So from a cross-compile and testing point of view libav is the way to go since the buildsystem person and funky architecture people have moved there.

(One of > my personal motivations for sorting this out). I can't make up my mind on that. On one hand it shouldn't be in oe-core since it's just fluff, but on the other hand having libav in oe-core would make a strong case to have everything working with libav and avoid having to have both ffmpeg and libav recipes. > This would of course be > protected by LICENSE_FLAGS as we currently do with gst-ffmpeg. I guess we'd need to do something similar to the gstreamer proposal: a ton of PACKAGECONFIG options to allow the recipe to drag in meta-multimedia dependencies. regards, Koen > > Thoughts? > > Cheers, > Paul > > > > -- > > Paul Eggleton > Intel Open Source Technology Centre > _______________________________________________ > Openembedded-core mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
