BIF tool on newer linux Distros #50

Open stevezau opened 2 years ago

stevezau commented 2 years ago

Hi,

Is it possible to get biftool complied with libavformat.so.58?

On the latest ubuntu distro libavformat.so.57 is not avi.

also needed this version compiled for new ubuntus, at least for 20.04 (focal)

hi stevezau, if you're still in need of help, I have a workaround that worked for me

@rodrigodalri could you share the workaround?

@rodrigodalri could you share the workaround?

i just copied the libs and symlinks from an older ubuntu to my focal ubuntu (20.04)

bdef commented 1 year ago

as a note to probably future me, here's what worked for past me, in Ubuntu 20.04:

1) add bionic (Ubuntu 18.04) repos to /etc/apt/sources.list by adding these lines: deb http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main deb http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic universe deb http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates universe

2) sudo apt-get update

3) install needed libs sudo apt-get install libavformat57 sudo apt-get install libswscale4

4) remove the lines from /etc/apt/sources.list you added in step 1

5) bif to your heart's content
