both H.264 (changing defaults and commands) and SMP (by using the cluster options) but both take additional time to set up. Handbrake defaults to H.264 and is SMP aware, which is just easier for me..

[jomen]

Thank you!

I only have one core and a cluster only after setting up another PC or laptop - which I tried once for the fun of it.
Changing to h264 or anything other is a click away and does not bother me so much as to try an ebuild not in portage yet. Too lazy.
Thanks again for your input!

No problem. I often (maybe too often) stray outside of portage for what I need. For me personally, it is just sometimes easier to grab source from the author and compile it, than to deal with ebuild failures. That's the beauty of linux for me. Each OS takes on it's own personality and DNA.
