Avisynth 3.0 for Linux

[Amnon82]

Avisynth 3.0 is in the early development (alpha state). Use it if you can use it ;)

Avisynth 3.0 is a powerful frameserver for Windows and Linux. It aims at editing and processing videos in a non linear manner.

Aviysnth 3.0 is a complete rewrite of Avisynth 2.5, written from scratch by Bidoche (David Pierre). Its advantages compared to Avisynth 2.5 are the following:

* Abstract core layer that allows it to run on Windows and Linux.
* Better cache managing.
* More powerful script langage.
* Some more internal improvements.

On the other hand, the bad news is that the plugins of Avisynth 2.5 are not compatible with the 3.0 version.

Ahhh.. it will be a nice weekend..

[Amnon82]

The bin is not there. If you do a compile or even a deb-file let me know ;) - hate to compile it. atm no time for it.

cya Phil

p.s. I can compile :)

cd ../linux
./booststrap.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

... or not :(

Where do I get aclocal >= 1.7 ?!?

[danpos]

Where do I get aclocal >= 1.7 ?!?

Ubuntu: Synaptic -> search -> automake (there are several options, I did choose 1.8 ;) ).

[Amnon82]

I'm now in contact with d'Oursse, the one how ported AVISynth 3.0 to linux. In couple of days the bin-files will be fixed. Seems I'll start to help him with avisynth 3.0 :)

Here some news:

AutoQ4 will be a linux release using AVISynth 3.0 as base. Stay tuned for the first alpha release ...

[d'Oursse]

no no no, I'm not the lead dev of avisynth 3.0 :D It's Bidoche. I'm the commercial guy and did the linux port, that's all. All the great ideas are from Bidoche.

see http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=75409 for informations about the development.

What I would need are people who know how to create spec and deb files for installing avs3 as a package. ParadoxHeart has already written an ebuild for gentoo.

and of course testers :) I can't test it on all platforms. Right now, avs3 works on my computer (old mandrake, x86) and gentoo (x86 and amd64).

about your error, install autoconf and automake (aclocal comes with the latter).

In addition, I remark that when a autofoo prog is not found, i don't display the correct message. Bug found :D

[mod]

Ready to test on Ubuntu64 Core2Duo :)

[Kurtnoise]

Correct me if I'm wrong, avs 3.0 is not stable, right ?

[d'Oursse]

kurt: no, it's not yet stable. Why ? Did I miss something ? It's not alpha yet. We'll see with Bidoche if we release an alpha with the new parser.

[Kurtnoise]

No you didn't miss something it's because I read on Amnon's blog that's stable.That's why I was surprised. :D

[Sharktooth]

No, Avisynth 3 is not stable at all...

[Lokean]

ParadoxHeart has already written an ebuild for gentoo.
Link please?

[Amnon82]

@d'Oursse & Kurtnoise13: It was my fault. I reedited my blog and my post above. I thougth it was stable. I won't confuse somebody here. I'm happy that there is a port of AVISynth for linux, so I can start developing AutoQ4. ... I think I forgot automake. Hope I can compile it then. Maybe I'll come up with some debs.

@Lokean: ebuilds of Avisynth 3.0 early alpha (pkg_avisynth3-20060702.tar.bz2) (http://www.unite-video.com/phpbb/download.php?id=2009)

@mod: If you did a compile that works, let me know. (maybe step by step) ;)

[Amnon82]

Sorry, it is french. I can't french. It is a simple copy-post-add:

C'est assez basique, mais ça vous permettra de vous faire une idée de l'avancement d'avisynth sans trop de difficultés, enfin noramlement Wink

le tar est à décompresser dans votre PORT_DIR_OVERLAY par defautl /usr/local/portage
si necessaire décommentez la variable de /etc/make.conf

tar -xjvf pkg_avisynth3-20060624.tar.bz2 -C /usr/local

ds /etc/portage/package.keywords rajoutez

media-video/avisynth -*


si vous n'êtes pas en ~x86, il vous faut aussi (resp ~amd64):

dev-libs/boost ~x86
dev-libs/STLport ~x86
media-libs/freetype ~x86
media-libs/fontconfig ~x86
dev-libs/liboil ~x86
media-libs/gstreamer ~x86
media-libs/gst-plugins-base ~x86
media-libs/gst-plugins-good ~x86
media-libs/gst-plugins-bad ~x86
media-libs/gst-plugins-ugly ~x86
media-plugins/gst-plugins-ffmpeg ~x86
media-libs/x264-svn-20060618 ~x86
dev-lang/nasm ~x86
sys-devel/gcc ~x86


ensuite dans /etc/portage/package.use

dev-libs/boost bjam threads threadsonly
media-libs/x264-svn gtk

commencez par installer la dernière version de gcc. n'oubliez pas de switcher votre ancienne version après l'installation d'avisynth, si vous ne désirez plus vous servir de gcc 4 pour compiler le reste de votre system (eselect appartient à gentootoolkit)

emerge -av gcc
eselect compiler list
eselect compiler set i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.1/vanilla

puis compilez les dépendances d'avisynth :

emerge -avD avisynth

normalement tout devrait compiler sauf avisynth.
je vous laisse créer à la main un lien et faire une copy

ln -s /usr/lib/preloadable_libintl.so /usr/lib/libintl.so


et copier ce qui se trouve ds circular_buffer.zip dans /usr/include/boost

cd ~/
wget http://www.iecn.u-nancy.fr/~torri/files/circular_buffer_v3.7.tar.bz2
tar -xjvf cd circular_buffer
cp -R circular_buffer* /usr/include/boost

et enfin

emerge -av avisynth

pour tester
prener un avi ou un mkv et faites un .avs

GstreamerSource("blood.avi",0,0)

lancez avisynth_test et ouvrez votre .avs vous pouvez ensuite voir les informations de la vidéo et sauvegarder en mkv.

J'espère ne rien avoir oublié vu l'heure tardive

edit : petite erreur da,s le script.

Hope it helps you.

I tried to compile the latest cvs on debian unstable and get the following error:
../../src/core/block/block.cpp:36: error: specialization of 'avs::block_<align>::block_(int, bool) [with int align = 16]' after instantiation
../../src/core/block/block.cpp:36: error: invalid function declaration
../../src/core/block/block.cpp:41: error: specialization of 'avs::owned_block<align>::owned_block(const avs::PEnvironment&, int, bool) [with int align = 16]' after instantiation
../../src/core/block/block.cpp:41: error: invalid function declaration
make: *** [core/block/block.o] Error 1

My compile sequence is (using gcc-4.1, autoconf-2.60a):
cvs -q -d:pserver:anonymous@avisynth2.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/avisynth2 co -r avisynth_3_0 avisynth
cd avisynth/build
tar xvjf circular_buffer_v3.7.tar.bz2 # circular buffer patch
cd circular_buffer
sudo cp -R * /usr/include/boost/
sudo chmod -R a+rx /usr/include/boost/circular*
cd ../linux
sh ./bootstrap.sh
./configure --with-stlport-path=/usr \
--with-boost-includedir-path=/usr/include/boost
make

[d'Oursse]

amnon: that ebuild is from another guy. There's a better one.

alec_rebertson: strange. I've tried with g++ 4.1 and I don't remember any problem with it. I'll try again.

edit: It compiles here without problem with g++ 4.1.1. Do you have a 64bits computer ?

[d'Oursse]

amnon82: for circular_buffer, in the doc, you should have read:


cd avisynth/build
tar jxvf circular_buffer_v3.7.tar.bz2
cd circular_buffer
su (give your root password)
cp -R circular_buffer* /usr/local/include/boost-1_33_1/
[ctrl-D] (to return to user mode)


change /usr/local/include/boost-1_33_1/ to /usr/local/include/boost-1_33

For the problem with stlport, it's always the same problems with packagers, who install the files where they want. I'll add some configure options to set the include path of stlport

Thank you for the report.

[Amnon82]

Here's the link for circular_buffer_v3.7.tar.bz2 (http://avisynth2.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/avisynth2/avisynth/build/circular_buffer_v3.7.tar.bz2?revision=1.1.2.3&pathrev=avisynth_3_0)

[Amnon82]

first, the gui will not be built because gtk+ >= 2.8, with -dev packages) is not installed
second, there's an error:

make: *** No rule to make target `sources.inc'. Stop.

but I don't understand it. Verify that, in build/linux/, you have the file sources.inc available

1. Ok, I've to install gtk+ >=2.8 incl dev
2. sources.inc seems to be ok

I rebooted my machine and tried again with a fresh extracted avisynth-3.0.tar.bz2:

I don't know why this happen now, cos in the first try I got until the make install. Now I don't reach that. I'm stuck in "make". So I'm not Jack Bauer, thats why I go to bed now. Hope mod come up with something ;)

[Lokean]

amnon: that ebuild is from another guy. There's a better one.
Where? Could you please find it for me? I would be really interested in trying it out.

[d'Oursse]

It was an ebuild from ParadoxHeart. But I don't see her on irc anymore :/

[d'Oursse]

amnon: Usually, gstreamer is installed in /usr/include. Check if he file gst.h is in /usr/include/gst or not.

[Zep]

Avisynth 3.0 is in the early development (not even alpha). Use it if you can use it ;)

Avisynth 3.0 is a powerful frameserver for Windows and Linux. It aims at editing and processing videos in a non linear manner.


and Mac OSX

IIRC one of the coders is coding on a OSX box.

[Amnon82]

I'll do a clean install of Ubuntu 6.06 right now. After a backup of the partition with partimage I'll play again with compiling AVS3.0 from the scratch.

[d'Oursse]

in fact, we try to use libs (stlport and boost) than work on a lot of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Solaris, *BSD and Mac OS X.
Bidoche is using Windows with a Microsoft compiler, and I use Linux with an old distro.

I tried to compile gstreamer on Mac OS X (with compilefarm on SourceForge), but I had problems. Right now, I only know that avs3 works on Windows and Linux, as I didn't have any report on other platforms.

Sorry if this is a bit OT, but will there by any possibility for an equivalent for LoadPluginEX wrapper for AviSynth 3.0?

In other words, is it technically possible to load plugins written for 2.5 into 3.0?

I know it's way too early to tell, and that 3.0 is nowhere near being actually usable, but I am curious as to how things will work once it's matured a bit. Will plugin developers have to start over from scratch? Will it be easy to adapt existing plugins? Will said wrapper be possible?

Sorry if I'm being speculative or asking foolish questions, but I'm rather curious! AviSynth on Mac OS X would be.... insane.

[d'Oursse]

yes, it is possible. It is not implemented yet. And it will be more difficult than loadpluginex.

[Blue_MiSfit]

Open source amazes me.

Thank you developers for all your hard work! AviSynth blows away the competition.

I get this error, same as alec_robertson's one

I'm running:
- Ubuntu 6.10 i386
- gcc 4.1.1
- kernel smp 2.6.18.2

Edited typos ^

[d'Oursse]

do you have gcc 4.1.0 or 4.1.1 ?
Also, can you try with gcc 4.0.* ?

[Carpo]

i would say to use a 3.x.x version of gcc - as i have heard many ppl say they cant compile stuff using gcc 4.x

has anyone tried this on slackware ?

[d'Oursse]

I've compiled avs3 with g++ 3.3.*, 4.0.(0, 1, 2, 3) and 4.1.1
avs3 will not compile with 3.4.6, iirc (problem with templates)
I also compiled myself these versions of gcc. I do not use packages.

[Amnon82]

Seems I don't get it.

now it is STLport again. Seems Ubuntu 6.06 won't run AVS3.0 or I'm to stupied to compile.

[d'Oursse]

It's my fault: i've modified the check of stlport and try to detect STLport 5.1. You have 2 solutions
1) check out avs3 again (i've corrected the check)
2) install STLport 5.1 RC3

[Amnon82]

I used your CVS-Build you linked me. Btw. what distro do you use?

[d'Oursse]

ha, that's right, I remember. Can't you install cvs ? It should be easy with synaptic

I use an old mandrake 10.0 or 10.1, which now looks more like a LFS :D

[alec_robertson]

do you have gcc 4.1.0 or 4.1.1 ? Also, can you try with gcc 4.0.* ?

Version 4.1.1 gives me the error, but gcc-4.0 (ver 4.0.3) compiles fine.

[d'Oursse]

Then, it's a problem with your version of gcc 4.1.1. I don't know if you are aware of that, but packagers apply sometimes patches to the progs/libs. That may be the source of the problem, if you have installed gcc 4.1.1 with a package manager.

As I said, I compile myself the different versions of gcc that I'm using.

[alec_robertson]

Interesting, I'm using debian unstable's standard gcc-4.1 but this is the first time I've had problems compiling.

[Amnon82]

Well. I installed now openSUSE 10.1. Will try it with Suse ...

[Teegedeck]

(openSUSE 10.2 is scheduled for release on Dec. 7th.)

[Sharktooth]

Ah! I hope my ISP fixes the low SNR im having these days so they can restore my 20Mbits connection so i can get the DVD edition of suse 10.2 without too much headaches and test if AVS3.0 compiles on it.

[Amnon82]

I'll try soon to compile AVS3.0 for my own Paldo-Linux. Fly by on www.paldo.org to get more info about the distribution of my friends and me.

[d'Oursse]

it seems that the bug above is a bug in avisynth which was not found by older compilers that g++ 4.1.1 (inluding this release). Some distro include a patch to notify it. That's why I don't have it. I'll try to fix it.

[dirio49]

Has anybody tried to install in gentoo?
Thanks

BTW, I am trying now will see how it goes.

[ak]

Has anybody tried to install in gentoo?


Yes. But then like whole *nix build system was removed in one CVS commit (IIRC). Makes you wonder is it really worth the hassle yet.

[shevegen]

hey hey hey patience guys ;)

Years back I was unhappy that I had to leave my favourite Windows App (when i switched to Linux).

It was one application which made me curious into "scripting" again :-)

Good code takes time!

[d'Oursse]

I know 2 persons who built avs3 on gentoo (x86 and amd64). I also have an ebuild. I'll add it to the cvs.

If some people are skilled in writing rpm or deb files, I would be glad to add those for avs3 too.

[Sharktooth]

built avs3 on sabayon (gentoo) and works.

[Gusar]

I have a question: Is the dependency on gstreamer fixed, or will we be able to use avs3 without gstreamer at some point in the future?
