git master build with meson fails about mpv-build

[qmega]

Pretty sure I've seen this when trying to do a meson build with waf artifacts left over in the same build dir and there's some sort of conflict/confusion. Try rm -rf build and do the meson stuff fresh.

I always tried meson build in a fresh directory.
In the last 1 week I think I tried 15-20 times, every time in a fresh directory,
hopping it's a temp issue with either build scripts or mpv code (but in this case waf build should also fail)

git clone https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv-build.git mpv-build
cd mpv-build
printf "%s\n" --enable-libx264    >> ffmpeg_options
printf "%s\n" --enable-libx265    >> ffmpeg_options
printf "%s\n" --enable-libmp3lame >> ffmpeg_options
printf "%s\n" --enable-libfdk-aac >> ffmpeg_options
printf "%s\n" --enable-nonfree    >> ffmpeg_options
printf "%s\n" --enable-libvorbis  >> ffmpeg_options
printf "%s\n" --enable-libvpx     >> ffmpeg_options
printf "%s\n" --enable-libopus    >> ffmpeg_options
printf "%s\n" --enable-libtheora  >> ffmpeg_options
printf "%s\n" --enable-libpulse  >> ffmpeg_options
printf "%s\n" --enable-gnutls  >> ffmpeg_options
printf "%s\n" --enable-libcaca  >> ffmpeg_options

printf "%s\n" -Dprefer_static=true  >> mpv_options
printf "%s\n" -Dx11=enabled  >> mpv_options
printf "%s\n" -Dwayland=disabled  >> mpv_options

./rebuild -j12

You shouldn't need prefer-static. That was my dumb mistake in mpv-build and it's not enabled anymore in the latest commit.

[razvaneduard]

without
-Dprefer_static=true
the build complete.

So I shouldn't use prefer-static, right?

[Dudemanguy]

Right, you don't need it unless you really want to statically link absolutely everything possible (which is not the point of mpv-build).

thank you for the help
