The first build of bs1770gain on the autobuilders showed an error on at least the mipsel architecture, that look like this:ffsox_frame_convert.c: In function 'convert_s16i_s8i': ffsox_frame_convert.c:143:6: error: cast increases required alignment of target type [-Werror=cast-align] rp=(R *)p->fr->frame->data[0]; \ ^ ffsox_frame_convert.c:157:1: note: in expansion of macro 'CONVERT_II' CONVERT_II(s16,s8,int16_t,int8_t,CONVERT_INT_INT_II) ^ ffsox_frame_convert.c: In function 'convert_s32i_s8i': ffsox_frame_convert.c:143:6: error: cast increases required alignment of target type [-Werror=cast-align] rp=(R *)p->fr->frame->data[0]; \ ^ ffsox_frame_convert.c:158:1: note: in expansion of macro 'CONVERT_II' I'm not quite sure how to fix it.
"p->fr->frame->data[0]" is a generic pointer defined in the "AVFrame" structure from the FFmpeg API. It is of type "uint8_t" (cf. e.g. top of https://www.ffmpeg.org/doxygen/2.3/structAVFrame.html) but may point to data of an arbitrary type. The code triggering the error cast the (generic) pointer back to it's real type.
Those kinds of interfaces utilizing generic pointers which has to be cast back their real type are a common C technique and not an error.
To fix the error drop "-Wcast-align" from "CFLAGS" in the respective "Makefile.am".
The fix is available with version 0.4.4 available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/bs1770gain/files/bs1770gain/0.4.4/.
