Handbrake for Haiku

Forum thread started by vidrep on Wed, 2015-04-15 20:44

Is there any possibility of getting Handbrake, which was originally a BeOS application working on Haiku? When I visited the Handbrake forum, I came across this post by kallisti5, where he had apparently made an attempt at a Haiku build. What, if anything became of this?

HandBrake for Haiku

Here are the steps I have to far towards compiling HandBrake under Haiku...

I got to libass... but ran out of gas for now. I am not really sure how the contrib patch system in Handbrake works... but a lot of these fixes might be automated.

This is all gcc4, gcc2 isn't worth trying.

HandBrake is available in haikuports and I've just updated it to 0.10.1.
The steps above are not needed anymore as there are packages and recipes ready for them.
I had to build a few deps first tho, namely:

  • faac _x86, libass_x86, libmpeg2_x86, libmp4v2_x86 and libmkv_x86.

Of course it would be nice to have them all available in HaikuDepot.

This is good news. Since I installed a CD/DVD drive into my Haiku box to test BurnitNow2 I might as well try Handbrake.

Thanks!

Diver,
You just made my day. I'm guessing some significant additions or changes will be needed to get it to the point where it is available in HaikuDepot for testing. Did you build it from source, or have you been in contact with the current development team about a Haiku version?
My understanding is that Eric Petit is no longer involved, and the current versions are all forks. Can you keep us updated in this thread?

The resulting package contains HandBreake_CLI tool, so it has no GUI yet. Therefore, it's not very useful I think. I built it from source.

that is a very old post, but IIRC Handbrake does have a QT4 GUI available, which means haiku can get a working QT handbrake GUI, today.
