Adds -mieee to CFLAGS on alpha
I'd put it directly in the standard mplayer cflags since I expect this issue not gentoo specific, isn't it? Created attachment 73791 [details, diff]
patches mplayer's configure script to add -mieee to alpha CFLAGS
Created attachment 73792 [details, diff]
Patches mplayer's ebuild to apply alpha patch
Submitted bug upstream http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=mplayer-dev-eng&m=113327102802667&w=1 Guillaume Poirier replied and will commit to CVS during the week. A status update... The mplayer devs believe that this segfault is fixed in CVS. However none of them can cite the specific problem that caused the segfault, why adding -mieee fixed the problem, when it was patched, or where the patch is. Unfortunately, I cannot test the CVS version because the CVS version requires a new version of ffmpeg which doesn't compile on my alpha system. Even when passing mplayer's configure script --disable's for all options it still requires ffmpeg. It should be noted that -mieee does cause a performance hit ( around 5% according to http://skarpsey.dyndns.org/alpha-lfs/#mieee ). However, it is either take the 5% performance hit, or live with not being able to listen to mp3s and perhaps other formats that I didn't test. ok, then we must fist fix ffmpeg and then move to a newer mplayer (I told that weeks ago and for a reason or another I couldn't manage to snapshot it properly) I emerged media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20051216 today and built manually the CVS version of mplayer. mp3 playback with today's CVS co of mplayer's code works without crashing on my alpha. I compiled it without the -mieee cflag, so the problem in this bug is indeed fixed in mplayer's CVS. hopefully I'll either provide an updated snapshot or we'll get a new upstream release soon MP3 playback works fine with the new snapshot media-video/mplayer-1.0.20060302. |
