Compiling libvpx on Solaris x64

[Ben Hood]

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right list but I trying to compile libvpx
as a 64 bit library on Solaris 11.3

It seems to assemble an ELF32 libvpx.a.

It also results in uncompilable tests. I could ignore the test
failures if the image were linkable, but I'd like it to be 64 bit.

I'm using commit 627a3ddc with yasm 1.3.0 using the following flags:

CFLAGS="-m64" CXXFLAGS="-m64" ./configure --target=x86_64-solaris-gcx

(verbose output below)

Running gmake 3.82 results in a lot of warnings and right at the end
some CXX warnings, which I assume are ignorable in C but not so in
CXX:

[CXX] test/../third_party/libwebm/mkvparser.cpp.o
test/../third_party/libwebm/mkvparser.cpp: In function ‘bool
mkvparser::isnan(double)’:
test/../third_party/libwebm/mkvparser.cpp:35:40: error: ‘isnan’ is not
a member of ‘std’
inline bool isnan(double val) { return std::isnan(val); }

Maybe I'm doing something obviously wrong? Any pointers would be appreciated.

Many thanks,

Ben

For now to reduce the noise you could add '--disable-unit-tests
--disable-libyuv --disable-webm-io' to avoid any C++. In the end
you'll probably want webm-io at least, see the notes below.

There's a workaround for visual studio that might be adapted.

I think it's been a while since any solaris builds have been done,
thanks for giving it a try.

This is probably expecting gawk. A configure search for the right
binary could help.

-E is a POSIX addition, but I don't think this is for anything
meaningful, so can probably be ignored for now.

James,

Many thanks for the heads up.

Indeed, running with the following options seems to work:

CFLAGS="-m64" ./configure --disable-unit-tests --disable-libyuv
--disable-webm-io --prefix=/opt/fs_libs/ --target=x86_64-solaris-gcc

However, if libwebm is required, this won't compile with gcc/Solaris,
for the reasons outlined previously.

You mentioned that there was a workaround for VS that could be tweaked
- is this in a README somewhere?

Sure - I appreciate that Solaris might not be one the supported platforms.

Indeed - I aliased awk to gawk and the awk issues went away.

I also aliased grep to ggrep, but this did not help much. But as you
it is probably not so important as it doesn't actually cause the build
to fail.

Great, that' a good start.

Strictly speaking it isn't required, but it's convenient for the
examples to be able to handle webm files rather than a simple and
custom format.

Sorry, I meant it was within mkvparser.cpp itself:
