[gephex-user] compiling and ffmpeg troubles

[Ricardo Filipe Soares Garcia da Silva]

Hello Martin

I just used the main darcs 0.4 version. I downloaded the soure code
using:

	darcs get http://darcs.gephex.org/gephex/gephex--main--0.4

and as for ffmpeg I took the svn code with:

	svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg 

With these sources, the compilation went as reported in the previous
e-mail, resulting in the compilation of gephex version 0.4.5

Hope this is useful. Also I'd like to ask you if it is currently
possible to build deb packages for gephex. If so, could you please post
a brief description of the process? thanks in advance
