[Buildroot] [PATCH v2 1/1] package/ffmpeg: Disable rtmpdump support when PolarSSL is enabled

[Bernd Kuhls]

Using rtmpdump with PolarSSL breaks ffmpeg configure:
/home/test/autobuild/instance-1/output/host/usr/mips64el-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/lib/librtmp.so: undefined reference to `havege_random'
/home/test/autobuild/instance-1/output/host/usr/mips64el-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/lib/librtmp.so: undefined reference to `havege_init'

This problem could be fixed by enabling POLARSSL_HAVEGE_C:
http://freetz.org/browser/trunk/make/libs/polarssl/patches/050-activate-havege-random-generator-needed-by-rtmpdump.polarssl.patch?rev=10797

This option is however accompanied by a warning in
include/polarssl/config.h:

 * Warning: the HAVEGE random generator is dependent on timing and specific
 *          processor traits. It is therefore not advised to use HAVEGE as
 *          your applications primary random generator or primary entropy pool
 *          input. As a secondary input to your entropy pool, it IS able add
 *          the (limited) extra entropy it provides.

Since rtmpdump is not a vital part of ffmpeg it is save to disable
rtmpdump support when PolarSSL is used.

This indicates that polarssl doesn't provide all the symbols needed by
librtmp.

So the problem should not be fixed at the ffmpeg level, but at the
librtmp level: any other package that will try to link with librtmp
will have the same issue.

The fix should be done in rtmpdump.mk, by disabling the possibility of
using polarssl as the crypto library. I guess it has to do with the API
change of PolarSSL (Gustavo ?).

Thanks,

Thomas

Hi Thomas, definitely...

Those are part of the 1.2 API so no issues there.
However rtmpdump has severe issues with it's Makefile and the resulting 
librtmp.pc.
librtmp.pc.in says:

Requires: @CRYPTO_REQ@

The Makefile says (condensed):

CRYPTO=OPENSSL
#CRYPTO=GNUTLS
...
REQ_GNUTLS=gnutls,hogweed,nettle
REQ_OPENSSL=libssl,libcrypto
...
CRYPTO_REQ=$(REQ_$(CRYPTO))

Hence polarssl is never thrown into the pkgconfig fail, hence it will 
always fail.

So, as it is, rtmpdump is useless with polarssl even if it builds with 
it, so your fix is the right one unless rtmpdump is fixed.

Regards.
