For the record, the processing of Gens submissions is on hold because of technical reasons. I attempted to make a small update to my Gens source code, but it surprisingly didn't compile anymore. The Gnome libraries have changed in some non-backward-compatible way. [Read more] I tried to fix the problem manually, but because it didn't work, I downloaded the most recent release of Gens (rc3) and started reimplementing the patch to that version, which has highly changed from the version Jyzero's patch is based on. But I haven't completed it yet, and until I get another burst of motivation to continue that work, it's on hold and so are all Gens publications from my part.

Why can't you use the old version for encoding movies until this problem is fixed? Will Phil still be able to encode Genesis movies?

Because the attempt to compile a new version deleted the binary of the old version. There is nothing to execute. I can no longer compile the version that used to work for me, for the reasons I wrote in the first post of this thread.

Gah. Well, I guess there is some lesson to learn from this. And the old Gnome libraries aren't available anymore I suppose. If I understood the problem correctly that would help. Noone around who has them?

Maybe available from Gentoo Portage, maybe not. I don't really care.
