Description Norman Rieß 2021-12-28 10:26:36 UTC
media-video/ffmpeg-4.4.1-r1 fails to build on arm64 with error message:

--cpu=host not supported with compiler aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc

COMMON_FLAGS without "-march=native" leads to a successfull build.

Please do include the build.log of it failing too. I'm pretty sure i've built this on arm64 with -march=native which is interesting.

Comment 9 Red 2022-11-16 23:29:27 UTC
I am also hitting this issue. With both 4.4.2 and 4.4.3. I am surprised 4.4.2 is stabilized regardless of this bug. 

I have been looking for a definition on what the build system uses --cpu for, but can't seem to find it documented anywhere. Does it do anything -march=native and --disable-runtime-cpudetect doesn't? Does it select the cpu for the disabled runtime checks?

Assuming it does something, I still vote having this configure flag(s) not added on arm64 for the time being. Not that I don't want the deeper issue to be resolved ofc
Comment 10 Red 2022-11-16 23:41:29 UTC
I just saw the forum post you sent sam_, missed that earlier. If the issue here is really the ffmpeg build system not knowing my cpu, this error message is fairly misleading.

I also just noticed that I'm the first person to hit this in half a year. Attaching my emerge --info:

Dirty workaround

I get the same issue on a Apple M2.

The problem for me is basically this:

# gcc -v -E -x c /dev/null -o /dev/null -march=native 2>&1 | grep /cc1
 /usr/libexec/gcc/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/13/cc1 -E -quiet -v /dev/null -o /dev/null -mlittle-endian -mabi=lp64 -dumpbase null
# gcc -v -E -x c /dev/null -o /dev/null -mcpu=native 2>&1 | grep /cc1
 /usr/libexec/gcc/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/13/cc1 -E -quiet -v /dev/null -o /dev/null -mlittle-endian -mabi=lp64 -dumpbase null
# gcc -v -E -x c /dev/null -o /dev/null -march=native -mcpu=native 2>&1 | grep /cc1
 /usr/libexec/gcc/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/13/cc1 -E -quiet -v /dev/null -o /dev/null -mlittle-endian -mabi=lp64 -march=armv8-a+crc+lse+rcpc+rdma+dotprod+aes+sha3+fp16fml+sb+ssbs+i8mm+bf16+flagm+pauth -dumpbase null

See how it repeats -march= with some values only when BOTH -march and -mcpu are given. My understanding is that -mcpu should be enough. I think this might be a combination of https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110901 and gcc just not knowing anything about the Apple CPUs or something along those lines.
If you are on arm64, then you should look at -mcpu if your intention is to get the most optimized code for the given CPU - -march=native alone does NOT provide that on Aarch64 GCC.

The ffmpeg configure test does not use provided CFLAGS and makes separate tests for -march=native and -mcpu=native, trying to find a -march= and -mcpu= (respectively) from the output. Thus I hacked around it with the attached patch, but it's very dirty one and mustn't be used generically as it breaks amd64, etc. Maybe a suitable generically applicable workaround would be to add a third test for gcc that would also test with both -march=native and -mcpu=native and then try to find -march from the output. I didn't bother with this, because

1. It's questionable check in ffmpeg configure in the first place - we should understand why it's even doing these checks
2. It feels like it's an underlying gcc bug to be fixed
Comment 12 Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev 2023-09-30 15:58:54 UTC
My case does not feel relevant to the original report, as I don't see how COMMON_FLAGS would affect what I found, but it feels relevant to comment #3 case.

Comment 14 Morgan Wahl 2024-03-01 02:15:37 UTC
I ran into this error on a RK3399 (in a pinebook pro). My COMMON_FLAGS is `-Os -pipe -march=native`.

Playing with `gcc -v` I see `-march=native` and `-mcpu=native` both result in the same thing: `-mcpu=cortex-a72.cortex-a53+crc+crypto`. This is true when they are used separate or together.

I worked around the problem by creating a /etc/portage/env/ffmpeg.conf with:

# ffmpeg configure does weird stuff that doesn't work with -march=native on arm64
COMMON_FLAGS="-Os -pipe -mcpu=cortex-a72.cortex-a53+crc+crypto"
CFLAGS="${COMMON_FLAGS}"
CXXFLAGS="${COMMON_FLAGS}"
FCFLAGS="${COMMON_FLAGS}"
FFLAGS="${COMMON_FLAGS}"

And then reference that in /etc/portage/package.env/ .
Comment 15 Jean-Claude Gervais 2024-03-12 01:54:43 UTC
Can confirm this also manifests when compiling on arm64.

Workaround of removing -march=native from common flags and instead replacing with -mtune=cortex-a72 does indeed permit the package to build.
Comment 16 opensauce04 2025-01-12 11:05:00 UTC
Still experiencing this issue when emerging FFmpeg 6.1.2
Comment 17 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2025-01-29 19:05:17 UTC
Thanks to the efforts of Tamar upstream in GCC, the comment #3 case / Apple HW issues should be fixed with the next GCC 14 snapshot once keyworded/stabled.

The other issue lurking needs investigation (though not impossible that Tamar's fix for the other bug wrt assembler could help).

    * Cleanup a lot of obsolete logic, like mirror://gentoo snapshots,
      SCM type, <openssl-3 handling, etc...
    
    * Re-arrange IUSE=soc handling to drop the IUSE when FFMPEG_SOC_PATCH
      is empty until maintainer of the patch has time to look at that
      (easier to bump without it and removes the need to mask in 9999)
    
    * Drop some IUSE, ffmpeg has a bit too many often confusing users and,
      while debatable, some are not really useful to control bare at most
      for expert user that could use EXTRA_ECONF if *really* wanted:
    
      - debug (disabled): does very little beside override users' -g*,
        albeit if want nasm debug symbols will need to set X86ASMFLAGS.
    
      - encode (enabled): debated keeping it for disabling encoders
        without their own USE for bit of size/build time reduction despite
        no dependencies, but feel it is not really worth it as it
        complicates the ebuild and can break expectations for a lot
        of revdeps (many likely lack the [encode] that they need) --
        removal also handles bug #770439
    
      - fftools_* (disabled): almost no distros install these, many have
        rather generic names, we were missing installing new ones,
        upstream ffmpeg does not even have an install target for them,
        and a global USE_EXPAND for this feels wasteful (*could* consider
        adding a all-in-one IUSE=tools if some are wanted by users anyway
        but let us try without and see if anyone complains)
    
      - glslang (disabled): redundant with USE=shaderc and is a pain to
        use directly given glslang often breaks things, esp. worse for
        packages with a slow release cycle and old LTS versions like
        ffmpeg (bug #918989, bug #920283, bug #922333, bug #922433) --
        upstream also seems to favour shaderc: "libshaderc and libglslang
        are mutually exclusive, if in doubt, disable libglslang"
        (from ./configure)
    
      - harcoded-tables (disabled): off by default upstream and listed as a
        "experts only" option that seemingly provide little gains for a
        notable size increase, do not believe it is worth exposing as a USE
    
      - iconv (enabled): virtual/libiconv is essentially free anywhere but
        prefix and disabling iconv can be rather broken for a few things
    
      - network (enabled): no dependencies, fairly small, and many revdeps
        likely expect it to be enabled and just missing the [network]
        (tempting to do the same with USE=postproc but it would still be
        conditional through USE=gpl and be more confusing, and then forcing
        GPL also has its own issues)
    
      - oss (auto): does not have a dedicated option and just checks
        linux-headers and is very small, hardly anyone need this
        but that argument could be applied to a *ton* of in/outdevs,
        filters, de/encoders, and such and we would never see the end
        of it
    
      - pic (enabled): makes little sense not to enable nowadays and
        handles bug #903754 + bug #916067 -- USE had the secondary
        effect of disabling x86-32 asm which still doing given it is
        difficult to support either way due to textrels and
        >=binutils-2.41's enforcing (bug #916067, bug #920808), and
        it is possibly broken for older hardware (bug #733556) -- as
        a minor bonus, this should also let LTO work with abi_x86_32
        (bug #654118)
    
      - static-libs (disabled): cannot think of much of a use for this
        esp. given how massive these libraries are and it would still
        require to link with all its shared-only dependencies
    
      - test (irrelevant): tests are not gone but there is no dependencies
        (bc and wget are not needed) nor REQUIRED_USE to handle anymore,
        thus USE is useless
    
      - threads (auto): no real sense in disabling (bug #868471), and
        leaving it auto let ffmpeg figure out the right implementation
        to use which in most cases means default --enable-pthreads
    
      - cpu_flags_* + cpudetection (enabled): tentatively anyway, just
        let ffmpeg do its thing normally -- simplifies the ebuild a lot,
        "should" fix bug #915384, and also handles whatever ebuild
        was doing wrong wrt bug #752507 + bug #778035 (one minor "issue"
        however is that all these flags being removed will leave users
        confused as to what happened, if reading this and worried about
        optimizations.. then no they are *not* disabled, and it is fine
        for other machines thanks to detection at runtime)
    
    * New IUSE:
    
      - openmpt: requested in bug #921313
    
      - npp: requested in bug #695210 -- note have not tested the
        arm64 (sbsa) support, but it should work in theory as cuda
        toolkit does install npp prebuilt arm64 libraries
    
      - rabbitmq: trivial, may as well add support
    
      (meant to add more but others did not fare as well and will leave
      for later rather than during big changes, kept some minor notes in
      the ebuild about things still not supported)
    
    * Renamed IUSE:
    
      - mp3->lame: this is only for encoding but it made it "sound"
        needed for decoding (not the only case like this but this one
        felt too generic), may surprise those that had it actually
        enabled for encoding
    
      - libxml2->xml and libdrm->drm: given newly enabling these by
        default (see below), it's a good occasion to rename to the
        more commonly used USE without causing issues
    
      - libv4l->v4l: to be precise IUSE=v4l was removed and it gained
        the meaning that IUSE=libv4l had -- old v4l is always enabled
        (if linux) due to the hard dependency on linux-headers (see below)
        -- given the old REQUIRED_USE with libv4l? ( v4l ), all users of
        libv4l will have the new USE enabled already
    
      - libdvdnav+libdvdread->dvd(combined): similar to mpv, simpler
        for users when they just want dvds to work than worry about
        each library (dvd support is new in ffmpeg-7, so this only
        ever been masked)
    
    * Enable a few extra IUSE by default that, while not everyone needs,
      are useful and have dependencies that many users will already have.
    
      - libass,truetype,fontconfig: for proper text/subtitles drawing
        (kdenlive also wants [libass]), albeit video players tend to
        have their own handling (that pull the same depdencies)
    
      - drm: used in various pieces of code and little reason to
        disable when mesa depends on libdrm either way
    
      - xml: needed for DASH-type streams, notably used by youtube,
        and about everyone has libxml2
    
      (one downside of new defaults is MULTILIB_USEDEP, users that only
      selectively enable abi_x86_32 rather than globally may be faced with
      conflicts when updating)
    
    * Always depend on linux-headers if linux, not *required* (except for
      v4l) but this prevents a lot of automagic and going through alternate
      code paths if missing (also go with >=6 which is needed for v4l2m2m
      and I believe also USE=soc for v4l2request)
    
    * Add missing vulkan-headers dependency wrt bug #865201, and also
      opencl-headers wrt bug #941506 (not 100% sure that this is what
      happened for the latter, but given binhost is setup it is likely).
    
    * Bump nv-codec-headers min req to 12.1.14.0, while not *required*
      it spares us for setting up ranges and 11.x is due for cleanup.
    
    * Add missing x11-base/xorg-proto wrt bug #934196 -- technically
      was longer an issue given libX11 RDEPENDs on it "now", but would
      still rather keep these for now.
    
    * Depend on >=librsvg-2.52 wrt bug #918613, USE=svg is not essential
      for arches without rust and upstream bug been went 1.5 years without
      activity.
    
    * Update REQUIRED_USE a bit, cuda does not *need* nvenc (just get
      one filter in less), libplacebo does nothing without sdl(ffplay)
      or vulkan, and few others like these (likely still missing some).
    
    * Drop musl HAVE_POSIX_IOCTL workaround, this is automatically set by
      ./configure since ffmpeg-7.1. However, note that there is another
      related issue with libv4l (not v4l) that is not fixed (bug #911499).
    
    * No longer ignore ffmpeg-spec-disposition test, fixed in 7.1.1.
    
    * Fix verify-sig paths on prefix wrt bug #947253 (untested)
    
    * No longer pass e.g. --disable-indev=alsa when already doing
      --disable-alsa, ./configure seem to figure this out just fine.
    
    * No longer pass --cpu, this expects the -march=<exact> reported by
      the compiler or probes compiler with =native if =host), however it
      does not account for -mno-* both passed or implied by =native and
      could enable things it shouldn't. Furthermore, it adds -march=<exact>
      after the users' -march=native (which is more correct, can enable
      or disable additional features). This option only seem like trouble
      and likely does not get tested much. Removing also handles
      bug #830165 albeit ffmpeg-chromium is still affected.
    
    * Replace EXTRA_FFMPEG_CONF by EXTRA_ECONF, while it is not using
      econf nor autoconf, the latter is more widely known while the former
      needs users to look at the ebuild -- also die if old variable is set
      so users know about this change.
    
    * Skip installing doc/*.txt, that seems mostly oriented at ffmpeg devs,
      and feels noisy in the docdir, but do keep doc/APIChanges
    
    * Replace all *GPL* by the + version given ./configure always output
      with "or later" when listing the final license.
    
    * Maybe not best way to go about this, but when doing incompatible
      --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree, on top of the RESTRICT="bindist"
      also add "all-rights-reserved" so a typical freedom ACCEPT_LICENSE
      can block it.
    
    * Rearrange chromium patch a bit to need less ebuild logic, and make
      it unused for ffmpeg-compat.
    
    * Drop EGIT_MIN_CLONE_TYPE, shallow clones seem fine now? If not,
      could consider just using the official github mirror by default.
    
    List of closed bugs may not be complete, plans are to recheck
    still-open bugs after this is merged.

Still an issue on ffmpeg-6.1.2 with non-apple hardware.

All that matters is if 6.1.2-*r1* fails.

Oops, forgot to --sync before running on this machine.  Sorry!
Comment 22 Ionen Wolkens gentoo-dev 2025-03-28 01:22:31 UTC
ftr will drop ffmpeg-6.1.2 (-r0) today probably, so indeed.
