hello

i'm about to build Seamonkey 2.53.10. It stops (like the older versions 2.53.3 again) due to an error

struct vpx_svc_ref_frame_config has no member named frame_flags

in the webrtc files. See

With 2.53.3, i used the option disable-webrtc to avoid the problem. Is the problem known to somebody here?

mlh85386: sounds like an obsolete/too new (?) libvpx header

have never compiled SeaMonkey, but I can recognize the symbol

tomman: thanks I'll have a look on the gentoo record

mlh85386: would have been better if you pointed this out when it first occurred, but we can probably figure it out. rporting it against 2.53.10 but saying it has failed for you since 2.53.3 is less useful at this point than if you reported it sooner to when the issue began

wg9s: I tried compiling 2.53.3 recently, a couple of days ago. So the problem was new to me too.

well that is better

spo when it failed you went back to find last working build that is better than what you described

tomman: it is really a version problem. libvpx version 1.9.0 is installed locally, according to the bug report on gentoo <= 1.8.0 would be needed

i thought you meant i am just reporting this but it has not worked since and earlier version but did not bother to ell you. My response was based on my understanding this as being the second scenario.

just remove the system-libvpx statement from the mozconfig.

ah so having a version of libvpx insalled locally might require later code not in SeaMonkey 2.53?

mlh85386: so "too new" is it

typical with multimedia stuff, like ffmpeg and friends

hence why I recognized the symbols

Thanks: removing option with-system-libvpx in mozconfig is what I just did

i have no -with-system- anything in my mozconfig and all works just fine for me.

wg9s: Probably it's better to have not. My fault to try it with some of them. To use components already installed

if it does not build with -wit-system-<lah> then file aboug on your distro

I try to sync all this stuff with mozilla-central as fast as possible but it is a loosing game with so few devs around. So best to either remove --with-system or just help with porting the stuff. There are naturally adavnatges with using the system libriries but unfortunately they change interfaces much too frequently these days.

frg_away: Nevertheless: Thanks for your work and your support

I try ... :)

FFmpeg is a sample case of pure madness, as they don't really believe in a stable API

every minor release breaks something

and until a few years ago, their solution was "don't use point releases, always target git-HEAD"

at least they now do some sort of LTS with every minor release

is GitHub acting all weird again?

all I'm getting are HTTP 500 error pages here since a while

githubstatus.com yup, it's (mostly) down

news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29363169 and it's not me only

remind me why trusting a centralized sourcecode repo was so awesome for the Internet?

tomman seems worse since Microsoft took over

apparently GiggityHub is back now

still... man, remind me why centralization of EVERYTHING is good....

oh wait

it isn't :/

saw tons of people screaming in agony because their build workflows can't work without GitHub... or the Internet in general

it is like people forgot that offline/manual installation of dependencies was a thing

tomman: if it were not a saturday mozilla trees would be closed becuase i don;t think an autoland build will work if github is ddown
