Slimserver-vendor compilation on FreeBSD about slimserver HOT 9 CLOSED

Could you please send a pull request?

from slimserver.

Did not notice this issue earlier and reinvented the wheel ;). BarnabasDK, can you check the buildme.sh from py Pull request? I fixed some similar issues in mine: https://github.com/phaethon/slimserver-vendor/blob/public/7.9/CPAN/buildme.sh
And, mherger, now there is a pull request on slimserver-vendor repo.

Also, libmediascan has serious issues with FreeBSD. There is some logic, which checks whether os is OSX, Linux or Win, leaving everybody else (e.g. FreeBSD) excluded. I am now looking into that. mherger, should submit fixes as a change to libmediascan or as a patch file/buildme.sh change for slimserver-vendor?

from slimserver.

I created a pull request for libmediascan, but I am not sure if anybody follows that code anymore. It fixes scanning of pictures and videos for FreeBSD. Without this patch it does not scan those files at all.

@phaethon - Please see my comment in your pull request

Sorry for the late reply, for some reason the mails for this thread only started ticking in yesterday.

I have two issues - one not really important for the build a such.

1. I build in a freebsd jail, and on a jail you have no localhost interface. That makes some of the tests fail since they use this. I just build with -t.

2. The linker produces the following error

CPAN/build/include/../lib/libdb.a -lm -lz -lintl
/usr/bin/ld: /root/logitech/slimserver-vendor/CPAN/build/include/../lib/libavcod
ec.a(deinterlace.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against `ff_pw_4' can not be used
when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value
cc: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /root/logitech/slimserver-vendor/CPAN/libmediascan-0.1/bindings
/perl
make failed, aborting

maybe just give it the build argument it asks for?

On 2), this is the flag that helped me with the issue, so I changed the respective place in buildme.sh. My ARCH is amd64-freebsd-thread-multi. What is your ARCH (as calculated by script)? If it is different, we likely just have to add it here.
if [ "$ARCH" = "x86_64-linux-thread-multi" -o "$ARCH" = "amd64-freebsd-thread-multi" ]; then
FFOPTS="$FFOPTS --disable-mmx"
fi
I assume you did a clean rebuild of ffmpeg with the builme.sh. Otherwise, that could be the issue.

from slimserver.

Yes, I deleted the build artifact folder completely.

the following script

root@squeezebox:/root/logitech/slimserver-vendor/CPAN # cat arch.sh
#!/bin/sh
ARCH=$(/usr/bin/perl -MConfig -le 'print $Config{archname}' | sed 's/gnu-//' | sed 's/^i[3456]86-/i386-/' | sed 's/armv5tejl/arm/')

echo $ARCH

outputs

root@squeezebox:/root/logitech/slimserver-vendor/CPAN # ./arch.sh
amd64-freebsd

from slimserver.

Interesting. Which FreeBSD version you have? I have 10.1 and I get amd64-freebsd-thread-multi
Anyway, try changing above code in buildme.sh (around line 1192) to:
if [ "$ARCH" = "x86_64-linux-thread-multi" -o "$ARCH" = "amd64-freebsd-thread-multi" -o "$ARCH" = "amd64-freebsd" ]; then
FFOPTS="$FFOPTS --disable-mmx"
fi

and try again.

You are right. This seems to be another jail issue.

If I am to build on the root host I have to install all of the build dependencies in that context, and I would rather not. I actually think you script works now and the rest of the issues tie to the fact I am using a chrooted context.

Thanks!
