net-misc/guacamole-server cannot emerge because of freerdp and ffmpeg

[vieridipaola]

Hi,

I can't install guacamole-server because it requires freerdp 3.9.0 which is failing because of ffmpeg (I have 8.0.1 on my system).

/var/tmp/portage/net-misc/freerdp-3.9.0/work/freerdp-3.9.0/libfreerdp/codec/dsp_ffmpeg.c: In function ‘ffmpeg_open_context’:
/var/tmp/portage/net-misc/freerdp-3.9.0/work/freerdp-3.9.0/libfreerdp/codec/dsp_ffmpeg.c:259:53: error: ‘FF_PROFILE_AAC_MAIN’ undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean ‘AV_PROFILE_AAC_MAIN’?
259 | context->context->profile = FF_PROFILE_AAC_MAIN;
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| AV_PROFILE_AAC_MAIN

/var/tmp/portage/net-misc/freerdp-3.9.0/work/freerdp-3.9.0/libfreerdp/codec/h264_ffmpeg.c: In function ‘libavcodec_destroy_encoder’:
/var/tmp/portage/net-misc/freerdp-3.9.0/work/freerdp-3.9.0/libfreerdp/codec/h264_ffmpeg.c:105:17: error: implicit declaration of function ‘avcodec_close’; did you mean ‘avcodec_license’? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

Please take a look at https://bugs.gentoo.org/754147.

Thanks

Yes, I'm aware of the problem with ffmpeg. The issue with using that version of FreeRDP is that with newer versions, the connection drops when you try to send a file. I'd have to test if the same problem exists with the latest versions of FreeRDP, but I'm a bit overwhelmed right now and would need to run some tests.

If I can, I'll do them this weekend. Alternatively, you can force the use of the newer version of FreeRDP and then recompile guacamole-server using emerge --nodeps to prevent it from creating dependencies.
