Bug 22188 – gst-plugins compile time error

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Victor Tramp 2003-06-04 03:29:41 UTC]

hi, mac system here.. 

gst-plugins always fails in the same place during the compile in the :

/var/tmp/portage/gst-plugins-0.6.1/work/gst-plugins-0.6.1/gst/wavenc 

on a file called

gstwavenc.c

the error is:

while i myself have no idea how to code, i traced the error to what i suspect is
 this block of code in gstwavenc.c :

#if (G_BYTE_ORDER == G_BIG_ENDIAN)
      } else {
        GstBuffer *bsbuf = gst_buffer_new_and_alloc (GST_BUFFER_SIZE(buf));;
        guint bps = (wavenc->bits + 7) / 8, i, byte;
        guint8 *bsdata = GST_BUFFER_DATA(bsbuf), *data = GST_BUFFER_DATA (buf);

        /* this is ugly... */
        for (i = 0; i < GST_BUFFER_SIZE(bsbuf) / bps; i++) {
          for (byte = 0; byte < bps; byte++) {
            bsdata[i * bps + byte] = data[(i+1) * bps - (1+byte)];
          }
        }

        gst_buffer_unref (buf);
        gst_pad_push (wavenc->srcpad, bsbuf);
      }
#endif

something about guint and/or guint8 ?? my totally uneducated guess.. something
to do with endianism, or whatnot.. 

anyway, yes i do have gtk+-2.2.1-r1 installed curently, and i do seem to have a
proper build environment, includes all, and a reasonable ld.so.conf.. 

um.. please feel free to contact if more info needed..

thanks

can you paste the output of emerge info ? 

can't really test that on a x86 because it looks like a bigendian specific compile problem, ppc guys?

[Comment 2 foser (RETIRED) 2003-06-12 04:32:26 UTC]

lu_zero, seems you do gst related stuff for ppc ?

[Comment 3 Luca Barbato 2003-06-12 07:48:43 UTC]

Victor could you emerge again the gst-plugins-6.1 please?
gst-plugins builds correctly here.

foser I was waiting for the emerge info before taking any action, I already told liquidix that gst-plugins is building correctly on ppc with our current system/suggested cflags.

I'll wait another 5 days for any reply then I think that I'll close this bug.

no response, closing

reporter, reopen if this is still a problem
