ffmpeg @3.4: ld: cannot link directly with /System/Library/Frameworks//CoreImage.framework/CoreImage

[fhgwright (Fred Wright)]

The ostensible error is:

ERROR: gnutls not found using pkg-config

But that appears to be bogus:

MacPro:~ fw$ pkg-config --libs gnutls
-L/opt/local/lib -lgnutls

The real error may be:

ld: cannot link directly with /System/Library/Frameworks//CoreImage.framework/CoreImage.  Link against the umbrella framework 'QuartzCore.framework' instead. for architecture x86_64

Attaching both main.log and config.log

Although I originally encountered this on 10.9.5, the lack of binary packages more recent than 3.3.4 on any OSX version suggests that the 3.4 update is completely broken.

I didn't have any trouble on 10.6.8 with either ffmpeg or ffmpeg-devel:

$ sudo port -v installed | grep ffmpeg
  ffmpeg @3.4_0+gpl2 (active) platform='darwin 10' archs='x86_64' date='2017-11-08T21:10:38-0800'
  ffmpeg-devel @20171018_0+gpl2+gpl3+nonfree platform='darwin 10' archs='x86_64' date='2017-10-21T16:13:57-0700'

it also installed on 10.5 Leopard PPC, FWIW:

$ port -v installed ffmpeg
The following ports are currently installed:
  ffmpeg @3.4_0+gpl2+gpl3+nonfree (active) platform='darwin 9' archs='ppc' date='2017-10-20T18:46:03-0700'

No, it only suggests that ffmpeg is not distributable.

Perhaps, but how would it change from distributable to not distributable with no change to the license field in the Portfile? This is *not* the 'nonfree' variant.

In any case, it remains broken (at least on two machines running 10.9.5) after four months.

% ./port_binary_distributable.tcl -v ffmpeg
"ffmpeg" is not distributable because its license "gpl" conflicts with license "EPL-1" of dependency "graphviz"

I booted up my 10.9.5 VM to see what was up, and ffmpeg built right on through with the default options:

$ port -v installed ffmpeg
The following ports are currently installed:
  ffmpeg @3.4.2_0+gpl2 (active) platform='darwin 13' archs='x86_64' date='2018-02-28T23:02:58-0800'

So no doubt you will find that frustrating. I'll post up my build log and config log for you to look at.

look carefully at /usr/local to see if there is anything in there that is confusing your installation. You might consider deleting or moving /usr/local to be sure it's out of the way.

Another place that things get stuck is /Library/Frameworks and you might look in there for anything conflicting.
