yasm minimum version fail

[JonasNielsen]

Building from source fails saying the yasm version is too old:

I'm a bit green with this stuff. Is there anything I can do?

I also noted that yasm is not specified as a dependency in metadata.rb.

Hi @JonasNielsen,

I'm the new maintainer of the ffmpeg cookbook and I hope to get back to you on this issue within the next few weeks...

Kind regards, David

Looks like apt gives an old version. This could be fixed by download and rebuild yasm.

wget http://www.tortall.net/projects/yasm/re … 2.0.tar.gz tar xzvf yasm-1.2.0.tar.gz cd yasm-1.2.0 ./configure make make install # you may need root or sudo

I have done these by following http://forum.adultscriptpro.com/viewtopic.php?id=117&p=3

Hi guys,

the source-recipe now makes use of the yasm-cookbook, which by default upgrades to the latest package. It's possible to compile yasm from source as well, if needed. More information here: yasm cookbook.

Have a great evening!

Kind regards, David

This was still failing since yasm cookbook didn't install from source by default and the ffmpeg coobook does not set the default["yasm"]["install_method"] = "source" in its source recipe.

Hi @allaire,

it's up to the actual DevOp/implementation to decide where to install yasm from - just set the install_method attribute to 'source' in your setup (environment / role attribute) and it will work like a treat.

Do let me know if you have any further questions!

Kind regards, David
