Bug 78129 – xine-lib-1_rc8-r1 cant find libXv on xorg-x11-6.8.1.902

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Roman Gaufman 2005-01-15 12:41:02 UTC]

xine-lib-1_rc8-r1 cant find libXv on xorg-x11-6.8.1.902:
  checking for libXv.so... libXv.so not found in
  checking for libXv.a... libXv.a not found in

Naturally xorg-x11 is a keyword masked version while xine-lib is marked stable so feel free to mark as wont fix, but thought it would be valuable to report this especially since a version bump for xorg on stable should be coming soon.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. echo x11-base/xorg-x11 >>/etc/portage/package.keywords
2. emerge xorg-x11 xine-lib
3. see how all xine frontends can no longer have xv video output as an option

Since its an ~arch vs arch issue. It would be more than fair to close this as "wont fix" and push xine-lib-1.0 to stable for the new xorg release since xine-lib-1.0 works beautifully.

Well, I've wasted so much precious time trying to figure out why does xv not work anymore. Of course the problem was in this version of xine-lib. I think that rc8 should be marked ~arch and/or removed from portage, since there are not many users, who do not use xv to play videos, I suppose.

Hi,

it's because the xorg-x11 ebuild as of late installs lib ind /usr/lib. So xine-lib simply searches in the wrong place. You need to build xine-lib with --with-xv-path=/usr/lib. Just add it here:

# Use the built-in dvdnav plugin.
    local myconf="--with-included-dvdnav --with-xv-path=/usr/lib"

I think xine-lib 1.0 doesn't need this anymore, but I may be wrong.

Later
Sebastian

xine-lib-1.0-r2 will be marked stable soon and this is already fixed in that version.
