Unable to install avconv/libav

avconv, configure, libav, libavcodec, macos

Solution

I had the same error as you. You need to install gnutls.

I found a how-to here : https://gist.github.com/morgant/1753095

This complete list of commands worked for me (OSX 10.6) :

cd ~/Desktop
mkdir wget-build
cd wget-build
curl -O ftp://ftp.gmplib.org/pub/gmp-5.0.2/gmp-5.0.2.tar.bz2
tar xjf gmp-5.0.2.tar.bz2
pushd gmp-5.0.2
CC=gcc-4.2 CXX=g++4.2 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
sudo make install
popd
curl -O http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/archive/nettle-2.4.tar.gz
tar xzf nettle-2.4.tar.gz
pushd nettle-2.4
CFLAGS="-m64" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-assembler
make
sudo make install
popd
curl -O http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnutls/gnutls-2.12.12.tar.bz2
tar xjf gnutls-2.12.12.tar.bz2
pushd gnutls-2.12.12
CFLAGS="-m64" CXXFLAGS="-m64" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --without-p11-kit
make
sudo make install
popd

You could also try to use Brew (http://brew.sh/) and install gnutls via :

 brew install gnutls

Finally a third way that worked for me :

curl -O http://libav.org/releases/libav-10.1.tar.gz
tar xjf libav-10.1.tar.gz
cd libav-10.1
./configure
make install

Enjoy !

Problem

I'm having no luck install libav on OS X Mavericks. Ive tried everything. I'm following this guide: http://earthwithsun.com/questions/568464/install-latest-libav-avconv-on-osx After doing the macport dependency check, which passes, I then run ``` ./configure \ --enable-gpl --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid \ --enable-version3 --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb \ --enable-nonfree --enable-libfaac \ --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libspeex --enable-libvorbis --enable-libtheora --enable-libvpx \ --enable-libopenjpeg --enable-libfreetype --enable-doc --enable-gnutls --enable-shared ``` This fails with the following error: ``` Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1 Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1 Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1 Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1 Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1 ERROR: gnutls not found 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 libav-tools@libav.org mailing list or IRC #libav on irc.freenode.net. Include the log file "config.log" produced by configure as this will help solving the problem. ``` ERROR: gnutls not found I've added the path to header files in the environment before running configure, but still no luck ``` export CFLAGS="-I/opt/local/include -L/opt/local/lib" export CXXFLAGS="-I/opt/local/include -L/opt/local/lib" ``` Can anyone help?
