compilation problems

7 Jun 2005

      dear all,

i had a problem compiling both avidemux and mjpegtools on SuSE Linux 9.2
prof on a pentium 863 Mhz machine. problem looks very similar.

please find below a snippet for avidemux:

...

  make: *** [all] Error 2

i thought that this had to do with mpeg2enc and hence mjpegtools. tried
compiling the latest stable mjpegtools and got a very similar message:
'syntax error before `?' token'.

what i find interesting that there is no message like 'no such file' to
indicate a missing dependency. i suspect a bug or missing CFLAG?

i am now out of ideas and desperate.

please help.
