Linux version of PMS with statically linked ffmpeg/mencoder

[langerak]

Is libmediainfo a requirement for using PMS? If not, we should leave it out of the script. If it is a requirement, there will be a problem with building static libraries for this particular case.

Please don't waste any time/effort on this. It's not possible to make portable shared libraries on Linux. I left it out of the ticket for a reason.

Last version of the script converts libmediainfo.a to libmediainfo.so. It is lame workaround but it helps to produce as portable library as possible.

Code: Select all

> ldd ./libmediainfo.so
   linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xb7771000)
   libm.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0xb7130000)
   libc.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0xb6fcf000)
   /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7772000)


I performed testes on clean installation of Centos 6 and PS3MS have no problems in loading such library. I think we can give it a try.

Can you provide the new and updated script here for download? I'll test it out then.

I have tried to merge the OSX and Linux versions of the script in this new script "build-pms-binaries.sh".
It looks like it works on OSX. Can you test this and see if it works on Linux as well?

*edit* Forgot to uncomment a bunch of lines, fixed now.

Good work, Raptor399. I made some tweaks to run it on Linux. Now everything seems to be fine.

[Raptor399]

Tested it on OSX again, it still works there as well.
Committed in r851.

Thanks for the hard work!

Great news.
LinuxDefaultPaths.java still needs some work. getMencoderPath have to return correct path for bundled tools or gracefully fallback to system path if not found. I can make patch if necessary.

I won't mingle in the statically linked binaries for Linux discussion; leaving this one to one of the other devs.

Hi Happy.neko,

I tried to use the binaries you posted in the 4th post in this thread with PMS 1.40 on my QNAP x86 box but after a few seconds of playback, it starts to stutter really bad. I even tried to build my own binaries using your script but same thing happens ... Any ideas what's going on?

Thanks,
Cristian.

I managed to use the script to build everything on Ubuntu 10.04, but the search path used by the script needs to consider /usr/local/bin. On a side note, a completely build with the latest components supports transcoding hi10p x264
