Hm you have CHOST powerpc but you are running a ppc64 system.
This, the binutils version (the other one uses 2.18) and that it uses latest SNV of FFmpeg (which should not matter here) are the only relevant differences I can see between you system and the on that is continuously tested: http://fate.ffmpeg.org/powerpc64-linux-gcc-4.3.5/20101016214933

I'm not clear about whether your comment is just a note-to-file or musing as it were, or a statement of what is causing the problem.  My system is a 64 bit kernel with 32 bit userland and I've not changed CHOST from what was initially installed.

Do you need further information from me, or should I be changing some settings, e.g., masking some subsidiary packages ?

Comment 9 Benda Xu gentoo-dev 2010-11-21 04:20:49 UTC
This assembly file is newly introduced after ffmpeg-0.6

http://git.ffmpeg.org/?p=ffmpeg;a=history;f=libavcodec/ppc/fft_altivec_s.S;h=5d3c5406c3186abe4fa0a1edaf8add8af0fb6022;hb=HEAD

It seems that tweaking is needed. I am not familiar with assembly though.

Comment 10 Reimar Döffinger 2010-11-21 10:59:39 UTC
Please find out what is special about your systems, at the very least post your binutils versions.
As you can see here: http://fate.ffmpeg.org FFmpeg compiles and runs just fine on multiple PPC Gentoo systems.
Comment 11 Michael Mounteney 2010-11-21 22:25:32 UTC
The only thing I can think-of that is special about my system is that it is built with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~ppc.  I deliberately avoid doing anything else non-standard or destabilising;  for example, I don't use any overlays.

binutils version is 2.20.1-r1.

Please, if you need further information, ask ASAP because I have stopped using the machine and will be selling it soon.
Comment 12 Reimar Döffinger 2010-11-21 23:08:51 UTC
> binutils version is 2.20.1-r1.

It's 2.18 on the ppc64 machine the tests run.
Maybe someone can test if they have the issue with that version (or in general "stable" binutils) or if it goes away. (I don't have root on the test machine so it would be a pain to test 2.20 myself)

I downgraded binutils to 2.18-r4.  ffmpeg still does not build.  There are several build messages of the form:

Comment 16 Andrew John Hughes 2011-04-11 09:46:04 UTC
Same here on ppc64with 32bitul on both ffmpeg and mplayer-embedded version.
Comment 17 Andrew John Hughes 2011-04-11 09:46:52 UTC
# as --version
GNU assembler (GNU Binutils) 2.21
Comment 18 Andrew John Hughes 2011-08-29 18:42:30 UTC
I can confirm the issue is nothing to do with binutils but the use of 32-bit userland on a 64-bit kernel (common, if not recommended, on ppc).

ffmpeg's configure uses a bare $(uname -m) to determine arch if not set using --arch.  As such, it picks up ppc64 on these systems and defines ARCH_PPC64, which later causes the assembly build to fail.  This is because libavcodec/ppc/asm.S defines the instructions differently if ARCH_PPC64 is set:

#if ARCH_PPC64

#define PTR  .quad
#define lp   ld
#define lpx  ldx
#define stp  std
#define stpu stdu
#define PS   8
#define L(s) JOIN(., s)

.macro extfunc name
    .global X(\name)
    .section .opd, "aw"
X(\name):
    .quad L(\name), .TOC.@tocbase, 0
    .previous
    .type X(\name), STT_FUNC
L(\name):
.endm

.macro movrel rd, sym
    ld      \rd, \sym@got(r2)
.endm

The fix is to explicitly pass --arch on ppc in the ebuild:

    if [[ $(tc-arch) == "ppc" ]]; then
        myconf="${myconf} --arch=$(tc-arch)"
    fi

This won't affect pure 32-bit ppc (as uname -m already returns 'ppc') but will fix the case where uname -m returns ppc64 but tc-arch is ppc.
Comment 19 Reimar Döffinger 2011-08-29 19:55:12 UTC
I sent a patch to autodetect 32 vs. 64 bit as already done on x86:
http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2011-August/114326.html
Testing is welcome, and it should be quite simple to backport this to old FFmpeg versions.
Comment 20 Andrew John Hughes 2011-08-30 08:47:34 UTC
Thanks.  Note that mplayer suffers from the same issue as it includes an in-tree copy of ffmpeg.

The patch works fine with me,now it runs great.:-)
