#16137: ffmpeg fails to build on Mac 10.4.11 --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: dklug1234@yahoo.de | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Keywords: | --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- After applying the patch given in the comments to Ticket #16101 ffmpeg still doesn't build (although this patch gets a little further) (G5 PPC, Mac OSX 10.4.11): {{{ $ sudo port install ffmpeg -gpl -lame -theora -faac -faad -x264 -a52 -postproc -avfilter ---> Fetching ffmpeg ---> Verifying checksum(s) for ffmpeg ---> Extracting ffmpeg ---> Configuring ffmpeg ---> Building ffmpeg with target all Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/ macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release _ports_multimedia_ffmpeg/work/trunk" && make all " returned error 2 Command output: make(4251) malloc: *** vm_allocate(size=4272939008) failed (error code=3) make(4251) malloc: *** error: can't allocate region make(4251) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug make: *** virtual memory exhausted. Stop. }}} The reason is a bug in /usr/bin/make (version 3.80) that is fixed in gnu make version 3.81. How do I tell port to use the newer make? I was able to build ffmpeg outside of MacPorts using a newer version of make I have in /usr/local/bin. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16137> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
