Hello.
The package supercollider-sc3-plugins fails to build from source on
ppc64el, with the same kind of error, reported on #766630 that caused,
supercollider to fail.
It is an issue with altivec implementation on ppc64el, which actually
needs to be corrected.
The definitive fix would be to write ppc64el altivec code, which is not
a quick job. Just as it was done for supercollider, disabling altivec
for ppc64el at least allows it to build.
That is in the patch attached.
Regards
Fernando

Dear Maintainer,
The package fails to build from source on ppc64el because the usage of altivec
is not implemented for the architecture.
So, the workaround was to disable it for ppc64el.
While at it, Konstantinos also went ahead and fixed it for ppc32. He tested it
and it builds.
So there are 2 patches attached:
- ppc64el.debdiff which contains the disabling of altivec/vsx usage for ppc64el
- altivec-powerpc.debdiff which contains Konstantinos' modifications.
Thanks.
Fernando

I'm pretty sure this is wrong, as this will override any other
setting. the flag needs to be appended.

Hi,
libpostproc currently FTBFS on powerpcspe like this:
==
dh build-arch
dh_testdir -a
debian/rules override_dh_auto_configure
make[1]: Entering directory `/«PKGBUILDDIR»'
./configure --enable-shared --prefix=/usr
You need a compiler that supports {} in AltiVec vector declarations.
If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest
version from Git. If the latest version fails, report the problem to the
libav-u...@libav.org mailing list or IRC #libav on irc.freenode.net.
Include the log file "config.log" produced by configure as this will help
solving the problem.
make[1]: *** [override_dh_auto_configure] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/«PKGBUILDDIR»'
make: *** [build-arch] Error 2
======
AltiVec is not available on powerpcspe (only on powerpc). Therefore propposing
the attached patch.

OK, will try to upload this later today (no promises though). FWIW, I wouldn't mind an NMU for this change, although I'd try changing the explicit setting with DEB_*FLAGS_APPEND, so that we still have the optimization and hardening flags (I believe cdbs recently fixed this usage). > > And you're right, that powerpc is supposed to support non-altivec > systems as well.

Possibly it could make sense to optimize the server and unit generators only. Hmm, if a solution can be found using ld paths (like libav), maybe this can also be used to enable sse in the i386 version... I'd have to investigate further. -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

Ok, the problem is that recently gcc enables also __APPLE_ALTIVEC__ as well, which defines the vector keyword. However, that proves just how bad of a choice this keyword was, as it collides with both STL and Boost -if you leave it out you'll eventually have a failed compile at: /usr/include/boost/mpl/vector.hpp:36:73: fatal error: boost/mpl/__attribute__((altivec(vector__)))/__attribute__((altivec (vector__)))20.hpp: No such file or directory # include BOOST_PP_STRINGIZE(boost/mpl/vector/AUX778076_VECTOR_HEADER) (see how vector is replaced with _attribute__((altivec(vector__))) That has been a problem ever since, and the only solution is to #undef vector and usually typedef new types, that map to eg. __vector float, etc. > Perhaps a more correct patch would alter the logic in > server/supernova/CMakeLists.txt to allow passing the > required flags just to supernova That alone won't do for the reasons above. > I'm somewhat wary of adding this patch this close to the freeze... Sure, that could come after the freeze, I guess the most important one would be to just disable altivec for now for ppc64le only, both powerpc/ppc64 have altivec by default so that won't break the existing packages. And you're right, that powerpc is supposed to support non-altivec systems as well. I was thinking that maybe it would be a good idea to build a separate -altivec package if there is interest -and not too much trouble :) Regards Konstantinos pgpcPMpPh_DRi.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

Doing a simple : $ gcc -dM -E - < /dev/null|grep ALTIVEC #define __ALTIVEC__ 1 #define __APPLE_ALTIVEC__ 1 on a ppc64le system will show why explicitly disabling it is needed. Evenmore so, even if it worked, much of the code assumes 32-bit pointers (eg. a table lookup in server/plugins/OscUGens.cpp:1541, so the code would break on ppc64le as it's 64-bit and little-endian.

Bug#766630: supercollider: ftbfs on ppc64el -- error: invalid parameter combination for AltiVec intrinsic
Source: supercollider
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: debian-powe...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: ppc64el
Dear Maintainer,
The package fails to build from source on ppc64el because the usage of altivec
is not implemented for the architecture.
So, the workaround was to disable it for ppc64el.
While at it, Konstantinos also went ahead and fixed it for ppc32. He tested it
and it builds.
So there are 2 patches attached:
- ppc64el.debdiff which contains the disabling of altivec/vsx usage for ppc64el
- altivec-powerpc.debdiff which contains Konstantinos' modifications.
Thanks.
Fernando

Hi.
I just installed lenny on an iBook G3 that I own and I needed to see
some lecture videos, but it seems that mplayer is compiled with altivec
enabled and it gives me an illegal instruction signal and dies.
This seems *very* similar to bug #482717 (BTW, the pointer there to the
mplayer mailing list is very interesting).
If any further information is needed, please let me know.

I just recompiled the mplayer2 package without the flag
--enable-runtime-cpudetection on this notebook and it works perfectly.
If all else fails, perhaps it is the case of building two packages: one
without altivec and another with altivec.
I have not tried to debug this further (I have a baby that is *very* soon
going to be born and all the preparations are taking most of my time and my
wife's).

Altivec
Hi, I notice in recent changelog of VLC that apparently it is now built with altivec on PowerPC, as a fix for bug#660936. Is that ok? I mean, do we no longer support non-altivec PowerPC machines, or is it somehow ensured that only an Altivec plugin is affected, not all code? For 32 bit x86 I believe it is ok to optimize for 486 (i.e. we no longer support 386) but not (generally) to optimize for 686. In the past Altivec was similar to 686 (i.e. only optimize when also providing a non-optimized variant or plugin). I am unaware if that has changed, or if perhaps there is some official place to lookup current status. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
Bug#627197: mplayer2 dies with signal 4 (illegal instruction) on an Altivec-enabled iBook G4
Package: mplayer2
Version: 2.0-54-gd33877a-1
Severity: important
Hi there.
The machine where I do a good amount of my development is an iBook G4 and I
was just trying to play a video, and I am having problems with it dying with
a signal 4 (illegal instruction).
I have not yet verified what instruction is the one that is making it die,
but this is somewhat surprising: I would expect this to happen with an
Altivec binary being run on a non-Altivec enabled processor (e.g., my iBook
G3), but not in this case.
Of course, I can give further details, but as I said in another e-mail, I am
busy moving home etc.
Thanks,
Rogério Brito.
