Provide package that can be built with ./configure #16

Closed ericoporto closed 3 years ago

ericoporto commented 3 years ago

The libtheora package here is different from the one in the downloads section of xiph : https://downloads.xiph.org/releases/theora/libtheora-1.1.1.tar.bz2

This one can be built with ./configure while the tags here cannot. Is it possible to upload proper tar ball?

To build straight from the repository you need to run ./autogen.sh to create the configure script and associated files.

ericoporto commented 3 years ago

Thanks! I used it and passed arguments I used to pass to ./configure and it worked. Before using autogen it kept asking about SDL1 and I didn't want to depend on it since I am using SDL2 but it worked without errors using ./autogen.sh.

I had to migrate to GitHub because Xiph upgraded the TLS config on their servers and my pipeline uses Debian Jessie which has an old curl/openssl that is not compatible with the recent TLS change.

rillian commented 3 years ago

Glad you got it working.

We did indeed raise the minimum TLS level. Sorry for the inconvenience. You could always build your own curl/openssl packages if you need to maintain systems that old. It's just another couple of pipeline steps!

Thanks! I will look into it, it was a bit less trivial then I thought it would building openssl and curl, so for now I moved to using GitHub tar ball until I can figure out how to do it. I am closing since I got the information I needed. :)
