#35 CVS - [mjpeg_simd_helper] Error

[Anonymous]

I had to go with CVS 1.9.0 because of release 1.8.0
doing this:

lav_io.c: In function `lav_fileno':
lav_io.c:1370: error: dereferencing pointer to
incomplete type
make[1]: *** [liblavfile_la-lav_io.lo] Error 1

I've seen the error a few times on google but none had
an answer. Anywho... CVS now bombs with this:

gcc -mcpu=740 -mtune=740 -pipe -O2 -pthread

So.... Guess I'll forsake mjpegtools for now, unless
ofcourse someone offers a fix.. Thanks for your time.

Hmmm... Look at it trying to link against an ancient
gcc-build directory in /tmp... What's up with that? :-(

This is a DIY PPC build with a total of 278 packages
installed and not ONCE have I ever had a problem with this.

So, I'm still inclined to think this is a problem with CVS
mjpegtools...

On which system do you try to build the mjpegtools ?
Which compiler do you use ?

Can you add the output of the configure script to your next
answer. That will help much in finding the problem.

Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.
It's a DIY Linux build on a G3 Powerbook Pismo running:

gcc-3.4.6
glibc-2.3.6
binutils-2.16.1

I think that there is a problem with you g++, I guess that
there could be a problem with the gcc (g++) you use. I only
have a 4.1.0 (Suse on PC) and 4.0.0 on a OSX. And I can
compile the CVS version without problems.

If it is possible please try a newer GCC.
I'm sorry I have no patch at hand.

The output from the configure script lookes Ok.

Well, thanks again for the help but I'm not big into gcc-4.x

3.4.6 is the most widely used and stable version out there.
If it's a gcc-3.4.6 problem then it needs to be fixed in
mjpegtools. I'm not sure thats what is going on anyway
except that the problem seems to be with mpeg2enc in mjpegtools.

Again, I have no idea why it's picking up that
/tmp/gcc-build crap. Besides, that's not even what my error
is steming from. My compiler has been flawless thus far; the
entire 300 package system built with my bootstrapped
3.4.6... All of a sudden I have a problem at the very tail
end with mjpegtools?!^*? Nah....

I just wish someone would acknowledge the original problem
with mjpegtools-1.8.0 and come out with a patch. A poster on
the mailing list a couple months back had the same problem
and got ignored. People on LQ.org have posted about it too
along with various refrences in general doing a google search.

Pfffftttt... Oh well. :-( Time to chuck mjpegtools I guess.
Don't want to but I'm choiceless at the moment. Thanks again
for your responses. I'll wait and see what CVS does over the
next few months.
