Bug 67705 – ebuild of media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.7 fails on athlon-xp

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Thomas 2004-10-15 12:32:17 UTC]

There seems to be a problem in the ebuild of ffmpeg when compiling for athlon-xp. Per default it compiles for generic X86 even when USE=mmx is on, and then fails when linking. IMO there should be something like

use athlon-xp || myconf="${myconf} --cpu=athlon-xp"

or similar in the src_compile() section in the ebuild, to compile for athlon/athlon-xp. When giving --cpu=athlon-xp to the configure script things work fine. 

(maybe bug #59118 is related to this?)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge ffmpeg # <= this fails
2. cd /tmp/portage/ffmpeg-0.4.7/work/ffmpeg-0.4.7
3. make clean
4. ./configure --cpu=athlon-xp --enable-mmx --enable-mp3lame --enable-vorbis --enable-faad
5. make # <= this works !

sorry,

use athlon-xp && myconf="${myconf} --cpu=athlon-xp"

in the ebuild should fix it...

[Comment 2 Federico Tolomei 2004-12-07 16:26:15 UTC]

I have an AthlonXP and I resolved only with USE="-mmx" emerge ffmpeg.

[Comment 3 Chris White (RETIRED) 2005-03-09 14:51:14 UTC]

How bout the latest 0.4.9-p2005[something I forgot]-r1?

[Comment 4 Ruben Garcia 2005-03-17 06:33:34 UTC]

media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20050226-r1

compiles perfectly on a  AMD Athlon(TM) MP 1900+

Great, I'm closing this then.
