gst-plugins-bad and EXTRA_OECONF

gst-plugins-bad and EXTRA_OECONF

[Samuel Stirtzel]

Hi,

recently my builds fail with obscure errors like:
gst-plugins-bad:
| /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxml2.so: file not recognized: File
format not recognized
| collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status


This is caused by sdl-config from my buildhost, though gst-plugins-bad
has EXTRA_OECONF += "... --disable-sdl ... --disable-orc"

It seems to be ignored:
checking for ORC... yes
checking for usable orcc...
/work/oe-core/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/orcc
...
configure: *** checking feature: SDL plug-in ***
configure: *** for plug-ins: sdlvideosink sdlaudiosink ***
checking for sdl-config... /usr/bin/sdl-config
checking for SDL - version >= 0.11.0... cross compiling; assumed OK...
yes
configure: *** These plugins will be built: sdlvideosink sdlaudiosink



Maybe anyone can reproduce this error with:
bitbake -ccleansstate libsdl gst-plugins-bad && bitbake gst-plugins-bad
(eventually manual deletion of sdl-config in
<sysroot-target>/usr/bin/crosscripts is necessary)

Is this a known bug?

I tried replicating by bitbaking libsdl and then gst-plugins-bad, but
it still disabled the SDL plugins.  What version of oe-core are you
using, and do you have any other layers that could be involved?

I know angstrom overrides the OE-core recipes to enable or and other
plugins:

[koen@rrMBP meta-angstrom]$ cat
recipes-tweaks/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad_0.10.23.bbappend 
PRINC := "${@int(PRINC) + 2}"
DEPENDS += "orc orc-native"
EXTRA_OECONF =  "--disable-directfb --disable-examples --disable-vdpau
--disable-apexsink --enable-experimental --enable-orc"

Seems like I missed the missing "--disable-sdl",
should I send a patch that adds libsdl to the DEPENDS of this
.bbappend? Or would you prefer a "--disable-sdl" here?

This issue was a bit irritating, since I built the same image for some
time now and suddenly it breaks without any changes in the related .bb
or .bbappend...

This is why I've had reworking the GStreamer plugin configuration on my todo list for a while.  Something along the lines of massive use of PACKAGECONFIG should make this sort of problem disappear.
