beta doesn't build

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install dependencies
2. from newversion_beta, run python setup.py install --prefix=${MY_INSTALL_DIR}

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Instead of building and installing, I get this:
running install
running build
running build_ext
building 'pyffmpeg' extension
C compiler: gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -O2 -g -pipe -Wall 
-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector 
--param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic -D_GNU_SOURCE -fPIC -fPIC

compile options: '-I/opt/ffmpeg/include -I/usr/include/ffmpeg -I./include 
-I/opt/lisa/os/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy/core/include 
-I/usr/include/python2.5 -c'

Sorry, I shall update the beta source package,

The bugfix is easy, in setup.py replace
 + [pythonlib]
by 
 + (pythonlib,)

I will update the beta source package soon.

• Changed state: Started
• Added labels: Priority-High
• Removed labels: Priority-Medium

[GoogleCodeExporter]

but the 
+ [pythonlib]
is part of distutils, not pyffmpeg. I think the bug must be in the formatting 
of the arguments that pyffmpeg passes to distutil's setup function.

You're right. I am sorry it has already been fixed in my source tree.

I just haven't uploaded the new package yet.
If you want you get the latest source tree by cloning my github
and by checking out the "beta" branch :

git clone "http://github.com/tranx/pyffmpeg.git/" || exit -1
cd pyffmpeg
git checkout origin/beta

I got an error or maybe just warning message for the last command:
$git checkout origin/beta
Note: moving to "origin/beta" which isn't a local branch
If you want to create a new branch from this checkout, you may do so
(now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:
  git checkout -b <new_branch_name>
HEAD is now at a74ad7e... Unabled truncated file support.

I'm not quite sure what that means, but I still get the same result if I run 
setup.py/

Try, to see the possibles branches

git branch

If there is a "beta" branch, switch to it

git checkout beta

Else, it is likely that you are already on the good branch especially the 
status fit with  some change, I added this morning. So you may try to build the 
package.

Sorry for all these troubles.

Actually the bugfix was indicated in issue 18,

Ok, the bugfix should consists in changing the line 

libs = ('avformat', 'avcodec', 'avutil', 'swscale')

into

libs = ['avformat', 'avcodec', 'avutil', 'swscale']

in setup.py.
