Commercial detector http://www.kaashoek.com/comskip/
Commercials are marked and skipped using associated projects.
- FFmpeg with headers and shared libraries (2.4+)
- libargtable2 for option parsing
- Optional: SDL for building the Comskip GUI
Building directly from GitHub also requires GNU autotools (autoconf, automake, and libtool).
$ git clone git://github.com/erikkaashoek/Comskip
$ cd Comskip
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ tar zxpfv comskip-<version>.tar.gz
$ cd comskip-<version>
$ ./configure
$ make
There are many ways to setup a build system on Windows. These instructions use MSYS2 and MinGW-w64, but other environments should also work:
- Install MSYS2 by following the instructions at https://msys2.github.io/
- Install the essential build tools:
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-gcc autoconf automake libtool pkgconfig yasm - Close the MSYS2 shell and launch a MinGW-w64 shell; this is the shell you'll use for all builds
- Build FFmpeg (http://ffmpeg.org/), argtable2 (http://argtable.sourceforge.net/) and SDL2 from source and install them to /usr/local
- Add /usr/local/lib/pkg-config to PKG_CONFIG_PATH (e.g., add
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfigto ~/.bashrc, then typesource ~/.bashrc)
First install Xcode (freely available from the Mac OS X App Store). After it's installed, install the Xcode command-line tools by executing xcode-select --install from a terminal.
The easiest way to install Comskip's dependencies is via Homebrew (http://brew.sh/):
$ brew install autoconf automake libtool pkgconfig argtable ffmpeg sdl
Macports natively compiles all libraries from source. The project etv-comskip has an example Makefile using Macports tools.
$ sudo port install ffmpeg coreutils argtable
$ apt-get install -y autoconf libtool git build-essential libargtable2-dev libavformat-dev libsdl1.2-dev
$ apt-get install -y git build-essential libargtable2-dev libavformat-ffmpeg-dev libsdl1.2-dev
$ add-apt-repository -y ppa:mc3man/trusty-media
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install -y git build-essential libargtable2-dev libsdl1.2-dev
$ apt-get install -y ffmpeg libva-dev libsoxr-dev libvorbis-dev libbz2-dev zlib1g-dev libxvidcore-dev libvpx-dev libx264-dev libx265-dev libspeex-dev libfdk-aac-dev libvorbisenc2 libopus-dev libmp3lame-dev libdca-dev libfaac-dev libopencore-amrnb-dev libvo-aacenc-dev libopencore-amrwb-dev

You can build a static binary by passing the --enable-static parameter to configure, but beware the following caveats:
-
True static linking on Mac OS X is not supported by Apple. Do not use the
--enable-staticdirective on OS X. Rather, use the script matryoshka-name-tool to use OS X'sinstall_name_toolto modify the comskip binary and create a directory of shared libraries that may be distributed to users without homebrew or Macports installations. The project etv-comskip has an example Makefile using matryoshka-name-tool. -
Some libraries have incomplete or incorrect dependencies listed in their pkgconfig files. If static linking fails on your system, you'll need to override these by manually specifying the
argtable2_LIBS,ffmpeg_LIBS, andsdl_LIBSenvironment variables with the required list of libraries and their locations.
