Unable to compile MPlayer on QNX

GENERAL Help

Hi,

I am getting following compiler errors when I comile MPlayer (MPlayer-1.0rc) source code on QNX 6.3.2 OS.

make: *** [libavcodec/libavcodec.a] Error 2

I looked in to the code and the initializer element is an constant defined in float.h as FLT_MIN and FLT_MAX.

Why is this error is coming even though it is defined as constant in float.h.

Did any one compiled MPlayer on QNX ???

Thanks,
Govind.

Check this out. Looks like someone had a similar problem:

he is also facing build issues.

‘config.h’ and ‘config.mak’ contain your configuration options.
Note: If you alter theses files (for instance CFLAGS) MPlayer may no longer
compile *** DO NOT REPORT BUGS if you tweak these files ***

‘make’ will now compile MPlayer and ‘make install’ will install it.

Here is what I had to do to build this

Use qcc to compile, it will call gcc for you. This is how I called configure :

CC=‘qcc -Vgcc_ntox86’ CXX=‘qcc -Vgcc_ntox86’ ./configure --disable-gcc-check --disable-tv --disable-mmx --disable-mmxext --disable-sse

You may also want to use gcc 3.3.5 as your default compiler, QNX by default uses 2.95.3. On self hosted you will need to edit this file to look like this

cat /usr/qnx632/host/qnx6/x86/etc/qcc/default

DIR=gcc/3.3.5/

Then I found there was something wrong with “tr” that caused a configure issue. So in configure I had to changed the lines in this section to replace “\n” with “\12” before you run configure.

echo $_libavdecoders | tr '[a-z] ' '[A-Z]\n' | sed 's/^/CONFIG_/;s/$/=yes/'
echo $_libavencoders | tr '[a-z] ' '[A-Z]\n' | sed 's/^/CONFIG_/;s/$/=yes/'
echo $_libavparsers | tr '[a-z] ' '[A-Z]\n' | sed 's/^/CONFIG_/;s/$/=yes/'
echo $_libavdemuxers | tr '[a-z] ' '[A-Z]\n' | sed 's/^/CONFIG_/;s/$/=yes/'
echo $_libavmuxers | tr '[a-z] ' '[A-Z]\n' | sed 's/^/CONFIG_/;s/$/=yes/'
echo $_libavbsfs | tr '[a-z] ' '[A-Z]\n' | sed 's/^/CONFIG_/;s/$/=yes/'

to

echo $_libavdecoders | tr '[a-z] ' '[A-Z]\12' | sed 's/^/CONFIG_/;s/$/=yes/'
echo $_libavencoders | tr '[a-z] ' '[A-Z]\12' | sed 's/^/CONFIG_/;s/$/=yes/'
echo $_libavparsers | tr '[a-z] ' '[A-Z]\12' | sed 's/^/CONFIG_/;s/$/=yes/'
echo $_libavdemuxers | tr '[a-z] ' '[A-Z]\12' | sed 's/^/CONFIG_/;s/$/=yes/'
echo $_libavmuxers | tr '[a-z] ' '[A-Z]\12' | sed 's/^/CONFIG_/;s/$/=yes/'
echo $_libavbsfs | tr '[a-z] ' '[A-Z]\12' | sed 's/^/CONFIG_/;s/$/=yes/'

And in the utils.c file you are having trouble with I just hardcoded the values since I think there is some strangeness between float.h and limits.h. Rather then figure it I added this near the top

#ifdef QNXNTO
#define FLT_EPSILON 0x8p-26
#define FLT_MAX 3.402823466e+38f
#define FLT_MIN 0x8p-129
#endif

And one last issue. In libavcodec/cabac.h around line 385 I had to hardcode undefine HAVE_EBX_AVAILABLE, maybe there was a config option but I was getting lazy at this point.

#ifdef QNXNTO
#undef HAVE_EBX_AVAILABLE
#endif

#if defined(ARCH_X86) && defined(HAVE_7REGS) && defined(HAVE_EBX_AVAILABLE) && !defined(BROKEN_RELOCATIONS)

After this it built. I used SDL to run it, you’ll need to install and configure that. If you want SDL to be recognized by MPlayer’s configure you’ll need to edit /usr/local/bin/sdl-config file so the lib lines look like this

--libs)
  echo -L${exec_prefix}/lib  -lSDL -lph -lasound
  ;;
--static-libs)

–libs|–static-libs)

  echo -L${exec_prefix}/lib  -lSDL -lph -lasound

I think that’s everything??? hopefully :slight_smile:

That’s really awesome. Someone want to make a .qpr out of it?

7

I don`t use .qpr only *.tgz
In my version with X11 and XPhoton mplayer working well.
I compiling SDL-1.2.13. Test programs work well.
When I try mplayer with SDL in full screen mode it not work.
Error is:
VO: [sdl] 592x320 => 592x320 Planar YV12
[VO_SDL] Set_fullmode: SDL_SetVideoMode failed: ph_SetupFullScreenImage(): PdCreateOffscreenContext(back) func
tion failed !
.
[VO_SDL] Failed to set video mode: ph_SetupFullScreenImage(): PdCreateOffscreenContext(back) function failed !
.
FATAL: Cannot initialize video driver.

8

I found mplayer to wonky full screen anyway. Windowed always worked for me.

And .tgz would work if you want to package it up. I can test it if you want.

9

OK.
Go to ajam.org.pl/
I send SDL version.

10

I am getting a strange error:

mplayer -vo X11 test.mov unknown symbol: __moddi3 Could not resolve all symbols

No matter how I invoke mplayer, thats the error I get.

11

This version I compiling without X11.

ldd mplayer

13

Do you test my version of mplayer or your ?
I compiled without the use of GL because I do not have him.
What version QNX do you use ? Do you work on what CPU ?
What does mplayer -vo help ?

14

I am using your version of Mplayer. I use QNX 6.3.2 on Intel x86.
Running mplayer -vo gives me the same error.

15

OK look

nm -f sysv -u -A -s mplayer | grep __moddi3

mplayer:__moddi3 | | U | FUNC|000001b9| |UND

__moddi3 is unknown symbol in mplayer.
But

readelf -d mplayer

libSDL-1.2.so.0:__moddi3 |0003f798| T | FUNC|000001b9| |.text

__moddi3 is defined in libSDL-1.2.so.0 and in my system mplayer work.
To compile mplayer and SDL I use gcc4.4.0

16

Did you compile sdl yourself or use the QNX packages? If you compiled it yourself, that is probably my problem because I had the QNX packages installed. I’ll go ahead and try compiling sdl myself.

17

I have installed my own SDL and libtool. Still the same error. I give up.

18

I do not use QNX packages. I compile whole software use gcc 4.3 and gcc4.4.
I send SDL-1.2 to ajam.org.pl/
This will help maybe.

19

Your SDL did it! Now it works fine.
Thank you for your help and patience. I appreciate it.
Now I can watch videos while doing some porting :slight_smile:

this Mplayer ,What codec support. mpeg1 or mpeg2 ,avi … ?
