#24(FFmpeg:new): Error message needed when enabling drawtext filter without libfreetype
#24: Error message needed when enabling drawtext filter without libfreetype -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: xj25vm | Owner: michael Type: | Status: new enhancement | Component: FFmpeg Priority: normal | Keywords: configure libfreetype drawtext Version: git | filter Blocked By: | Blocking: Reproduced: 0 | Analyzed: 0 -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- It would be really helpful if the configure script would issue an error message when trying to do "--enable-filter=drawtext" without adding "--enable-libfreetype". At the moment, there is no error message, and the drawtext filter doesn't get enabled. The documentation of the drawtext filter does mention then libfreetype is needed - but it would be much more helpful if the configure script would do this check. Otherwise one would have no idea why the filter silently refuses to enable with no error message. -- Ticket URL: <https://ffmpeg.org/trac/ffmpeg/ticket/24> FFmpeg <http://ffmpeg.org> FFmpeg issue tracker

#24: Error message needed when enabling drawtext filter without libfreetype -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: xj25vm | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: closed Priority: normal | Component: build Version: git | system Keywords: libfreetype | Resolution: wontfix drawtext | Blocked By: Blocking: | Reproduced by developer: 0 Analyzed by developer: 0 | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by cehoyos): * keywords: configure libfreetype drawtext filter => libfreetype drawtext * status: open => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: Afaict, this is not how FFmpeg's configure script works: --enable-filter=drawtext normally has no meaning because it is the default (drawtext will be enabled if the dependencies are fulfilled and it was not disabled), but since drawtext depends on an external library (like the flashsv decoder or the matroska demuxer), it will only be compiled if --enable-libfreetype was added as an option. Note that the following works as expected / is needed if you want the drawtext filter: $ ./configure --disable-filters --enable-libfreetype --enable- filter=drawtext -- Ticket URL: <https://ffmpeg.org/trac/ffmpeg/ticket/24#comment:2> FFmpeg <http://ffmpeg.org> FFmpeg issue tracker
