[Buildroot] [PATCH v3 1/3] gst-ffmpeg: add option to select GPL vs LGPL build

[Danomi Manchego]

v2 -> v3:
 - Change enable-LGPL option to an enable-GPL, like the ffmpeg
   option, per recommendation from Luca Ceresoli.

v1 -> v2:
 - Move GST_FFMPEG_CONF_OPT adjustment (introduced by this patch)
   higher in the file, so that GST_FFMPEG_CONF_EXTRA_OPT lines
   don't get split.

[Buildroot] [PATCH v3 2/3] gst-ffmpeg: add --pkg-config to internal libav configure options

[Danomi Manchego]

The internal copy of libav in gst-ffmpeg does not understand the
PKG_CONFIG env variable, so it throws a line like this at the end
of its configuration:

WARNING: .../output/host/usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-pkg-config not found, library detection may fail.

This patch adds the --pkg-config to let libav know where it is.

This is basically the same problem suffered by ffmpeg, fixed in
commit a9a5a8159937cbc5e472cbd0b144d596b85a3386.

I tried to reproduce the issue, but the message didn't show up.
Can you chare a defconfig to reproduce the issue?

Thanks.

I've seen this in a few different configurations, so I didn't think
that you needed anything special.  But anyway, here is one possible
defconfig:

    BR2_arm=y
    BR2_cortex_a8=y
    BR2_ARM_FPU_NEON=y
    BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG=y
    BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
    BR2_PACKAGE_GSTREAMER=y
    BR2_PACKAGE_GST_FFMPEG=y
    # BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_TAR is not set

Look at the very end of the configure step, just before the build step:

    License: GPL version 2 or later
    Creating config.mak and config.h...

    WARNING: xxxx/output/host/usr/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-pkg-config
not found, library detection may fail.
    configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --disable-doc,
--disable-docs, --disable-documentation, --with-xmlto, --with-fop,
--enable-ipv6
    configure: *** Orc acceleration disabled.  Requires Orc >= 0.4.6,
which was not found.  Slower code paths will be used.

Instead of fixing just that one package, shouldn't we provide a symlink:
    TUPLE-pkg-config  ->  pkg-config

This way, all packages that expect a cross-pkg-config will work without
customisation.

Thomas, thoughts?

Yann E. MORIN.

NAK.

Although I do like 'menuconfig' much for a better-lookinf layout, this
should not be part of that patch, but separate in its own one.

I don't have a very strong opinion here. How many packages expect
TUPLE-pkg-config instead of pkg-config? I'm not sure it's really the
majority, and if it's not, I prefer to keep handling this on a
per-package basis rather than adding a symlink.

 Actually, even if it is just two packages that use it, I think it is worthwhile
to add the symlink. It is one less thing to solve when adding a package.
