Bug: 2.4.x not compiling with ffmpeg 7
Observed Behavior
error during make wyn.txt
Expected behaviour
creating binary
Steps to reproduce
- Install lot of dependencies - cmake doest not suggest what to install so the BUILDING.md is incomplete
- cmake ../src
- make -j8
Environment
Tested on Linux Mint and Ubuntu latest - arm64 and MacOS Apple Silicon inside ubuntu in docker container
It looks like your system is using ffmpeg 7 which introduced some breaking changes. This is fixed in master, which I suppose would be reasonable to backport to 2.4.1
I should point out that we generally only recommend using the LTS versions of ubuntu, those are what we test with.
Install lot of dependencies - cmake doest not suggest what to install so the BUILDING.md is incomplete
What did you need to install that wasn't documented?
Thanks for reply. Let me point out things one by one. Well, I should mention that I tested it on LTS as well. Build was failing even on ffmpeg6 , then I tested on ffmpeg built from source that was 7 you right , I did not notice that maybe because Macports still uses version 6 :( and I was so frustrated that I wanted to write Caspar from scratch.
Haven’t checked that on Linux but on MacOS ffmpeg 6 so probably also 7 installs his corresponding headers in /opt/local/libexec/ffmpeg6/include instead of /opt/local/include - I don’t know the reason but it must taken into considerations when using as dependency.
I cannot tell you at the moment what was missing , I would have to repeat whole process. Whenever I did make command there was always something missing like even OpenGL, GLX, SFMTL. The system version of ffmpeg install different set of dependencies that your installation script inside source code. Cmake is weird conf system e.g. in Macports it install python as dependency which is really not necessary. Also my concern is that your script downloading code that uses boost library but the code is copyrighted in 2001! 23 years is a lot of time. I currently have difficulties to analyze and correct code because Visual Studio Code does not respect searchPaths for includes :(
The binary version from Ubuntu crashes on Mint - why? They are both based on Debian.
I think 2 years ago I wanted macOS version and only one person wanted to help me with this, sad. So I am going to work on CasparCg using MGL project or to create it just in Metal. Unless you do mind because licensing.
Cheers

Strange, we are running builds in ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 in github actions, using solely system dependencies to ensure that it remains building successfully on those. As well as one on ubuntu 22.04 which uses our packaged dependencies The script we use for the system one is https://github.com/CasparCG/server/blob/d37b9d0a2f01ee475c4d9503e19145cc90827e3d/.github/workflows/linux-system.yml#L23-L48 and you can see a successful run from it last week https://github.com/CasparCG/server/actions/runs/11076901193/job/30780996777 so it should work locally too. I can't speak for mint though.
Haven’t checked that on Linux but on MacOS ffmpeg 6 so probably also 7 installs his corresponding headers in /opt/local/libexec/ffmpeg6/include instead of /opt/local/include - I don’t know the reason but it must taken into considerations when using as dependency.
Both of those paths are rather non standard for linux, so they sound like a macos 'quirk', that as we don't support macos don't handle currently. I don't have a problem with supporting other paths, but don't know where that should fit into the cmake config
I cannot tell you at the moment what was missing , I would have to repeat whole process. Whenever I did make command there was always something missing like even OpenGL, GLX, SFMTL.
Strange, I can't explain this assuming you were using ubuntu/mint there.
Also my concern is that your script downloading code that uses boost library but the code is copyrighted in 2001!
The version we use in 2.4 is from 2018, but it is likely that some of the copyright notices haven't been updated.
For reference, I am intentionally using an older version, matching the oldest version of ubuntu that we want to support. The intention is to minimise the risk of using 'new' features that won't be available on the older ubuntu versions. Tbh this is probably overly cautious, but also there hasn't been a reason to update it. It is newer in master, matching the version used in ubuntu 22.04
I think 2 years ago I wanted macOS version and only one person wanted to help me with this, sad. So I am going to work on CasparCg using MGL project or to create it just in Metal. Unless you do mind because licensing.
Personally, I don't mind the idea of having some code in this repository to make it buildable/usable on macos. But I am hesitant to accept an implementation using metal.
I agree with the prior comments that a macos implementation is something extra that we would have to maintain, with little evidence that it is beneficial to do so. So as long as the implementation is minimally invasive, then I am open to including it. For reference, I think the differences between linux and windows is a different cmake file, a few different cpp files, and a handful of ifdefs.
And I can't guarantee that it will get the same level of effort from me in keeping it working/building, I will try but with a lower threshold for giving up than for windows/linux, but if the implementation is as isolated as windows/linux are today, then it shouldn't break often, if ever.

I forgot to reply to this part, its going to be some library version mismatch. The zip files are too agressive at what they include, (see https://github.com/CasparCG/server/issues/1532) but including less means requiring some packages to be manually installed on the system. Tbh at the moment I am really tempted to stop producing those ubuntu zips, the ci for them has been broken for a bit anyway (failing on uploading for some reason)

@Julusian maybe some day you will accept my CEF patches, so that my builds can live in your repo 😃
Give me some time for that, I will test your builds.

so unable to test builds on debian. specs.zip
Build from launchpad.net/~casparcg/+archive/ubuntu/ppa repository was added but casparcg-server-2.4 has no installation candidate, apt update does nothing so I guess this is repository not for docker builds.
Its not a case of docker, but I haven't made any arm64 builds, which is what your m2 mac will be looking for.
I suspect it wouldn't even run though, because macos doesn't support the version of opengl we need. But perhaps there is some docker tooling that will run some metal translation layer that could be used. Either way, it logs when it fails to initialise opengl, and that happens much later in startup, after a bunch of logging has already happened.
So both apps coredumped
This is 'normal' behaviour when it tries and fails to find a config file, could that be what you are hitting?
so unable to test builds on debian.
tbh I didn't know that debian had any support for ppas, those are a very ubuntu convention. Its complaining something about gpg keys, no clue what to do with that tbh.

I thought default config is shipped with installer as it is in binary shipped as gzip. I had problems when config file was corrupted or perhaps something was wrong in XML syntax but with default config it should run and I assumed core dump was because of OPenGL not the config so I don't know.
I don't know either that PPA is convention of Ubuntu. Since Ubuntu uses same deb system like Debian I assumed it should work apparently it's not.
I have launched latest Ubuntu LTS in UTM - Caspar probably not run anyway but at least I could do arm64 build for Linux.

Annying that casparcg does not accept any standard flag like -v --version --help -h so I don't know how to give it path. I launched it in directory where casparcg.config is located and behavior is the same.

How are you launching the server remotely? Via ssh? If so, make sure you export the DISPLAY variable.
ChatGPT suggest --noconsole option is for server in headless mode without GUI my observation suggest it is true. Surprising you ask me about that now and not right after I posted :) Yes via ssh but on remote server - first I tried ssx -X and launch server on my side but that won't work because OpenGL. ( I was able to compile mesa with Zink driver but cannot force system to use it)

LOL at ChatGPT... Sorry, I've missed the first time you've mentioned the --noconsole option. The only option Server supports is the path to the casparcg.config file. There is an outstanding issue (see #1571) that prevents the server from properly reporting command-line errors.
Yes via ssh but on remote server - first I tried ssx -X and launch server on my side but that won't work because OpenGL. ( I was able to compile mesa with Zink driver but cannot force system to use it)
Try sshing into the remote machine without the -X option. Then run DISPLAY=:0 casparcg-server.

LOL at ChatGPT... Sorry, I've missed the first time you've mentioned the --noconsole option. The only option Server supports is the path to the casparcg.config file. There is an outstanding issue (see #1571 https://github.com/CasparCG/server/issues/1571) that prevents the server from properly reporting command-line errors.
Yes via ssh but on remote server - first I tried ssx -X and launch server on my side but that won't work because OpenGL. ( I was able to compile mesa with Zink driver but cannot force system to use it)
Try sshing into the remote machine without the -X option. Then run DISPLAY=:0 casparcg-server.

I don't have direct access (e.g. via VNC) to GUI environment so I don't know how the casparcg could run even with DIsplay set to :0 very confusing. I have GUI on Ubuntu 24.04 in UTM but that does not solve a thing since it is launched on Silicon.
I don't know - just write on your webpage Caspar is not running on anything other than Ubuntu and problem solved. I give up - no proper error reporting makes it a no go for me.
Now I have to collect mana to rewrite Caspar for Metal and delete all Ubuntu/Windows dependency.

Besides every server app should have headless mode whatever you called it. ChatGPT did not take that info from nowhere.

If I search stackoverflow for casparcg, it comes back with 13 results. So anything chatgpt thinks it knows about casparcg from there is unlikely to have much accuracy.

I don't know what you expect from a headless mode here tbh. Seeing as the server is a command line application, it already is pretty headless. But it does require a X server, which is unavoidable if you want to be able to use html templates. And when I lasted looked a few years ago, getting a gpu handle without x was still patchy at best and inconsistent vendor support. This is probably better by now, but seeing as html support still needs it, I don't see the point in changing that.
Only supporting ubuntu is noted in the readme https://github.com/casparcg/server?tab=readme-ov-file#linux
And it is entirely possible to run on other distros, but it might require recompiling. I run it on fedora, and I know there is an arch package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/casparcg-server
I gave up but could not sleep so I spent few hours fighting with Ubuntu and digging through various wrong answer on Internet and I finally did it. So this is summary:
- Ocular fork of Ubuntu is painfully slow on virtual machine difficult even to install so I threw it out.
- I installed 22.04 server ubuntu ARM64 using qemu in UTM.
- I don't know if UTM did some magic or it is me who once compiled natively Gallium Zink drivers Mesa and virglrenderer, but glxinfo shows me that I have OpenGL 4.5 in Ubuntu!
- lxde sucks and lightdm constantly creating problems searching for XSessions called ubuntu that was not there. I used Mate2 GUI and modified .dmrc to set default session and it worked.
- Attached files. casparcg_server_aarch64-arm64.zip
Additional note: I used ffmpeg6 and option for use system ffmpeg, not sure how with 7 Ubuntu was not shipped with that version I think. Also I had to turn off CEF library completely, for some reasons it is not compatible with ARM64 architecture and that creates problem during linking.
It looks like you got to the end of this, so I don't think there is any need to keep this open?
Regarding CEF not working, we don't officially support arm64, so the build tooling will be trying to use an x64 instead of an arm64 binary of CEF. It might be as simple as making these two lines dynamic https://github.com/CasparCG/server/blob/fb7836f43e7f699053385fee8eff0cf3444f6d2a/src/CMakeModules/Bootstrap_Linux.cmake#L76-L77, if someone opens a PR to do that it will be accepted. (I can handle making an arm64 system package once it is known to be useful)
