Fails to compile in Fedora 23 x64 #28

Closed chazzbg closed 8 years ago

chazzbg commented 8 years ago

When trying to compile av caster on Fedora 23 i encountered some errors .

  1. JuceHeader.h was not found make was complaining that it cant find JuceHeader.h . 
mkdir: missing operand
Try 'mkdir --help' for more information.
Makefile:108: recipe for target '/AvCaster_86a5e2ca.o' failed
make: [/AvCaster_86a5e2ca.o] Error 1 (ignored)
Compiling AvCaster.cpp
In file included from ../../Source/MainContent.h:27:0,
                 from ../../Source/AvCaster.h:25,
                 from ../../Source/AvCaster.cpp:20:

compilation terminated.
Makefile:108: recipe for target '/AvCaster_86a5e2ca.o' failed
make: *** [/AvCaster_86a5e2ca.o] Error 1

I added a relative path to the header file, in every header that includes JuceHeader.h and the compilation continued BUT

  1. Even though i have both gstreamer1-devel and gstreamer1-plugins-base-devel , it complains that it cant find gst.h 
make CONFIG=RELEASE
mkdir: missing operand
Try 'mkdir --help' for more information.

i'm starting to think that I did something wrong

sry @chazzbg - i could not reporoduce this - i installed fedora 23 today to build myself and note the exact dependencies but i had no problem at all - i did not need to adjust any header paths - i just installed some dependencies and it built smoothly

these are the packages i needed to install on a fresh install of fedora23 64-bit build dependencies:

  sudo dnf install gcc-c++ libX11-devel freetype-devel libXinerama-devel libXcursor-devel gstreamer1-plugins-base-devel

runtime dependencies:

  sudo dnf install http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
  sudo dnf install gstreamer1-plugins-good gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free gstreamer1-plugins-ugly

Lol, so the problem is in my box. I came to the conclusion that make could not resolve include paths well, or just gcc cant pase them well. Never mind.

bill-auger commented 8 years ago

i would like to make rpm package someday - if you would like to test that let me know

thing is this program will not run in a virtual machine so i can test the build on a particular OS but i can not actually test the program unless i install each OS

bill-auger commented 8 years ago

@chazzbg there is now a rpm package repo for fedora 23 if you would care to try that :) http://software.opensuse.org/download/package?project=home:bill-auger&package=av-caster

chazzbg commented 8 years ago

thanks! i've installed it, but there are some issues.

  1. won't broadcast when livecoding server selected , ( broadcast key is set ) when i click broadcast button, the preview freezes
  2. when changing to RTMP and putting the whole server + key , it starts broadcasting but on livecoding i see just black screen and buzzing noises

nothing is spit in the console as errors

bill-auger commented 8 years ago

the release version wont print anything - perhaps i could make a debug binary for you

the black screen thing maybe a glitch - you may want to try each of ALSA/PULSE/JACK audio - have you tried streaming more than once ? restarting av-caster in between attempts - also the settings do not take effect immediately - after changing any settings you must click the "save" button then close and restart the program at least once before using the new settings

did you install all of the packages i noted above? what is your output if you run this command -->

gst-launch-1.0 --version

i have tried installing fedora from two different isos but i have not yet been able to get either of them to boot - i tried also ScientificLinux but it looks like fedora and openSUSE are currently the only rpm based distros with gstreamer 1.6 available - im going to try installing openSUSE next but as for fedora i may need to find some alternate install method so i can test this on fedora myself

chazzbg commented 8 years ago

yes , i've restarted the application.

╭─dilkov@InixWeb: ~ ‹php v5.6.15› ╰─○ gst-launch-0.10 --version gst-launch-0.10 version 0.10.36 GStreamer 0.10.36 http://download.fedoraproject.org

now I tried again, it broadcasted once. the results are kind of inconsistent sometimes it broadcasts , sometimes it won't ...

does the error when closing the app can do any impact on the next launch ?

(av-caster:14390): GStreamer-CRITICAL *: gst_object_unref: assertion '((GObject ) object)->ref_count > 0' failed

(av-caster:14390): GStreamer-CRITICAL *: gst_object_unref: assertion '((GObject ) object)->ref_count > 0' failed

bill-auger commented 8 years ago

nope those errors are just a small memory leak but are not a critical problem - it seems that your main issue is that you have gstreamer 0.10 installed - gstreamer 0.10 is very old and deprecated - you could try uninstalling all gstreamer* packages and replacing with their gstreamer1* replacements - i would be hoping to see "GStreamer 1.6.1"

the rpm package should have pulled in the newer versions but it will not delete the old ones - they are technically different libraries - normally they can co-exist but maybe your system is mixing them up

chazzbg commented 8 years ago

i've done it. but the problem does not seem linked to that. i appears that when i set PULSE for audio source - it can't broadcast on alsa - broadcast with no sound JACK - av-caster does not start at all

this may be will eliminate the problem with setting livecoding.tv as broadcast destination, that i said earlier.

additionaly i've noticed that when i change the broadcast destination ( file, rtmp server, livecoding.tv ) it resets all settings

bill-auger commented 8 years ago

as for the sound this depends if you have pulse or jack installed - alsa is the most standard - i suspect if you mess around in alsamixer you just need to enable your mic as the capture source

so what is your output now from this command -->

gst-launch-1.0 --version
chazzbg commented 8 years ago

i was always thinking that for the last 4-5 years, pulse became primary choice. and, i'm currently on my office descktop, and i don't have mic

╰─○ gst-launch-1.0 --version gst-launch-1.0 version 1.6.1 GStreamer 1.6.1

bill-auger commented 8 years ago

ok thats better - if youre still having issues tho were gonna have to get you a debugging version or i will need to get fedora installed somehow to see if i can reporduce your issue - do you have some spare disk space ? you could install one of the distros it is know to work on like debian, arch, or ubuntu - that could at least determine if your hardware is compatible - do you have another PC at home you could try it on ? either with fedora or whatever

sry i cant be more helpful now as this app is very new and you are the first one to have issues on fedora so there is little common experience yet to draw from

bill-auger commented 8 years ago

the latest version has more fine grained selection of media elements and verbose debugging
