ISSUE 1

Firstly, any way around this? -

FFmpeg (or LibAv on debian/ubuntu) seems to be missing.

I do have ffmpeg installed:

~ >> ffmpeg -version
ffmpeg version 6.0-tessus  https://evermeet.cx/ffmpeg/  Copyright (c) 2000-2023 the FFmpeg developers

libswresample   4. 10.100 /  4. 10.100
libpostproc    57.  1.100 / 57.  1.100

Is this a wrong version?

ISSUE 2

Secondly, I then do a python3 waf -v and get this error:

Broken revdeps detected on {
	{task 140253724090264: cxxprogram gtest-all.cc.1.o,test_audioloader.cpp.1.o,test_composite.cpp.1.o,test_connectors.cpp.1.o,test_copy.cpp.1.o,test_fileoutput.cpp.1.o,test_main.cpp.1.o,test_math.cpp.1.o,test_network.cpp.1.o,test_networkparser.cpp.1.o,test_parameter.cpp.1.o,test_peak.cpp.1.o,test_pool.cpp.1.o,test_scheduler.cpp.1.o,test_stringutil.cpp.1.o,test_treetraversal.cpp.1.o,test_vectorinput.cpp.1.o,test_vectoroutput.cpp.1.o -> basetest}}

These errors seem to mostly be like this:

In file included from ../test/src/basetest/test_audioloader.cpp:20:
In file included from ../test/src/basetest/essentia_gtest.h:23:

../version:1:1: error: expected unqualified-id

Any idea as to how to work around these?

Seems related to

• cannot install essentia on MacOS M1 #32
• cannot install essentia on MacOs #30

@dgoldenberg-audiomack for 1, that version of ffmpeg is wrong; essentia uses [email protected]

I don't think this issue is related to the other two, since this is an error from a manual build and those two relate to failures in the homebrew formula build. However, I think this will still be "solved" by the PR i linked, since you should be able to install as expected from the updated formula.

@Amar1729 Any update on this ?

[Amar1729]

@bhargavajs07 I'm not a maintainer, so no update from me. you can use my PR directly if you need (either follow instructions for switching to a PR's branch from GitHub, or re-tap from my fork).
