I am having the same problem as well.  It appears that there is a file missing
from the source tree, postprocess_altivec_template.c.  I have searched my system
for it and it cannot be found.

------- Comment #3 From Draeven 2005-11-03 07:49:11 0000 ------- 
I have also tried turning off the "cpudetection" USE flag to see if that would
fix the problem, but alas it does not.  It seems that there is some sort of
problem with renaming the file "postprocess_template.c" when called based on
architecture.  Here is a snippet of code that applies to the altivec section
from postprocess.c:

Lines 628-636

#ifdef ARCH_POWERPC
#ifdef COMPILE_ALTIVEC
#undef RENAME
#define HAVE_ALTIVEC
#define RENAME(a) a ## _altivec
#include "postprocess_altivec_template.c"
#include "postprocess_template.c"
#endif
#endif //ARCH_POWERPC

I'm wondering if taking out the #include "postprocess_altivec_template.c" line
would fix the problem.  I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a heavy C coder,
so I'm not sure.  I'm going to give it a whirl and see what happens.

Created an attachment (id=72027) [details]
Proposed patch for gst-plugins-ffmpeg-0.8.6

Ok, I've patched postprocess.c with the attached patch.  I was able to get to
compile fairly cleanly, the only problem I had when it finished was:

ERROR: Caught a segmentation fault while loading plugin file:
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/libgstvideotestsrc.so

Please either:
- remove it and restart.
- run with --gst-disable-segtrap and debug.

I don't know if this is critical or not, but it is merged into my world file at
this time.

Created an attachment (id=72029) [details]
Proposed patch for gst-plugins-ffmpeg-0.8.6

First patch didn't include path info and would fail, this is the correct patch.


Sorry for the mixup.

------- Comment #6 From gad.kadosh@gmail.com 2005-11-03 13:12:02 0000 ------- 
draeven, the segmentation fault is a problem caused by liboil which does not
work well with ppc right now. The devs know about this however, I hope it will
be fixed soon.
see:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110486
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109270

------- Comment #7 From Draeven 2005-11-03 19:25:12 0000 ------- 
With that being said, and that segmentation fault being a liboil issue, is this
patch a viable workaround or is it more or less just a lucky hack on my part?

If it is a viable workaround, can it be included in the next ebuild?

I'm just more or less curious at this point, as I am just starting to learn C.

Thanks,

Draeven

gst-plugins-ffmpeg-0.8.7 compiles fine on ppc, and I think it works too - I'm
not sure how to specifically test it though. Once 0.8.7 is in portage I guess it
should be marked ~ppc while 0.8.6 should be -ppc.

------- Comment #9 From Zaheer Abbas Merali (RETIRED) 2005-11-27 06:29:56 0000 ------- 
ok fixed
