The same issue i'm getting here when compiling chromium with ffmpeg from svn:

Uh, just got here from google, seems like its not the best place to report this
issue.. Anyway :).

Was fixed in r311 .

Status: Fixed

From redf35097 on June 14, 2010 06:33:30

getting this same error when trying to build zoneminder 1.24.2. pulled the latest ffmpeg source June 14th 2010 well after this issue was suppose to be resolved.

I'm also getting it in r23634 .

/usr/local/include/libavutil/common.h: In function ‘int32_t av_clipl_int32(int64_t)’:
/usr/local/include/libavutil/common.h:154: error: ‘UINT64_C’ was not declared in this scope

This should be fixed in our build system no matter what version of ffmpeg you're using. If you're still getting it, run configure like so:
CFLAGS=-D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS ./configure
and your problems should go away. This applies to other C++ programs using ffmpeg as well and not just to ffms2, but I can't guarantee that other programs won't break if you define that macro (they really shouldn't, though).

Clarification (since this is apparently a common problem and shows up pretty high in google searches): it should be CXXFLAGS, not CFLAGS.

From apzc2529 on September 15, 2010 18:23:44

Thank you! CXXFLAGS=-D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS works!

From shekatsu8er on November 01, 2010 09:09:39

What about adding this:
#ifdef __cplusplus
#define __STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS
#ifdef _STDINT_H
#undef _STDINT_H
#endif

include <stdint.h>

#endif

to the common.h code?

From kalle.blomster on November 04, 2010 03:32:46

I think you're in the wrong project, bro.

From mrtux.hdb on November 07, 2010 10:11:19

adding this before #include <libav....>
#ifndef INT64_C
#define INT64_C(c) (c ## LL)
#define UINT64_C(c) (c ## ULL)
#endif

Stop posting in this issue, it's been worked around in our build system for ages. Go complain at the ffmpeg fags if you want it fixed there (hint: they won't do shit).

From asmith5152 on November 08, 2010 01:50:35

Their (ffmpeg fags) solution is to move to x86_64.

From luca.barbato on December 27, 2010 10:56:51

Complain with the C++ Standard.

PS: be grateful we do not put int class; struct new; in the public headers just for fun.

Can someone offer some help here:

I'm still getting this error, even after typing "CXXFLAGS=-D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS ./configure" at the command line. I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 (natty) and openCV 2.3.1.

the make output looks like:

I've also seen here ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/opencv/+bug/685500 ) that C++ Applications including FFmpeg Headers need to define
__STDC_LIMIT_MACROS before including libavutil headers. After the above recommendation didn't work (CXXFLAGS...) I defined __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS as TRUE in the CMakeLists.txt but still get the same error when doing a make.

any help is much appreciated, and thanks in advance,

Walt

From kalle.blomster on October 22, 2011 20:53:27

you're on the wrong bugtracker, bro

From walt.j.white on October 23, 2011 05:09:25

Kalle, can you point to a location where this is solved? Looks like several other posts here are regarding this exact topic. If you know of a more appropriate location to discuss this, how about including a link to it.

When I using the "work around" in the build system I still get the same problem stated above... if ffmpeg guys aren't doing anything to fix this, it looks like there is an opportunity (and need) to clarify the solution to make this work correctly, and this looks like the right location to do that.

thanks in advance,
Walt

The unfortunate fact that this bug report shows up near the top of search results for queries like "ffmpeg UINT64_C not defined" does not make it "the right location" to ask questions about a vaguely related problem with a similar error message that appears in a completely unrelated software package.

Just in case it wasn't clear, let me point out that this is not the opencv issue tracker. It is not the ffmpeg issue tracker, either. It is the issue tracker for the library known as ffmpegsource (or ffms2), and the purpose of it is to track bugs and other issues in that library, and that library only. Your issue, on the other hand, does not have anything to do with ffmpegsource, and prior to your post I had never heard about the library you are having problems with. I cannot solve your issue for you, nor am I in any better position to find a solution elsewhere than you are.

All of that being said, I can at least give you one general hint. Your problem is almost certainly caused by __STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS not being defined at the point in the build process where libavutil/common.h tries to #include <stdint.h>. Find a way to make it defined at that point and your problem will most likely go away. Since I have no experience whatsoever with the library you are attempting to build and very little experience with its build system, I have no suggestions on how to accomplish that.

This is as far as I can help you; now go forth and seek help elsewhere.
