Help installing DVD Styler

I downloaded the source, extracted it and did:
./configure with this result:

configure: error:
DVDStyler requires mpgtx.
Please check that mpgtx is in path.

So I downloaded the mpgtx source and extracted it and ran ./configure:

./configure
./configure: line 139: test: too many arguments
Checking Large File Support ... PASSED
Generating Makefile ...

Here are the options you choosed :
Target : RELEASE
Large File support : yes
Link statically : no
Support builtin parachute : no
Install prefix : /usr/local

Now Type "make" to build mpgtx (and have a nice day by the way)
root@Pavilion:/mpgtx-1.3# make install
ln -sf mpgtx mpgjoin
ln -sf mpgtx mpgsplit
ln -sf mpgtx mpgcat
ln -sf mpgtx mpginfo
ln -sf mpgtx mpgdemux
ln -sf mpgtx tagmp3
install -d -m 755 /usr/local/bin
install -d -m 755 /usr/local/man/man1
install -s -m 755 mpgtx /usr/local/bin
install: cannot stat `mpgtx': No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1
root@Pavilion:/mpgtx-1.3# make
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm building mpgtx with following options :

Target : RELEASE
Large File support : yes
Link statically : no
Support builtin parachute : no
Install prefix : /usr/local

Type "./configure --help" to see available options.

Why won't it let me install mpgtx? What should I do so I can install mpgtx and then dvd styler? I tried swaret but it didn't find a package.

mpgtx has a static binary on its site. just download, and place it in your path. /user/local/bin i would assume.

Let me try that and get back to you.. that seems alot easier than ./configure, make, make install!

hello,ihave the same problem with suse 9.1
i can`t find that bin file,i am a newbie to linux can you help me out??

no bin is a folder. In KDE do alt-f2 and type kdesu konqueror. This will as you for your password and then get you root permissions in konqueror. Then copy the binary mpgtx (its the executable) and go to /usr/local/bin/ and paste it in that folder. Then it should work fine.

[sutton33us]

sorry,i don`t understand.
on the site i can only download an tar.gz file,if i untar it will i find the executable there? (exe?)

Be patient with me i am just beginning with linux

Yes if you downloaded the static binary you will find a Linux executable. This is not a .exe file. Its probably called mpgtx and has a black icon. Now hit alt-f2 and type kdesu konqueror, and enter your root password. What this does is give you a filebrowser that has all the permissions, so you can modify stuff in /usr/local/bin. Now copy the mpgtx executable into the bin folder in /usr/local/bin/. This will let you run mpgtx and subsequently install programs that require it.

I'm happy to help with your getting started with linux.

[sutton33us]

i now have mpgtx in usr/local/bin but i still cannot ./configure dvdstyler
it still says i do not have mpgtx in my path?

[sutton33us]

I think i got it sorted.
The path isn`t /usr/local/bin but usr/bin in suse linux.
I copied the mpgtx file there and dvd styler did install perfectly.

Thanks for your help!

Yeah, /usr/bin/ also for any Linux distro. You can use either though usually, strange that dvd styler requires it to be there. Anyway I'd be happy to help with other problems you might have, feel free to pm me.

This is how I resolved the link error building mpgtx-1.3 on Slackware 13.37.

After ./configure (with your options), edit the generated Makefile and remove the "-O3" option (no optimization). Save it and run make.

I tried replacing it with "-O2" and "-O1", but the error remained. Removing it allowed it to link.
