I have been looking at updating VLC to version 3, but as I am looking into = it I have run into a linking issue. I am looking for any help to resolve the iss= ue.
The issue is with VLC building a libtool convenience library called libcomp= at to provide various substitute functions which don't exist on OpenBSD, e.g. ffs= ll(), strnstr() and tdestroy(). Here is a start at an update plus FFmpeg 4.1 which is required for VLC 3. https://comstyle.com/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.diff https://comstyle.com/ffmpeg/vlc.diff libtool: link: cc -shared -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/libhttps_plugin.so access/= http/.libs/access.o .libs/libhttps_plugin.lax/libcompat.a/dummy.o .libs/l= ibhttps_plugin.lax/libcompat.a/ffsll.o .libs/libhttps_plugin.lax/libcompat.= a/strnstr.o .libs/libhttps_plugin.lax/libcompat.a/strverscmp.o .libs/libhtt= ps_plugin.lax/libcompat.a/tdestroy.o .libs/libhttps_plugin.lax/libvlc_http= =2Ea/dummy.o =2Elibs/libhttps_plugin.lax/libvlc_http.a/ffsll.o .libs/libhttps_plugin.lax= /libvlc_http.a/libvlc_http_la-chunked.o .libs/libhttps_plugin.lax/libvlc_ht= tp.a/libvlc_http_la-connmgr.o .libs/libhttps_plugin.lax/libvlc_http.a/libvl= c_http_la-file.o .libs/libhttps_plugin.lax/libvlc_http.a/libvlc_http_la-h1c= onn.o .libs/libhttps_plugin.lax/libvlc_http.a/libvlc_http_la-h2conn.o .libs= /libhttps_plugin.lax/libvlc_http.a/libvlc_http_la-h2frame.o .libs/libhttps_= plugin.lax/libvlc_http.a/libvlc_http_la-h2output.o .libs/libhttps_plugin.la= x/libvlc_http.a/libvlc_http_la-hpack.o .libs/libhttps_plugin.lax/libvlc_htt= p.a/libvlc_http_la-hpackenc.o .libs/libhttps_plugin.lax/libvlc_http.a/libvl= c_http_la-live.o .libs/libhttps_plugin.lax/libvlc_http.a/libvlc_http_la-mes= sage.o .libs/libhttps_plugin.lax/libvlc_http.a/libvlc_http_la-resource.o .l= ibs/libhttps_plugin.lax/libvlc_http.a/libvlc_http_la-tunnel.o .libs/libhttp= s_plugin.lax/libvlc_http.a/strnstr.o .libs/libhttps_plugin.lax/libvlc_http.= a/strverscmp.o .libs/libhttps_plugin.lax/libvlc_http.a/tdestroy.o -L/home= /ports/pobj/vlc-3.0.6/vlc-3.0.6/src/.libs -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/local/lib= -L../src/.libs -lvlccore -lidn -lintl -liconv -lc -ldbus-1 -lm -lpthread = -O2 -Wl,-z -Wl,defs -Wl,-retain-symbols-file,.libs/libhttps_plugin.exp ld: error: duplicate symbol: ffsll >>> defined at ffsll.c >>> .libs/libhttps_plugin.lax/libcompat.a/ffsll.o:(ffsll) >>> defined at ffsll.c >>> .libs/libhttps_plugin.lax/libvlc_http.a/ffsll.o:(.text+0x0) ld: error: duplicate symbol: strnstr >>> defined at strnstr.c >>> .libs/libhttps_plugin.lax/libcompat.a/strnstr.o:(strnstr) >>> defined at strnstr.c >>> .libs/libhttps_plugin.lax/libvlc_http.a/strnstr.o:(.text+0x0) ld: error: duplicate symbol: strverscmp >>> defined at strverscmp.c >>> .libs/libhttps_plugin.lax/libcompat.a/strverscmp.o:(strversc= mp) >>> defined at strverscmp.c >>> .libs/libhttps_plugin.lax/libvlc_http.a/strverscmp.o:(.text+= 0x0) ld: error: duplicate symbol: tdestroy >>> defined at tdestroy.c >>> .libs/libhttps_plugin.lax/libcompat.a/tdestroy.o:(tdestroy) >>> defined at tdestroy.c >>> .libs/libhttps_plugin.lax/libvlc_http.a/tdestroy.o:(.text+0x= 0)
