• ffmpeg build fails with gcc error even with gcc installed (C compiler test failed)

  15 mars 2023, par Martin

  I am on macos 11.2.3, trying to build ffmpeg in my terminal. When I run my script sh buildffmpeg.sh which is below :

  


  #!/bin/bash

# If you get error `c compiler failed` run `sudo apt install libglfw3-dev libglew-dev`
# apt-get install build-essential
# apt-get build-dep ffmpeg
# when running this on mac, you need to install some libraries such as 'brew install opus'

  It fails with this error :

gcc is unable to create an executable file.
C compiler test failed.

If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest
version from Git.  If the latest version fails, report the problem to the
ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.freenode.net.
Include the log file "ffbuild/config.log" produced by configure as this will help
solve the problem.


  


  I have been trying to solve this error, and have installed gcc with brew, if i run gcc -v I can see my installed gcc version :

  


  $ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.

  So if gcc is installed correctly (i think) why is it failing with a gcc error when I build ffmpeg ?

• Revision 7ab9a9587b : Remove Wextra warnings from vp9_sad.c As a side-effect, the max_sad check is re

   Modify /vp9/encoder/vp9_variance.h

  
  
  Remove Wextra warnings from vp9_sad.c

  As a side-effect, the max_sad check is removed from the
  C-implementation of VP8, for consistency with VP9, and to
  ensure that the SAD tests common to VP8/VP9 pass.
  That will make the VP8 C implementation of sad a little slower
  but given that is rarely used in practice, the impact will be
  minimal.

• FFMPEG not working from Python subprocess.Popen but works from command line

  21 novembre 2017, par Stuart Clarke

  I’m trying to run a FFMPEG script from within python 3.5.2. the FFMPEG command runs fine from the command line but fails within the python script.

  The function I use to execute the FFMPEG command is

  def ffmpeg(args):
  
      err = None
  
      command = [
  
          ffmpegcmd, '-y',
  
          '-loglevel', loglevel
  
      ] + args
  
      print("\n\n\n")
  
      print(command)
  
      print("\n\n\n")
  
      print(" ".join(command))
  
      ffmpeg = subprocess.Popen(command, stderr=subprocess.PIPE ,stdout=subprocess.PIPE, universal_newlines=True)
  
      while err == None:
  
          out, err = ffmpeg.communicate()
  
          time.sleep(1)
  
      if err and loglevel=='fatal':
  
          print(" ".join(command))
  
          raise Exception(err)
  
      print(err)

  The value for args is :

  ['-i', '/var/www/temp/film.mp4', '-vf', 'scale=1920:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1920:1080:x=(1920-iw)/2:y=(1080-ih)/2:color=black', '/var/www/temp/videoHD.mp4']

  such that the resultant command being passed to subprocess.Popen is :

  ['ffmpeg', '-y', '-loglevel', 'verbose', '-i', '/var/www/temp/film.mp4', '-vf', 'scale=1920:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1920:1080:x=(1920-iw)/2:y=(1080-ih)/2:color=black', '/var/www/temp/videoHD.mp4']

  The value of loglevel is verbose only for troubleshooting but is intended to run as fatal. There are also some print commands only in place for troubleshooting.

  The reason for wanting to increase the resolution is so that it can be combined later with higher resolution videos.

  The result when running from within python is :

  This results in a file with no content.

  When I run the command from the command line I need to add single quotes around the -vf video filters scale=1920:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1920:1080:x=(1920-iw)/2:y=(1080-ih)/2:color=black so the whole command becomes :

  ffmpeg -y -loglevel verbose -i /var/www/temp/film.mp4 -vf 'scale=1920:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1920:1080:x=(1920-iw)/2:y=(1080-ih)/2:color=black' /var/www/temp/videoHD.mp4

  Running this command gives the required result.

  and the resulting video is fine.

  Any ideas ?

  Edit

  It was suggested that I use a new function to do much the same thing. So I added the following function and used it for the command that I’m having trouble with :

  def ffmpegPro(args):
  
      err = None
  
      for i, arg in enumerate(args):
  
          if(" " in arg or "(" in arg or "[" in arg):
  
              args[i] = "\"" + arg + "\""
  
      command = [
  
          ffmpegcmd, '-y',
  
          '-loglevel', loglevel
  
      ] + args
  
      commandStr = " ".join(command)
  
      print("\n\n\n")
  
      print(command)
  
      print("\n\n\n")
  
      print(commandStr)
  
      ffmpeg = subprocess.Popen(commandStr, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, universal_newlines=True, shell=True)
  
      while err == None:
  
          out, err = ffmpeg.communicate()
  
          time.sleep(1)
  
      if ffmpeg.returncode == 0 and all([os.path.exists(f) for f in (videoStorage['data_small'], videoStorage['data_big'])]):
  
          print("Job done.")
  
      else:
  
          print("ERROR")
  
          print(err)

  The resulting command can now be used in python or at the command line without needing to be changed at all. The command is :

  ffmpeg -y -loglevel verbose -i /var/www/temp/film.mp4 -vf "scale=1920:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1920:1080:x=(1920-iw)/2:y=(1080-ih)/2:color=black" /var/www/temp/videoHD.mp4

  The result when executed in python is

  Note the Killed at the end. Is this significant and why is it only happening when executed in the script ?

  Here is the output from the command line which results in a successful video file.

  Any more ideas why this is being handled differently in python as opposed to the command line ?

  I’m believe this is a version issue and that is why the below answer did not work for me, things were fine before I upgraded but since then a lot of things have been playing up. I upgraded both ffmpeg and python versions and don’t really want to go back if it can be avoided.

  Thanks,

  Stu
