libquicktime @1.2.4: error: no member named 'luma_elim_threshold' in 'struct AVCodecContext'

[schumann.frank@…]

installing libquicktime does not build. I can not find something in the main.log mentioned (attached). I have tried sudo port clean libquicktime with no success.

Not sure how you didn’t find anything in the log. There is plenty.

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

The errors shown here are due to changes in the ffmpeg API since this version of the port was released. The issue has been resolved for some time in the upstream repo (see libquicktime-devel) but there has been no further numbered release. Since there has been no progress on this issue since some time in 2012, it might make more sense to formally replace libquicktime with libquicktime-devel. I believe most other ports that depend on this library now use libquicktime-devel instead.

See also #40464 which has an untested patch for the issue.
