SDL2 (port libsdl2) has been stable since August 2013, and FFMPEG supports SDL2 during compilation. It would be great if the dependency could be changed from libsdl to libsdl2. I tested this change locally on OS 10.9.2 and didn’t run into any problem. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43100> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

libsdl2 cannot build without the OS X 10.7 SDK, so switching the ffmpeg ports to libsdl2 would mean they can no longer be built on Mac OS X 10.6, 10.5, or 10.4, which I would consider to be a bad thing.
Agreed. However, perhaps we could add a +sdl2 variant that is only available on 10.7 and up if people really think this is necessary. Does ffmpeg offer additional/improved features using sdl2 or is this just a desire to use the latest version? I'll take a look at it. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43100#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

My main motivation for filing this bug report was a build conflict I got for a project which uses ffmpeg and SDL2. Because ffmpeg links SDL(1), I ended up with SDL and SDL2 being linked at the same time, giving me symbol resolution conflicts. Giving the user an option (+sdl2) sounds reasonable. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43100#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

After looking at ffmpeg's configure, it is apparent that ffmpeg will only configure with libsdl not libsdl2. It checks for sdl.pc using pkg-config or failing that sdl-config. libsdl2 provides sdl2.pc and sdl2-config. Further testing (using current ffmpeg 2.2.1 with libsdl dependency removed) shows * if only libsdl2 is active, ffmpeg does NOT configure the sdl outdev * if only libsdl is active, ffmpeg DOES configure the sdl outdev * if both are installed (they can install in parallel without conflict), ffmpeg configures the sdl outdev using libsdl What's your basis for claiming that ffmpeg supports libsdl2? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43100#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

However, I simply changed the “libsdl” to “libsdl2” in the port files (via “sudo port edit ffmpeg-devel”) and reinstalled ffmpeg-devel after that. Building worked fine, “port installed” does show “libsdl2” and _no_ “libsdl" and “port deps ffmpeg-devel” shows.. {{{ $> port deps ffmpeg-devel Full Name: ffmpeg-devel @20140317_0+gpl2 Build Dependencies: pkgconfig, gmake, texi2html, yasm Library Dependencies: lame, libiconv, libvorbis, libopus, libogg, libtheora, libmodplug, schroedinger, libass, libbluray, gnutls, openjpeg15, fontconfig, freetype, speex, libvpx, libsdl2, bzip2, zlib, XviD, x264 }}} However, otool doesn’t show a dependency to SDL on the ffmpeg binary at all — neither SDL1 nor SDL2!

#43100: ffmpeg, ffmpeg-devel: switch to using SDL2 -----------------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: thomas.c.jansen@… | Owner: devans@… Type: enhancement | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: ffmpeg, ffmpeg-devel | -----------------------------------+---------------------- Comment (by devans@…): libsdl is used to implement the sdl outdev (output device). Per the documentation (${prefix}/share/doc/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-devices.html, Section 4.8) {{{ This output device allows one to show a video stream in an SDL window. To enable this output device you need libsdl installed on your system when configuring your build. }}} When libsdl is installed at build time, it is what lets you play video interactively using ffmpeg or ffplay or programmatically using the libavdevice API. It is the only outdev that is built by default by our ffmpeg port. So from what we both have said above, you have successfully built ffmpeg without this device support (no libsdl or libsdl2). I assume that the project you are working on uses ffmpeg for decoding of video and libsdl2 for display? However, to be sure you are getting what you want, removing the dependency on libsdl is not enough. Other ports that use libsdl can install it behind your back (90+ of these). To prevent building this device whether libsdl is installed or not, it should be explicitly disabled using the configure option {{{ --disable-outdev=sdl }}} I think you have a legitimate situation here so if I gave you a way to disable the sdl outdev, recognizing that it means you won't be able to display videos in a SDL window using ffmpeg or ffplay, would that meet your needs? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43100#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

SDL1 is no longer supported, so I started off my project with SDL2, which then gave me a bunch of runtime link errors (due to duplicate symbols in libsdl and libsl2). That’s why I started naively digging in the ports file. But you are right, any other port that installs libsdl again would link it at run-time, it seems — thanks for pointing that out. The option you are proposing seems to be exactly what I need. I am not interested in the libsdl-based ffmpeg output device, so disabling that explicitly would work. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43100#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
#43100: ffmpeg, ffmpeg-devel: switch to using SDL2 -----------------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: thomas.c.jansen@… | Owner: devans@… Type: enhancement | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: Port: ffmpeg, ffmpeg-devel | -----------------------------------+---------------------- Changes (by devans@…): * status: assigned => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: Status: In addition to the sdl outdev, the bundled utility ffplay also uses libSDL as its output device. However, after applying the following configuration items {{{ --disable-outdev=sdl --disable-ffplay }}} the sdl outdev and ffplay are, indeed, disabled but configure still detects libsdl if it is installed and the various libraries link with it. So it appears that there is no way to definitively disable references to libsdl other than it not being installed. Since we can't guarantee this in MacPorts, I'm afraid there's not much further to be done without some major hacking of the code. I'm attaching my working patch to the current ffmpeg port in case you'd like to play with this yourself on your local port. I also note that a [https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/3604 ticket has been opened upstream requesting SDL2 support]. Closing as won't fix for now. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43100#comment:9> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
