Trying to build FFmpeg 2.6.2 on OpenBSD / i386 with LLVM 3.5 fails like so...

[Carl Eugen Hoyos]

Does the following succeed compilation (is this the only issue)?

$ ./configure --enable-gpl --cc=clang --disable-postproc && make

And please confirm (no need to post output again) that the following fails:

$ ./configure --enable-gpl --cc=clang && make libpostproc/postprocess.o

Is your problem also reproducible with version a19bcf4e?

[Carl Eugen Hoyos]

Possibly related to ticket #4474 - does compilation of libavfilter/x86/vf_noise.o succeed?

[Brad Smith]

No, this is not the only issue. There was one or two other files that did not build.

With libpostproc disabled the build completes. With libpostproc enabled and just building that one object it fails.

It looks like a19bcf4e was commited quite some time ago and is included with 2.3 or newer so it is included with 2.6.x.

[Brad Smith]

libavfilter/x86/vf_noise.o builds Ok.

[Brad Smith]

Hrmm. I was wrong when I said there were other files. I was almost certain there was but checking back with my ports build I don't see any other files failing to build other than the libpostproc code.

[Carl Eugen Hoyos]

Did you test if the issue is reproducible with a19bcf4e?

[Brad Smith]

After looking at ticket #4474 I compared the detected availability of EBP / EBX with the system GCC 4.2.1 vs LLVM I see that EBX is no for GCC and yes for LLVM.

If I disable EBX after configure runs with LLVM then libpostproc builds.

[Michael Niedermayer]

clang-3.5 works fine on linux building x86 32bit shared libs, with both EBX and EBP enabled

[Michael Niedermayer]

maybe something like this would workaround this compiler issue:
could you test and amend if it doesnt work?

Comparing Clang on Linux to OpenBSD is not an apples to apples comparison. OpenBSD uses PIE (everywhere), Linux does not. So the Linux Clang is just not exposing this issue.

Replying to brad:

If I disable EBX after configure runs with LLVM then libpostproc builds.

Does this mean the current test for EBX availability in configure fails for LLVM on OpenBSD?

[Brad Smith]

That is what it sounds like to me. With the system GCC 4.2.1 the EBX test shows no, with LLVM/Clang it shows as yes. I would be willing to test anything you want if you happen to have any ideas.

[Michael Niedermayer]

Can you test the patch in ​https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/4599#comment:12 ?

[Michael Niedermayer]

closing this as none of the affected people care enough to reply for 5 months, please reopen if you can test the suggested patch or have a better / different patch
