attempt vrecord linux brew ubuntu 18.04 INSTALL problem

[jshupeGitHub]

I have resolved previous problems with sdl and cowsay

but now am stuck

i think I have my PATH ok i did the suggested echos

brew doctor

Warning: Homebrew’s bin was not found in your PATH. Consider setting the PATH for example like so: echo ‘export PATH="/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin:$PATH"’ >> ~/.bash_profile

Warning: Homebrew’s sbin was not found in your PATH but you have installed formulae that put executables in /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/sbin. Consider setting the PATH for example like so: echo ‘export PATH="/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/sbin:$PATH"’ >> ~/.bash_profile

i seem to be stuck on a last step

------{ it is possible that the clue to solution is in the above ...and I fail to understand it--------

presently I am attempting to whittle my way through with a

brew install --ignore-dependencies vrecord

and when that fails with a child process - then I respond to that here you can see a few attempts on that giflib , leptonica , tesseract and on and on

maybe there is a "better" flag for linux ubuntu 18.4 besides " --ignore-dependencies " but would autoMagically get the dependencies

or how do I "adjust" my $PATH to point to things ...that maybe I do have in sbin and on like that OR maybe this is the best way.... I would also benefit from a word of YES- that will eventually work and you will vrecord on linux 18.04 and can happily capture directly into ffv1 v3 into a mkv or or NO- that will never work

any assistance would be welcomed

thanks in advance

best wishes

Duplicate of https://github.com/amiaopensource/vrecord/issues/528.

@retokromer, have you run into this (what appears to be) upstream issue, where despite using the --ignore-dependencies flag linuxbrew will seek out every dependency one by one?

Could it be time to modify the install formula to do a system check and to cut down on as many dependencies as possible in Linux while referring people to the install docs?

[retokromer]

In my opinion as well, this is an upstream issue.

Indeed! I don’t remember the details right now, but I do remember that on my end an analysis of the configuration generated a patch for the configure/makefile.

[retokromer]

@privatezero I suggest to close this one, because the current version 2020-02-10 is now 158 commits (with 1,374 additions and 638 deletions) behind the HEAD. Very much has been modified!

[retokromer]

Closing, because a new release was made.

[privatezero]

I imagine this should be resolved in latest release as it eliminates the need for --ignore-dependencies thus hopefully avoiding the upstream issue
