Bug 84241 – ffmpeg is not multilib-strict safe

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2005-03-05 14:55:34 UTC]

And the build system is VERY ugly... this is gonna take some time to fix.. =(

[Comment 1 Danny van Dyk (RETIRED) 2005-03-06 07:27:51 UTC]

We should add a sane -fPIC'ization to the list of whishes regarding the ffmpeg
build system. Probably autotool'izing? :-)

[Comment 2 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2005-03-06 13:06:45 UTC]

Yeah, I'm going to try working with upstream to get this autotoolized... I wonder whose idea it was to just use a Makefile with paths hardcoded in everywhere... sigh...

Ooh... I might not need to do so much work afterall... http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=10805307

[Comment 4 Luca Barbato 2005-03-15 14:39:25 UTC]

ffmpeg won't be autotoolized, upstream already rejected that (insane) patch, what's exactly needed?

libdir support

First requirement, make libdir different from an hardcoded $(prefix)/lib

Patch against ffmpeg-0.4.9-p20050226-r1.ebuild

Luca: I like this one better :-P

phi ffmpeg # qpkg -l ffmpeg | grep "/lib64/" | wc -l
17
phi ffmpeg # qpkg -l ffmpeg | grep "/lib/" | wc -l
0

I think ffpeg is multilib-strict safe with this patch and Luca's
patch to configure.

ffmpeg-libdir-pic.patch

The patch.

[Comment 10 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2005-03-17 15:24:14 UTC]

Assigning to chris since he's doing all the work ;p  I'll post an updated ebuild which does static/shared separately as static shouldn't be -fPIC

ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20050226-r1.ebuild

Ok, this one installs static without -fPIC and shared with -fPIC...

new gentoo-ffmpeg patch

With this patch (and the ebuild changed to use it), I'm able to emerge this
with USE=dvd.  The static link of ffmpeg_g needs -la52.
