Patch to fix the via XvMC support in ebuild mythtv-0.16.20050115.ebuild
Thanks. In CVS. This fix breaks USE="nvidia -cle266", as the nvidia sed matches also the XvMC_VLD support. It results in the following settings.pro. # XvMC support, modify as necessary. CONFIG += using_xvmc DEFINES += USING_XVMC EXTRA_LIBS += -lXvMCNVIDIA -lXvMC # XvMC_VLD support, modify as necessary. Incompatible with normal XvMC support. CONFIG += using_xvmc using_xvmc_vld DEFINES += USING_XVMC USING_XVMC_VLD ##EXTRA_LIBS += -lviaXvMC -lXvMC Mythtv consequently fails to compile due to xvmc_render.h:13:36: X11/extensions/vldXvMC.h: No such file or directory while compiling vmcvldvideo.c The ! use cle266 case needs to be restored to its previous state. |
SYMPTOMS: Ebuild appears to compile normally, free of errors, but when user attempts to play a recorded program or view live TV, mythfrontend crashes entirely, and returns error messages indicating that it failed to initialize the XvMC control. SCOPE: Affects gentoo users running MythTV on an computer using the Via CLE266 hardware MPEG decoder. Primary users of the Via Epia mini-ITX motherboard family. This one took me a minute to track down, but there is an error in the use of sed to uncomment lines in the file settings.pro (located /var/tmp/portage/mythtv-0.16.20050115/work/mythtv/settings.pro). It should be noted also that the settings.pro included with mythtv-0.16 is non-standard to start with, and not all of the via XvMC lines start out commented out, like they should (to make it like the nvidia XvMC lines). The original calls from the ebuild are (lines 131-140): if use cle266 ; then sed -e 's:#EXTRA_LIBS += -lviaXvMC -lXvMC:EXTRA_LIBS += -lviaXvMC -lXvMC:' \ -i 'settings.pro' || die "enable cle266 sed failed" fi if ! use cle266 ; then sed -e 's:CONFIG += using_xvmc using_xvmc_vld:#CONFIG += using_xvmc using_xvmc_vld:' \ -e 's:DEFINES += USING_XVMC USING_XVMC_VLD:#DEFINES += USING_XVMC USING_XVMC_VLD:' \ -i 'settings.pro' || die "disable VLD XvMC sed failed" fi Should be replaced with: if use cle266 ; then sed -e 's:#CONFIG += using_xvmc using_xvmc_vld:CONFIG += using_xvmc using_xvmc_vld:' \ -e 's:#DEFINES += USING_XVMC USING_XVMC_VLD:DEFINES += USING_XVMC USING_XVMC_VLD:' \ -e 's:#EXTRA_LIBS += -lviaXvMC -lXvMC:EXTRA_LIBS += -lviaXvMC -lXvMC:' \ -i 'settings.pro' || die "enable cle266 sed failed" fi if ! use cle266 ; then # needed because nvidia and cle266 are not compatible sed -e 's:EXTRA_LIBS += -lviaXvMC -lXvMC:#EXTRA_LIBS += -lviaXvMC -lXvMC:' \ -i 'settings.pro' || die "disable VLD XvMC sed failed" fi I tested this ebuild after making these changes, and was able to successfully build mythtv 0.16 with viaXvMC support, and it acted normally (didn't crash as soon as it attempted an XvMC call).
