I'm still flailing but I've about given up on coming up with an LDFLAGS that bails me out. It occurs to me though that I haven't had this problem with anything else I've built from sources on my Pis and I wonder if it indicates an inadequacy in the configure script. The directory where my libraries are is a function of the machine type (arm-linux-gnueabihf), not something I picked arbitrarily. The 3 most recent things I've built from source are x264, aac, ffmpeg.
ffmpeg needed a configure line of ./configure --arch=armel --target-os=linux --enable-gpl --enable-libx264 --enable-nonfree x264 needed ./configure --host=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi --enable-static --disable-opencl aac needed ./configure --enable-shared --enable-static My point is that none needed an absolute path to the libraries, they're in a standard place (some standard anyway), once you consider the machine type and OS. There are 100 subdirectories in there used by other programs, but some of that may have been Raspbian's choosing. I tried to match the configure variables used by Lives against values from other programs then fed in ./configure --host=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi still didn't work. Somewhere on some back burner I'd like to get this to build under i386 (or amd64) OpenBSD but that's a whole different project. Less simple than this one. I just tried editing all mentions of x264 out of a makefile and still got: make[3]: Entering directory '/usr/src/misc/lives/lives-2.8.3/lives-plugins/plug /bin/bash ../../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -DHAVE_LIBAV_LIBS=1 -DHA libtool: link: gcc -shared -fPIC -DPIC .libs/flv_decoder_la-flv_decoder.o .li /usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libx264.a(common.o): relocation R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC a /usr/local/lib/libx264.a: error adding symbols: Bad value collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Makefile:736: recipe for target 'flv_decoder.la' failed make[3]: *** [flv_decoder.la] Error 1 In ./configure --help I don't see an option to leave out x264 -- Credit is the root of all evil. - AB1JX ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Lives-users mailing list Lives-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lives-users
