 |
|
Ok, I managed to find a quite good ebuild for freevo. 
You can find it at the CVS folder of freevo sourceforge page : http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/freevo/freevo/contrib/gentoo/
1/ Download the file "rsync-freevo.sh"
2/ su and chmod the file to 744
2/ Configure your PORTDIR_OVERLAY (usually /usr/local/portage) in your /etc/make.conf file
3/ launch the script.
4/ Once it's done, go to /usr/local/portage/media-video/freevo and emerge the latest ebuild !!
Normally, it should be allright 
bye !

Hi!
Thanks, your guide works, but I'm running into errors when it compiles freevo_runtime:
| Code: |

It's compiling some minutes and then: hasta la vista, baby! Any hints?

Apparently, your problem has something in common with SDL libraries.... Maybe you should just take a look at the freevo forums and do a quicks search, I'm sure someone had already the same issue !
www.freevo.org --> Mailing Lists --> User list.
If you still don't manage to solve it, just let me know !
bye

I'm getting the exact same errors trying to run the ebuild. I didn't find anything on the sf forums that would help. I tried turning down my cflags and that didn't help.
| Code: | #/etc/make.conf

I used to get the same error but it went away when i rebuild my system. My current flags are:
| Code: | USE="X xml2 3dnow mmx gtk gnome alsa gtk2 quicktime nls oss svga opengl truetype gif jpeg sdl -kde -dga -dvd"
CFLAGS="-mcpu=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" |
Iam now getting a new one though..this is when it tries to compile Imaging.
| Code: | Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 287, in ?
extra_compile_args=EXTRA_COMPILE_ARGS,
NameError: name 'EXTRA_COMPILE_ARGS' is not defined
!!! ERROR: dev-python/Imaging-1.1.4 failed.
!!! Function distutils_src_compile, Line 36, Exitcode 1
!!! compilation failed
|
Any ideas on fixing the error above?

Finally got around to looking at this issue again and have managed to resolve it. The culprit was obviously in the setup.py file so to fix it i first did
| Code: | #cd /usr/portage/distfiles
#tar zxvf Imaging-1.1.4*.gz
|
This extracted the gz file into Imaging-1.1.4 folder. After that..did a nano -w on the setup.py file and located the following code:
| Code: | if have_freetype:
MODULES.append(
Extension(
"_imagingft",
["_imagingft.c"] + FILES,
include_dirs=INCLUDE_DIRS,
library_dirs=LIBRARY_DIRS,
libraries=LIBRARIES,
extra_compile_args=EXTRA_COMPILE_ARGS,
extra_link_args=EXTRA_LINK_ARGS
)
)
|
The above code was changed to:
| Code: | if have_freetype:
MODULES.append(
Extension(
"_imagingft",
["_imagingft.c"] + FILES,
include_dirs=INCLUDE_DIRS,
library_dirs=LIBRARY_DIRS,
libraries=LIBRARIES,
extra_compile_args=None,
extra_link_args=None
)
)
|
Once that was done..the file was saved and the following commands executed to gz the files.
| Code: | #cd ..
#tar cvf - Imaging-1.1.4 |gzip >Imaging-1.1.4.tar.gz
|
This done...i tried to emerge Imaging and it came up with an error that there was a MD5 string mismatch. To fix this i did | Code: | # cd /usr/portage/dev-python/Imaging/files
|
and opened the digest-Imaging-1.1.4 file. This file contains the MD5 hash for Imaging-1.1.4.tar.gz file. In above..when the error about the MD5 mismatch first comes up..it gave the MD5 string for the new Imaging-1.1.4.tar.gz file. I copied that string and placed it into the digest file. After saving it, i did a emerge Imaging again with successfull results.
The rest of the installation went pretty smoothly. I did a | Code: | #cd /usr/local/portage/media-video/freevo
#emerge freevo-1.3.2_pre4.ebuild
|
and everything got installed. Maybe there was an easier way of fixing this but this way worked soz iam happy. Now to configure the beast

I tried the fix and I'm still getting nowhere. Same error occurs. It's a bit frustrating.

Same error here. Solution, install the Arial Bold font:
| Quote: | At startup you are probably seeing this.
Couldnt load font "skins/fonts/Arial_Bold.TTF"
trying alternate: ./skins/fonts/kimberly_alt.ttf
Arial is hardcoded in your theme.fxd and the newer pre- 4 5 runtimes
doesn't load the alternate font. When i added the Arial_Bold.TTF
in skins/fonts everything loaded fine. Discussed this already with Rob
Shortt on IRC. Not sure if Rob or others already found a solution for this. |
