If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The compiler would need a C flag as the error message suggested. However, this is very old and unmaintained code. The latest libMXF (within bmx) can be found here https://github.com/bbc/bmx/tree/main/deps/libMXF
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Sorry i am new to linux, how do i git clone from the site you linked and then compile it? I am following the installation guide, are there any other new files the the ones in there? Is there a new guide to follow?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
You could clone and build using these steps:
* The "Code" button on the main (bmx) page has the clone link, https://github.com/bbc/bmx.git.
* Run git clone https://github.com/bbc/bmx.git to clone it into the bmx/ directory.
* Install the libMXF dependencies, e.g. sudo apt install uuid-dev if you're on Ubuntu or Debian
* Install cmake, e.g. sudo apt install cmake
* Follow the commands listed here to build libMXF
Follow a similar process if you want to build bmx using the instructions in the [bmx README]https://github.com/bbc/bmx/tree/main
If you happen to want macOS or Windows binaries then they are available in the Releases
There is also a bmxtools Docker image that contains the bmx (and libMXF) tools
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
ok i created bmx folder and downloaded bmx,libmxf,libmxfpp(is that the new libmxf++). I run openSUSE 13.2 what is the command to compile it (sudo apt install uuid-dev and sudo apt install cmake dont work? (i used to enter to each folder and run ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make && make check && sudo make install).

what version of ubundu should i install to build ingex so you will be able to help me please? Also are there any new versions of codecs-for-ffmpeg, ffmpeg-DNxHD and shttpd?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I don't know what Leap is but ffmpeg and the codecs it provides will have had many updates and it looks like from a quick search that shttpd hasn't been updated since 2008.

It looks like your compiler does not support C++11, which is a requirement that is set at https://github.com/bbc/bmx/blob/main/CMakeLists.txt#L37. OpenSUSE 13.2 is from around 2014 and I guess the version of gcc/g++ installed is equally old.
A fix for just libMXF is to change the line in libMXF https://github.com/bbc/bmx/blob/main/deps/libMXF/CMakeLists.txt#L38 to set(CMAKE_C_STANDARD 99), i.e. use c99. Then build using cmake in the deps/libMXF directory because the rest of bmx that uses C++ can't be built without C++11 support.
However, this version of libMXF is a lot newer than the one used in Ingex, is unlikely to be compatible and so won't work if you need it for Ingex.

You could try one of these changes in configure.ac (in order) to see which one enables C99 support
* add "AC_PROG_CC_STDC" after "AC_PROG_CC"
* add "AC_PROG_CC_C99" after "AC_PROG_CC"
* add the option "-std=gnu99" to the end of LIBMXF_CFLAGS=...

It's been 20 years since I used openSUSE. A google search suggests that you can use zypper to install stuff: https://software.opensuse.org/download/package?package=uuid&project=openSUSE%3A13.1 and https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=openSUSE%3A13.2%3AUpdate&package=cmake
The autoconf build is no longer supported and has been replaced with cmake.
what version of ubundu should i install to build ingex so you will be able to help me please? Also are there any new versions of codecs-for-ffmpeg, ffmpeg-DNxHD and shttpd?
Sorry, I can't help with building Ingex.
do you know if there are any new versions of codecs-for-ffmpeg, ffmpeg-DNxHD and shttpd so i can use them with Leap?
I don't know what Leap is but ffmpeg and the codecs it provides will have had many updates and it looks like from a quick search that shttpd hasn't been updated since 2008.
