Howto build Avidemux on OSX 10.6, 10.7, or 10.8 using Homebrew

[nibbles]

Homebrew has patched cmake-2.8.8 using the Kitware patch for pkg-config that will appear in cmake-2.8.9.  I tested Homebrew's patched cmake with avidemux-2.5 and 2.6.  Both build without error.  If you want to get the patched cmake, you need to:

Code: [Select]

brew update
brew rm cmake
brew install cmake
After that you can build 2.5 or 2.6 as usual.

 I do all the steps recommended... and now?  How I can start avidemux? 

[styrol]

If you built 2.6 just open "avidemux" in

/usr/local/Cellar/avidemux3/2.6/bin/

Avidemux 2.5 should also reside in /usr/local/Cellar/

There is a symlink in /usr/local/bin. Best way you create an alias from there and place it in your application folder.

I tried to build avidemux 2.6 and I get the following error:

Code: [Select]

brew install avidemux3

I've done everything as explained and have been very careful to not miss anything starting with the installation of Homebrew, Ruby, etc. I am myself a Java Developer.

Sorry about that @CyberGene.  Homebrew changed their installer code recently.  When I modified the formula to use their new variables, I made a mistake by leaving in the 'split' command.  I fixed that within a day or two and made a commit, but I stepped away from my computer and forgot to push the change to the main repo until today.  Please download the updated avidemux3.rb formula from Page 1, and try again.  I just used that link and verified that everything works.

At first, I've tried the macports script, which fails after some hours.

With Homebrew I was able to build 2.5.6.

But I can't build 2.6 (missing formula for avidemux3 in Homebrew).

EDIT: Sorry I've forgotten to download the formula.

It works

Cu, Timor

brew install --HEAD avidemux

I've just installed it, following the tutorial; on my ML, it installed just fine.

[Menneisyys]

There seems to be no avidemux3 formula any more.

When I list the list of formulas starting with avi (with "brew search avi"), I only get avidemux (that is, 2.5.5 r7908) but not  avidemux3.

What can the problem be?

[Jan Gruuthuse]

Myself not an apple user. Looks like 2.6 is not in homebrew mainstream.
Home brew formula tells:

Code: [Select]

6 url 'http://downloads.sourceforge.net/avidemux/avidemux_2.5.6.tar.gz'
9 head 'http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/avidemux/branches/avidemux_2.5_branch_gruntster'This should be 2.5.6 version.
My guess is you need to download the formula from this page: Howto build Avidemux2 using Homebrew on Snow Leopard or Lion under the header: Info On Building 2.6, can't tell if this would currently build, as users reported issues with building. I've not seen reports this is fixed/or a fix is working?

I'm getting an identical failure when building avidemux 2.5.6 on Lion (manual, not via homebrew).  Has there been good resolution for this error?  I locally patched ADM_vidFlux.cpp:645 to use 'subl' instead of 'sub', and that lets the build continue, but I have no idea if that's the correct solution.

[nibbles]

VidFlux has been a problem on OSX for a long time.  When I posted this error to llvm.org, I was told that it was fixed in svn.  I did not find that to be the case.  So Homebrew compiles Avidemux-2.5 using llvm-gcc, not clang, and we keep hoping that it will get fixed.  Because you posted the first possible solution to this, we'll have to get Mean to weigh in and tell us if that is reasonable. This is like the one bug I was never able to solve.  So thanks for posting.  He may not see this post or have time to work on 2.5, though.
