x264 link's under linux (debian)

[msm_007]

Hi all,
PLZ, have you links of x264 under linux (debian 4.0)
I found a lot of links but I couldn't download any one of them

--------------
Thx a lot, MSM

It's easier just to compile it yourself.

cg clone git://git.videolan.org/x264.git
cd x264
./configure
make
sudo make install

cg (short for cogito) is debian's name for what the rest of linux planet (afaik) calls git
debian uses this name to avoid confusion with GNU Interactive Tools

you can't get yasm through the package repository as it's too old of a version, going to need to compile it from source as well.

I can give you a static x86 binary without mp4 support: http://users.telenet.be/darnley/x264/x264.bz2
It works here, but I don't say it will anywhere else.

Cogito (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cogito_(software)) is a deprecated git frontend. Main git tools are in the git-core package.

If you are looking for git, Linus Torvald's content tracker, install
the cogito and git-core packages and see README.Debian and git(7).


debian's behind most of the linux world.. why it's still using the old naming (at least on my box).
there's an option to have git be git (the repository)... but it's not default.

It's not very hard to make your nightly builds play nicely with apt-- this should work fine on debian if you have the build dependencies, as well as checkinstall, (and maybe change git to cg).

This generates .deb files, installs them, and places them in ~/debs/

remake.sh:

#!/bin/sh
git pull
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --enable-visualize
make
V="9:git-r`git rev-list HEAD | wc -l`"
R=`date +%Y%m%d`
sudo checkinstall -D --pkgname=x264 --fstrans=no --pakdir "$HOME/debs" \
--maintainer "$USER" --pkgversion "$V" --pkgrelease "$R" \
--backup=no --deldoc=yes --deldesc=yes --delspec=yes --default
sudo chown "$USER":"$USER" ~/debs/x264_"$V-$R"_i386.deb
make clean

I'm just saying that they are separate projects and cg is not a changed or old name for the git tool (although they do have a similar feature set). The git-core package in etch is a bit old (because etch has already been around for a while) and that's why there is no "git" binary that is used in the same way as CVS and Subversion, but instead you can run git-clone, git-pull etc. Cogito is no longer packaged in lenny and sid.
