Hi,

I see you are working on the patches. Can you tell me when you are done,
so I can apply them upstream?

Best regards

Burkhard

Subject: gavl: fixes

hi all,

i'm currently trying to modernize the gmerlin stack in Debian (again),
mostly because the last releases from 10 years ago still use GTK-2 which
is a dead horse by now.

while doing so, i found a couple of smallish issues, that you might want
to fix upstream.

please find patches under [1].
Those prefixed with "DEBIAN_" are believed to be Debian specific and
*probably* not usable directly for inclusion (but feel free to include
them nevertheless).

i'm starting with gavl, but will (slowly) proceed to the other
components (that is: gmerlin, gmerlin_avdecoder, gmerlin_encoders), and
will probably send some more emails similar to this one.


on thing i already noticed in multiple components, is that there is a
typo in AC_C99_FUNC_LRINTF (as found in acinclude.m4) that clears any
user-supplied CFLAGS and LIBS.
(there's a fix for this in the patches)

also, the configure checks use AC_TRY_RUN liberally, which is fine as
long as you are compiling on the machine that will eventually run the
binaries, but is problematic if you want to cross-compile (e.g. building
arm-binaries (think raspberry) on an amd64 machine; where you obviously
won't be able to *run* the binaries on the build host).
often it is enough to use AC_TRY_COMPILE or AC_TRY_LINK instead of
AC_TRY_RUN.
I might be provide patches (e.g. in the case of "gavl") or not,
depending on the complexity of the tests (and my time).

still functional)
