tests/check/gst/struct_ppc32.h and tests/check/gst/struct_ppc64.h are almost the same, but I think on ppc64 pointers are bigger.
In fact, copying tests/check/gst/struct_x86_64.h to tests/check/gst/struct_ppc64.h makes this test pass.

So it seems the tests aren't correct, but better have the opinion of someone more experienced with ppc64 than me ;)

the same applies to tests/check/libs/struct_ppc64.h

[Comment 2 Alexis Ballier 2007-12-14 12:51:34 UTC]

filled upstream too

good work! gstreamer tests always failed, but gstreamer itself worked otherwise.

I think we should create a patch. I'll do it once I'm next to my ppc64 machine again.

I've made one, its attached to the upstream bugreport and they just applied it. I dunno if gstreamer herd wants to apply it or just wait for the next release.

thanks, alexis!

I'd say let's wait for upstream releasing a new version.

[Comment 6 Alexis Ballier 2008-01-30 10:37:25 UTC]

media-libs/gstreamer-0.10.16 now passes tests but gst-plugins-base-0.10.16 fails :-( will investigate this one
