Hi, Failing to build 64-bit ffmpeg - libvmaf not found. I tried deleting the vmaf-git folder, did not help.

Can you try again? I was able to build ffmpeg with latest vmaf repo last night and confirmed it works

[OronDF343]

Updated suite and tried again, still gives same error logs.zip

[woot000]

have you tried deleting the libvmaf.pc file in local64/lib/pkgconfig to trigger a rebuild? it sounds like you have an older version of libvmaf compiled, that might be what's causing the problem

[OronDF343]

Just tried it, no dice. logs.zip

Could it be some issue with the msys2 installation?

[1480c1]

Can you upload the contents of V:/Dev/media-autobuild_suite/local64/include/libvmaf/libvmaf.h?

V:/Dev/media-autobuild_suite/msys64/tmp/ffconf.1Wvw9e9t/test.c: In function 'check_vmaf_init':
V:/Dev/media-autobuild_suite/msys64/tmp/ffconf.1Wvw9e9t/test.c:3:44: error: 'vmaf_init' undeclared (first use in this function)
    3 | long check_vmaf_init(void) { return (long) vmaf_init; }
      |                                            ^~~~~~~~~

says it's undeclared, but it definitely should be there

libvmaf.zip

Could you try making sure V:/Dev/media-autobuild_suite/local64/include/libvmaf.h doesn't exist? Perhaps it's pulling that libvmaf.h before the proper one? Alternatively, could you try a clean build? I have so far managed to successfully build for a while

[OronDF343]

Alright, looks like deleting V:/Dev/media-autobuild_suite/local64/include/libvmaf.h has fixed it. That file was an old version from late 2019 or so.

Thanks for the help!
