theora dev - Aug 2004 - Building theora

Hello,

I'm trying to get theora built. However there is not a page listing what
depdencies there are.  Would it be possible to have a developers page
with the point release tarballs etc? (There is subversion access, but
I do not have subversion for my OS).

I could not find libtheora release, only an alpha,  this wasn't very
clear, it has been released now I think.

The libogg and libvorbis I managed to pickout from:
http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/download/

So I have:

libogg-1.1.tar.gz  libtheora-1.0alpha3.tar.bz2  libvorbis-1.0.tar.gz

However I get this error:

if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I../include     -I/usr/include/SDL
-D_REENTRANT -MT encoder_example.o -MD -MP -MF
".deps/encoder_example.Tpo" \
   -c -o encoder_example.o `test -f 'encoder_example.c' || echo
'./'`encoder_example.c; \
then mv -f ".deps/encoder_example.Tpo"
".deps/encoder_example.Po"; \
else rm -f ".deps/encoder_example.Tpo"; exit 1; \
fi
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc  -I/usr/include/SDL -D_REENTRANT   -o

encoder_example.o(.text+0x1b19): undefined reference to
`vorbis_granule_time'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [encoder_example] Error 1


 From the README I can see that I "need libvorbis and libvorbisenc from
the 1.0.1 release or later."  However, there is not a 1.0.1 tarball in
the http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/download/ directory..  does anyone
have a link for me please?

Kind regards

JG

Yes. What happened is we froze the bitstream at what the alpha 3 encoder 
produces, so that's the release to use. We haven't made the first beta 
release yet.

Yes, you need 1.0.1. It's hiding on vorbis.com:

  http://www.vorbis.com/files/1.0.1/unix/libvorbis-1.0.1.tar.gz

I'll clean up the links, if our webmaster team doesn't get to it first.

Cheers,

I ran into difficulty trying to follow J. Grant's lead in building theora
with
libogg-1.1.tar.gz, libvorbis-1.0.1.tar.gz, and libtheora-1.0alpha3.tar.gz.  
The problem occurred while building libvorbis-1.0.1.  J. Grant discovered 
that the cause of the problem was that I had downloaded all three files into 
a directory named "theora files."  The space in that directory name
was the
problem.  Renaming that directory to "theorafiles" solved it.  

I also had the link error with libvorbis-1.0.1 examples, and worked around it 
by commenting out the line 
LDFLAGS = -all-static
from libvorbis-1.0.1/examples/Makefile.

Also, while building libtheora-1.0alpha3, I got an error, unable to 
find /usr/lib/libogg.la and my workaround for that was to copy libogg.la 
from /usr/local/lib into /usr/lib.
