ffmpeg --HEAD fails due to --enable-vda

[damonmaria]

Please always follow these steps:

• Confirmed this is a problem with brew installing one, specific Homebrew/homebrew-core formula (not cask or tap) and not every time you run brew?
• Ran brew update and retried your prior step?
• Ran brew doctor, fixed all issues and retried your prior step?
• Ran brew gist-logs ffmpeg gist

What you were trying to do (and why):

install ffmpeg HEAD so I could submit a bug report to them

What happened (include command output):

==> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/ffmpeg/HEAD-6f15f1c --enable-shared --enable-pthreads --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-hardcoded-tables --enable-a
Last 15 lines from /Users/damon/Library/Logs/Homebrew/ffmpeg/01.configure:
--enable-libmp3lame
--enable-libx264
--enable-libxvid
--enable-opencl
--enable-videotoolbox
--disable-lzma
--enable-vda

ERROR: vda requested, but not all dependencies are satisfied: vda_framework pthreads

If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest
version from Git.  If the latest version fails, report the problem to the
ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.freenode.net.
Include the log file "ffbuild/config.log" produced by configure as this will help
solve the problem.

What you expected to happen

ffmpeg to compile

Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running brew install commands)

$ brew install ffmpeg --with-fdk-aac --with-tools --with-freetype --with-libass --with-libvorbis --with-libvpx --with-x265 --HEAD

The above is what I used in this instance but the same error happens without any --with options. As long as you specify --HEAD.

Workaround

I then re-installed with -vd: brew install -vd ffmpeg --with-fdk-aac --with-tools --with-freetype --with-libass --with-libvorbis --with-libvpx --with-x265 --HEAD

It failed at the same point:

/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Homebrew/build.rb (Formulary::FormulaLoader): loading /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core/Formula/python.rb
/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Homebrew/debrew.rb:11:in `raise'
BuildError: Failed executing: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/ffmpeg/HEAD-6f15f1c --enable-shared --enable-pthreads --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-hardcoded-tables --enable-avresample --cc=clang --host-cflags= --host-ldflags= --enable-libass --enable-libfdk-aac --enable-libfreetype --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libx264 --enable-libx265 --enable-libxvid --enable-opencl --enable-videotoolbox --disable-lzma --enable-nonfree --enable-vda

Went into shell and re-ran configure without the --enable-vda option:

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/ffmpeg/HEAD-6f15f1c --enable-shared --enable-pthreads --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-hardcoded-tables --enable-avresample --cc=clang --host-cflags= --host-ldflags= --enable-libass --enable-libfdk-aac --enable-libfreetype --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libx264 --enable-libx265 --enable-libxvid --enable-opencl --enable-videotoolbox --disable-lzma --enable-nonfree

That worked. Exited shell, chose ignore, brew carried on and installed ffmpeg:

Same issue. VDA is deprecated since 10.11

Edit: Created a PR (#18575)
Edit2: Lol “it does not affect stable version”
