I am trying to build ffmpeg for windows (Xp - SP2) as given here.
./configure -–extra-cflags=”-mno-cygwin -mms-bitfields” -–extra-ldflags=”-Wl, -add-stdcall-alias” -–enable-memalign-hack -–enable-shared -–disable-static -–target-os=mingw32
The above command is placed in a myconfig file as instructed and when i run ./myconfig, the following error is displayed:
Broken Shell detected. Trying alternatives.
Trying Shell bash
Unknown option "-–extra-cflags=-mno-cygwin".
As suggested in the link i tried various options but still i was not able to succeed.
My environment is Win XP with:
MinGW-5.1.6,
bash-2.05b-MSYS,
MSYS-1.0.10,
ffmpeg-0.5
EDIT:
After certain changes in the above command by referring howto i was able to successfully run the make command and i found the following DLL's in their respective directory
ffmpeg\libavcodec\avcodec-51.dll
ffmpeg\libavformat\avformat-51.dll
ffmpeg\libavutil\avutil-49.dll
But i didn't see any ffmpeg\ffmpeg.exe file :(
What could have gone wrong?
Possibly off topic, but I wrote a
script for Cygwin
to do this.
Ramiro's FFmpeg for Windows site gives much better step by step instructions, and has a community forum that you can ask questions on if the Wiki doesn't answer your question already.
Finally I succeeded to build ffmpeg on windows with this blog http://www.finalmediaplayer.com/source.html
You may also want to add lame and x264 to your build.
Extract the tar to /ffmpeg/libraries
./configure --prefix=/ffmpeg/olibs --enable-static --disable-shared
make
make install
Additionals libraries:
FAAC http://downloads.sourceforge.net/faac/faac-1.28.tar.gz
FDK-AAC http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencore-amr/files/fdk-aac/fdk-aac-0.1.1.tar.gz/download
Reconfigure your ffmpeg again with the options: --enable-libx264 --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libfaac --enable-libfdk-aac

I am trying to use wget to download a file under a different local name and only download if the file on the server is newer.
What I thought I could do was use the -O option of wget so as to be able to choose the name of the downloaded file, as in:
wget http://example.com/weird-name -O local-name
and combine that with the -N option that doesn't download anything except if the timestamp is newer on the server. For reasons explained in the comments below, wget refuses to combine both flags:
WARNING: timestamping does nothing in combination with -O. See the manual
for details.
Any ideas on succinct work-arounds ?
Download it, then create a link
wget -N example.com/weird-name
ln weird-name local-name
After that you can run wget -N and it will work as expected:
Only download if newer
If a new file is downloaded it will be accessible from either name, without
costing you extra drive space
If using other tool is possible in your case, I recommend the free, open source lwp-mirror:
lwp-mirror [-options] <url> <file>
It works just as you wish, with no workarounds.
This command is provided by the libwww-perl package on Ubuntu and Debian among other places.
Note that lwp-mirror doesn't support all of wget's other features. For example, it doesn't allow you to set a User Agent for the request like wget does.
Can any one suggest a command to download the package from the interent in the solaris box?
Thanks in advance.
See https://stackoverflow.com/a/14584664/141978 from RaamEE:
The wget command in Solaris 10 is somewhat hidden from sight.
You can find it here
/usr/sfw/bin/wget
This was checked on s10u10
Then use /usr/sfw/bin/wget <url>
It's hard to tell as you provide few information but wget is a common tool to retrieve things from the Internet.
wget http://server/package.zip
If a Solaris package, pkgadd also supports URLs:
pkgadd -d http://server/package.pkg
I once needed to get wget installed on old remote Solaris 8 server (there is no /usr/sfw/ on Solaris 8).
So, after some web surfing, I did the following:
Downloaded wget-1.10.2-sol8-sparc-local.gz from http://download.nust.na/pub3/solaris/sparc/5.8/ to my Windows machine (where I always have 7-Zip installed)
Extracted wget-1.10.2-sol8-sparc-local.gz
Uploaded resulting package wget-1.10.2-sol8-sparc-local into Solaris server
Under root user executed pkgadd -d wget-1.10.2-sol8-sparc-local
Right away you can start using it as wget <URL>.
I am using Ubuntu 12.04. I have installed doxygen 1.8.3.1 using make install.
I would like to uninstall the doxygen built by make, but I don't find any way to do it using make (uninstall or clean...).
In the Makefile there is no reference to uninstall it the software. :(
Unfortunately I can't use the sudo apt-get remove doxygen because it wasn't an installed. :(
I don't find anything related on the internet.
Can anyone help me, please?
Thank you in advance,
Fabiola
There is no "uninstall" target. You need to do a "rm" be hand. If you used the standard prefix path "/usr/local" then
rm /usr/local/bin/doxygen
rm /usr/local/man/man.1/doxygen.1
(more if you install the docs are wizard). Depend on the user used for install, you need sudo to do it.
I know this question is old, but since it is the first result in google I would like to share another way of uninstalling Doxygen built from source. In the build directory where you've ran make there should by a file name install_manifest.txt. That file contains paths to files that were installed using make install command. All you need to do is to run the following command:
sudo xargs rm < install_manifest.txt
Of course this assumes that you've kept the build directory or at least the install_manifest.txt file. If not you need to remove the files by hand as somebody already suggested.
I know about services like Online Font Converter, but I am interested in offline solution, preferably over command line. Does anyone know a tool or workflow how to convert WOFF to OTF/TTF offline?
I wrote a simple tool for that:
https://github.com/hanikesn/woff2otf
Currently only tested with ttf files.
Here is the reference code for making WOFF files: http://people.mozilla.org/~jkew/woff/ I have a mirror: https://github.com/samboy/WOFF
To compile and install, make sure you have the zlib development libraries installed (e.g. in CentOS6 yum -y install zlib-devel as root), then
git clone https://github.com/samboy/WOFF
cd WOFF
make
Then, as root:
cp sfnt2woff /usr/local/bin
Once this is done, to make a webfont, enter the directory with the .ttf file, then run sfnt2woff
sfnt2woff Chortle2014f.ttf
This creates a Chortle2014f.woff webfont file. Replace “Chortle2014f.ttf” with the name of the actual webfont to convert.
The first link I provide has Windows and MacOS binaries for people who do not wish to install a compiler.
Here is the reference code for making WOFF2 files: https://github.com/google/woff2 Note that this code will not install in CentOS6, but compiles and installs just fine in CentOS7:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/google/woff2.git
cd woff2
make clean all
woff2 font generation is similar:
woff2_compress Chortle2014f.ttf
I didn't like the fact that the current best answer is a Python script, and there also appear to be cases of people saying it doesn't work. In addition, none of the current answers seem to make mention of compiling WOFF converters with the zopfli compression algorithm, which is superior to the standard zlib algorithm that other tools use. For these reasons I decided to go the "proper" (i.e. non-script) route and add my own answer in the process.
Note: the compilation process for both of the below utilities is very easy, and made even easier by simply copying and running the snippets of code I've provided below, but they do still require a working compiler. If you haven't compiled software from source before, you may need to setup a compiler environment first. If you're using Cygwin, you can follow the first part of my answer here to set up the MinGW-w64 cross-compiler.
WOFF CLI converter (with ZOPFLI compression)
First, compile and install sfnt2woff1 by pasting all of the following into a terminal and pressing Enter:
git clone https://github.com/bramstein/sfnt2woff-zopfli.git woff &&
cd woff &&
make &&
chmod 755 woff2sfnt-zopfli sfnt2woff-zopfli &&
mv woff2sfnt-zopfli sfnt2woff-zopfli /usr/local/bin &&
rm -rf ../woff
Once the tool has been compiled and installed, convert a TTF or OTF file to WOFF by running:
sfnt2woff-zopfli <inputfile>.ttf
You can also use the -n option to increase the number of iterations the program is run in, increasing compression at the cost of conversion time (the default number of iterations is 15).
To convert all files in the current directory to WOFF:
for i in *; \
do sfnt2woff-zopfli.exe "$i"; \
done
WOFF2 CLI converter (with Brotli compression)
First, compile and install Google's woff2 tools by pasting all of the following into a terminal and pressing Enter:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/google/woff2.git &&
cd woff2 &&
make clean all &&
mv woff2_compress woff2_decompress woff2_info /usr/local/bin &&
rm -rf ../woff2
Once the tool has been compiled and installed, convert a single TTF or OTF file to WOFF2 by running:
woff2_compress.exe <inputfile>.ttf
To convert all files in the current directory to WOFF2:
for i in *; \
do woff2_compress.exe "$i"; \
done
You can even convert a WOFF2 file back to TTF or OTF:
woff2_decompress.exe <inputfile>.woff2
1 Note that SFNT here refers to the SFNT table format that both TTF and OTF font formats are built around.
Ive been looking for this too but, sorry i couldn't find an offline one but i found this:
http://orionevent.comxa.com/woff2otf.html - no longer available
its really good
EDIT: Found a command line tool
https://superuser.com/questions/192146/converting-from-woffweb-open-font-format
I used the python script linked above by
barethon to write an online javascript converter of WOFF to OTF
I realise this thread has been inactive for some time now, but with the help of a few stackoverflow users, I was able to use the above mentioned python script [woff2otf.py by #hanikesn] to create a workflow allowing batch conversion of woff files.
If not for the original poster's use, then for others who come across this thread in search of the same thing, check out my thread for details on how to do this:
Modify Python Script to Batch Convert all "WOFF" Files in Directory
Even if you don't need to batch convert, onlinefontconverter.com produces unreliable results, and everythingfonts.com has a 0.4 MB limit on conversions unless you upgrade to a paid account, and both are needlessly time consuming compared to offline solutions.
Good luck!
EverythingFonts has an online tool that appears to work well.
If you wish to do it offline, following Erik Tjernlund's answer on Super User, you can downloaded the source and compile executables of woff2sfnt and sfnt2woff.
The latest version as of this writing was from 2009/09/09. Unfortunately I've discovered that it doesn't appear to work for all WOFF files, sometimes complaining of a bad signature and sometimes simply giving a broken OTF file.
On a Mac with Homebrew it's simpler than the other mentioned approaches.
.woff2 to .ttf
brew install woff2
woff2_decompress somefont.woff2
This will leave you with somefont.ttf in the same directory.
.woff to .ttf
Converting WOFF (not woff2) is a little trickier, woff2_decompress probably won't handle it. You would first want to convert the .woff file to .woff2, then use the woff2_decompress command to turn that into .ttf file.
There's a brew tap that can be used to install sfnt2woff, which can be used to convert your .woff to .woff2.
brew tap bramstein/webfonttools;
brew install sfnt2woff;
sfnt2woff somefont.woff;
woff2_decompress somefont.woff2
I'm having the strangest issue while trying to build and install muParser on my windows machine. As suggested by the installation guide, I just cd into the build folder, and run
make -f makefile.mingw
This should be all well and good standard procedure. However, I can't make sense of the output from the command:
if not exist obj\gcc_static_rel mkdir obj\gcc_static_rel
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Users\Chase\Desktop\muparser_v2_0_0\muparser_v2_0_0\build>
Now... at this point, I'm really confused. Because according to the title of the command prompt window, I'm still INSIDE the make command. So, I type "exit" at the "prompt"
g++ -c -o obj\gcc_static_rel\muParser_lib_muParser.o -DNDEBUG -O2 -D_WIN32 - I..\include -MTobj\gcc_static_rel\muParser_lib_muParser.o - MFobj\gcc_static_rel\muParser_lib_muParser.o.d -MD -MP ../src/muParser.cpp
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Users\Chase\Desktop\muparser_v2_0_0\muparser_v2_0_0\build>
The command appears to "step" through it's next function. I continue to type exit at the "prompt" and the command appears to continue stepping until it's done. However, after exiting completely, I can't see any results and it appears nothing's actually been done.
Also, this doesn't have anything to do with the command prompt. I even wrote a python script to cd into the directory and call make, and the output still displayed a windows-style command prompt - complete with the copyright Microsoft line etc., and waited for an input. I typed exit the same way until the process exited back to python.
Now, I might be going insane, but I'm really confused. Asking on the forums yielded no help, the only response is that "the windows build should be working."
Does anyone know what's going on???
I downloaded the muParser package and tried to build it. I got the same strange behaviour from make as you did. Then I realised I only had MSYS-make installed, not MinGW-make (the first one is intended for use in the MSYS shell, the second one for use in the Windows cmd shell).
Unfortunately, installing and using mingw32-make gave a different error, but googling that lead me to this page, where it was suggested to rename sh.exe in the MSYS directory. After doing that, running mingw32-make -f makefile.mingw succesfully built (the static version of) the library.
The other method you and shellter are using of running ./configure; make in the MSYS shell, also fails to build the example for me. It does build the dll version of the library in this case, instead of the static version; perhaps this is why the example fails to build.
(You might want to add a tag for 'make' or 'gmake', that should boost the number of eyes looking at your problem).
Looking at the makefile.mingw, I'm surprised to see statements like '-if not exist ..', that is .bat file syntax.
I ran ./configure ; make and it got past the error messages you mention, but I'm seeing a bunch of error messages like undefined reference to mu::ParserError: , so I'm probably missing libraries to make it work completely. I'll have to leave it at that, and hope that it helps you. Note that I didn't use make -f makefile.mingw. After using configure, make just picked up the newly created Makefile, and it worked (excepting the library problems ;-)
(When you say forums, did you mean the mingw forums? If not, try looking around here. The search functionality is pretty good.)
I hope this helps.
