[SOLVED] fdkaac.EXE - ¿how to compile it?

filler56789 · 17th December 2014, 17:48

I'm trying to compile nu774's fdkaac.exe with MinGW-w64.
I've already compiled and "installed" the required libfdk-aac thing.
The big question is,
¿where does the stupid ./configure expect to find libfdk-aac?

Code:

checking fdk-aac/aacenc_lib.h usability... no
checking fdk-aac/aacenc_lib.h presence... no
checking for fdk-aac/aacenc_lib.h... no
configure: error: libfdk-aac is required

In your "include" path?

And my "include path" would be where, exactly?

ANSWER:

mingw/i686-w64-mingw32/bin
mingw/i686-w64-mingw32/include
mingw/i686-w64-mingw32/lib

argh

The include path(s), i.e. the directories that the compiler will search for header files, is set by the CPATH environment variable:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/E...Variables.html

It defaults to the subfolder "include" in your MinGW installation directory.

However, instead of messing with your MinGW installation (or modifying CPATH), you probably want add libfdk's "include" directory as an additional include directory via -I compiler option:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/D...ectory-Options

Note that, usually, the ./configure script will accept the "--extra-cflags" parameter to set additional compiler options. So you can do something like:

Code:

./configure --extra-cflags="-I/path_to_libfdkaac/include"

filler56789 · 18th December 2014, 01:50

Thanks for the information. However I must say that... Well, when I managed to compile libfdk-aac, the files were automagically copied to local/bin,
local/include and local/lib. The first folder to where I manually copied the libfdk-aac files was the most obvious choice (to me at least), i.e., /include. And the trick didn't work -_- I only wish that the "./configure --helpS" were a lot more helpful *by default*, because most of them are not, and IMHO it's a big mistake to assume that every user of a compiler is a skilled programmer who will take the time to study the entire source-codes or the compiler documentation -_-

For the time being, I really prefer to tweak my MinGW setup, because it's something I am able to understand and to control =^.^=
And oh BTW, I still have to find out how to make twolame compatible with the recent versions of MinGW-w64, since Nicholas Humfrey still believes Unix and Linux "are ALL that matters" -_-

Kurtnoise · 18th December 2014, 09:03

It's because you mix up MSYS folders within the MinGW ones...not relative to program skills.

Works for me: fdkaac_autobuild.zip

@Kurtnoise: thanks for the tip

— I will try to improve my organizational skills

when I upgrade to GCC 4.9.2
(yes, about time!)

foxyshadis · 20th December 2014, 12:26

If MSYS is too annoying (believe me, I really understand), another option is a linux virtual machine with mingw for cross-compiling. That works wonders for me, and the only reason I ever touch MSYS anymore is to build with VS2013 without creating a MSVC project.

I'm trying to cross-compile an EXE in ubuntu with mingw64. I read the possibility here https://marc.wäckerlin.ch/computer/c...ws-using-mingw

I've downloaded and compiled this: https://github.com/mstorsjo/fdk-aac

Then i attempt to compile this https://github.com/nu774/fdkaac
the windows version but i'm stuck with this error when i try to do ./configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32

configure: error: libfdk-aac is required

1° Is possible to create an EXE in ubuntu in the way I do?
2° Otherwise?

------ edit -------
include folder for ubuntu crosscompiler is in /usr/i686-w64-mingw32 and /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32 for 64bit

martynuzza · 29th January 2019, 13:15

Done myself:

Frontend version 1.0.0
libfdk version 2.0.0

Here is the 32bit exe windows build static:

I was doing listening tests....very disappointed with the coding quality, it is a lot lower than the good old nero aac 1.5.4.0

so much effort for nothing

@ which samplerate, @ which bitrate?!
Please dont spread FUD without facts.
Many come here for learning and maybe take your opinion for granted.
Just use the Qaac encoder and you will be fine.
No more search for obsolete and outdated stuff.

GMJCZP · 30th January 2019, 03:06

I did some tests with Behappy to compare fdkaac 0.6.2 with this version, compressing to CBR 32 Kbps gapless iTunSMPB with the profile MPEG-4 HE-AAC v2 (SBR + PS). Using Paris Latino - Bandolero as sample and subjectively I do not notice difference any.

thanks, but are you use Frontend fdkaac version: v1.0.0 and included libfdk version: v2.0.1 compilier?
