[PATCH] gstreamer: gst-ffmpeg: fix build issues for libav

[Yao Zhao]

1.The included libav configure is not generated by autotools
  patch use-correct-toolchain.patch patched its configure to
use correct toolchain wrapper.

2.add bzip2 dependency explicitly.
  or configure will detect whether libbz2 is installed, if bzip2
is triggered earlier then it will be detected, if not then won't

3.detect whether toolchain supports altivec, if not then add
disable-altivec to libav's configure line or configure will fail

4.move the GSTREAMER_DEBUG to libav's configure, it is not the
option for the main configure.

Why are you patching the toolchain instead of passing the correct parameters
to configure (--enable-cross-compile, --cross-prefix-..., etc)?

Looks OK.

Wrong fix.

http://git.libav.org/?p=libav.git;a=blob;f=configure;h=b139008d2b1aa5faea3f33c2a1922d0e1cb1fa5c;hb=HEAD#l2318

It should be fixed by passing the proper CPU to libav's configure as an argument.

OK.

I find it a lot easier to build gst-ffmpeg against an external libav, that way you don't have to jump through all these hoops to get a proper libav. That's what the meta-oe bbappend does :)

I've always wondered why Libav was not its own recipe. It seems like it
would be a lot easier to maintain... calling its configure from gst's
configure is... unpleasant. :)

It's been in meta-oe for ages. I guess we should move gst-ffmpeg (which is called gst-libav nowadays) into meta-multimedia together with libav.

As an upstream developer, I volunteer to maintain the recipe if need be. :)

in the configure,
ar_default="${cross_prefix}${ar_default}"
cc_default="${cross_prefix}${cc_default}"
nm_default="${cross_prefix}${nm_default}"
pkg_config_default="${cross_prefix}${pkg_config_default}"
ranlib="${cross_prefix}${ranlib}"

cc_default is the gcc so cc_default will be for example: 
powerpc-xxx-gcc, it won't use the toolcain wrapper.

I will try whether command line will solve these too.

         e500v2)
             cpuflags="-mcpu=8548 -mhard-float -mfloat-gprs=double"
             disable altivec
         ;;
         e500)
             cpuflags="-mcpu=8540 -mhard-float"
             disable altivec
         ;;

I am fixing for e500mc which is not a case here and I am not sure what 
exactly the cpuflags should be.
Any idea?

Perhaps you are looking for --cc=<something>?

Same thing can be done with --ld, and pals if you desire.

Remember to set --arch, maybe --cpu and --target-os too, as well as --enable-cross-compile.
