VLC Nightly bootstrap issues

Postby nova-silver » 11 Nov 2010 05:11

First time poster, so please be gentle.

Attempting to build a VLC nightly from source within a RHEL 5.5 x86_64 config (customer OS baseline).

Referenced "HACKING" from the git and made sure that the requirements are up to date: (built from downloaded source)

Apologies, but I'm not overly familiar with autoconf, so the warning starting with AM_SILENT_RULES I'm assuming is a bad thing.

Googling and searching the VLC forum has yielded similar postings over the past several years, but none to a resolution in this case.

Manually running: "autoreconf --install --force --verbose " as taken from the bootstrap line 107, results in similar warnings and errors:

Thank you, that solved the issue.

Would you like for me to update the HACKING file in the source to indicate 1.11 is required vice 1.9+ or is that simply a RedHat-ism?

Re: VLC Nightly bootstrap issues

Postby nova-silver » 14 Nov 2010 01:50

Bootstrap and configure are now working properly. I had a new more dependencies to resolve within the configure, and am now running into a problem during the make portion.

Code: Select all

make[6]: Entering directory `/install/vlc/modules/access/bd' CC libaccess_bd_plugin_la-bd.lo CC libaccess_bd_plugin_la-mpls.lo CC libaccess_bd_plugin_la-clpi.lo CCLD libaccess_bd_plugin.la /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /lib/libdbus-1.so when searching for -ldbus-1 make[6]: Leaving directory `/install/vlc/modules/access/bd' make[5]: Leaving directory `/install/vlc/modules/access/bd' Making all in zip make[5]: Entering directory `/install/vlc/modules/access/zip' make all-am make[6]: Entering directory `/install/vlc/modules/access/zip' CC libzip_plugin_la-zipstream.lo CC libzip_plugin_la-zipaccess.lo CCLD libzip_plugin.la /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /lib/libdbus-1.so when searching for -ldbus-1 make[6]: Leaving directory `/install/vlc/modules/access/zip' make[5]: Leaving directory `/install/vlc/modules/access/zip' make[5]: Entering directory `/install/vlc/modules/access' CC libaccess_avio_plugin_la-avio.lo CCLD libaccess_avio_plugin.la /usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libavformat.a(allformats.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a64_muxer' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/local/lib/libavformat.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[5]: *** [libaccess_avio_plugin.la] Error 1 make[5]: Leaving directory `/install/vlc/modules/access' make[4]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/install/vlc/modules/access' make[3]: *** [all] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/install/vlc/modules/access' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/install/vlc/modules' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/install/vlc' make: *** [all] Error 2 [root@source vlc]#
Stumbling around google a bit has pointed to a Gentoo linux page in relation to HOWTO fix -fPIC errors. It would appear that my problem is upstream of VLC in the ffmpeg build, since libavformat.a is constructed by ffmpeg as near as I can tell.

The system is a x86_64 setup:
[root@source vlc]# uname -a
Linux source 2.6.18-194.el5 #1 SMP Tue Mar 16 21:52:39 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Granted a much older kernel due to the RHEL5.5 nature of the initial build.

My configure setup is as follows:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash #grabs configures vlc to build under $build #Variables get=install #where the source is downloaded too build=/opt/vlc #where the install is performed export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/install/x264:/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.7.1/lib/pkgconfig:/install/ffmpeg:/opt/ffmpeg/lib #builds VLC from source cd /$get/vlc #./bootstrap ./configure --prefix=$build \ --enable-snapshot \ --enable-debug \ --enable-live555 --with-live555-tree=/$get/live \ --enable-x264 --with-x264-tree=/$get/x264 \ --enable-faad --with-faad-tree=/$get/faad2-2.7 \ --enable-libmpeg2 --enable-qt4 \ --disable-nls \ --disable-postproc \ --disable-fribidi \ --disable-sdl \ --disable-vcdx
/opt/ffmpeg contains a working copy of a Nov 7 svn checkout, hence the PKG_CONFIG_PATH for the /opt/ffmpeg/lib directory.

I'm a little stumped as to where the -fPIC needs to be included. Assuming it should be in the ffmpeg build, so that libavformat.a contains the right symbols?

Thank you for the review.

Hi

I am trying to compile the VLC code. I was getting same problem of "autoreconf: /usr/local/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1"
I am using
Autoconf 2.64
automake 1.10
gettext 0.17
pkg-config .22


Later i changed my automake to 1.11. But now i am getting following errors. Can you suggest what is missing?

automake 1.11.1
pkg-config .22
