Build error (ffmpeg on windows again)

Compiling or Editing the Panda Source
1

here is the build error (with verbose)
Already tried with and without thirdparty folder and both using the included ffmpeg an compiling ffmpeg svn last version with --prefix option:

Is this the latest CVS? Update it to today’s. I’ve checked in some changes the day before yesterday that should get rid of this issue.

3

if last CVS doesn’t work and you can live without ffmpeg simply disable it when running the makepanda script…

4

I can’t live without ffmpeg… sniff.

5

With latest CVS you can just specify --no-swscale (to be certain) and you’ll be sure that it doesn’t try to pick it up.

here is a new error:
python makepanda\makepanda.py --everything --installer --verbose --no-swscale

I think you might have aborted the makepanda build while it was copying the “direct” tree, you can just delete “built/direct” to force makepanda to copy it again on the next build.

I had the same error too. I think there is a problem with the line breaks in direct\showbase\ElementTree.py (on Windows). I replaced all line breaks with standard DOS line breaks, and was able to compile.

9

Same problem.
Already deleted the build folder an made a clean cvs checkout.

Ah, you’re right–there was indeed a problem with the line breaks in this file. Fix committed to CVS.
