FFMPEG won't compile on RedHat el5

[Alexandre benoit]

Dear FFMPEG contributors,

After libc6 update, the cluster i use based on redHat linux version do not want to compile FFMPEG anymore in 64bit mode (and we do need 64bit).

Here is an information about the systeme : uname -r = 2.6.18-274.7.1.el5

I currently use the git version of ffmpeg but trying to compile any previous version 0.10.2, 0.9.1 or previous present the same problems. I also tried various options regarding --arch option, various gcc versions (3.4, 4.1, 4.4) the error and warnings are always the same.

Here is the script i use to configure compilation :

after a : git clone ​git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git ffmpeg

# update from git
cd /uds_data/listic/install/ffmpeg_package/ffmpeg
git pull
# move to the opencv main directory
./configure --prefix="/uds_data/listic/install/ffmpeg_package/install" --disable-yasm --enable-shared --cc=gcc44 --ld=gcc44
# old version : ./configure --prefix="/uds_data/listic/install/ffmpeg_package/install" --enable-shared --disable-yasm --arch=x86
# compile
make clean
make
make install

I send you as attached file the comile log

Hope it helps.
Best regards.

compilation log

[Carl Eugen Hoyos]

Please test ./configure && make, if it fails please run make again, run make V=1 and provide the complete, uncut output of the last make run (please do NOT post the complete, uncut of the first make run).

If you cannot install yasm (please understand that this severely hurts FFmpeg performance), use ./configure --disable-yasm && make

Please post the output of gcc44 -v, if this really is gcc-4.4.0, then please update your compiler.

Hi,

Here are my results :
gcc version is : gcc44 -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: x86_64-redhat-linux6E
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --with-bugurl=​http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla --enable-bootstrap --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-checking=release --with-system-zlib --enable-cxa_atexit --disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran --disable-libgcj --with-mpfr=/builddir/build/BUILD/gcc-4.4.0-20090514/obj-x86_64-redhat-linux6E/mpfr-install/ --with-ppl=/builddir/build/BUILD/gcc-4.4.0-20090514/obj-x86_64-redhat-linux6E/ppl-install --with-cloog=/builddir/build/BUILD/gcc-4.4.0-20090514/obj-x86_64-redhat-linux6E/cloog-install --with-tune=generic --with-arch_32=i586 --build=x86_64-redhat-linux6E
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.4.0 20090514 (Red Hat 4.4.0-6) (GCC)

Then, when trying to configure, i cannot do a simple ./configure but rather ./configure --disable-yasm
Afterwards make fails. Here is the make V=1 output :

Creating config.mak and config.h...
libavutil/avconfig.h is unchanged

[reimar]

./libavutil/avutil.h:340: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size

That is this line:

return (void *)(intptr_t)(p ? p : x);

So this means that intptr_t is 32-bit for a 64-bit build. This is consistent with the other errors you get.
This is a _severely_ broken build environment. Do _not_ use that compiler to compile _anything_.
It will create binaries that have major, but non-obvious bugs (at least if intptr_t is used in the code).
I can't say for sure whether the issue is in stdint.h or the compiler itself, but there is no question it is broken and that whatever the issue is it has nothing at all to do with FFmpeg.
