[linuxtv-softmpeg] libsoftmpeg w/ cle266 hardware decoder

[Nicolas Huillard <nhuillard@ghs.fr>]

Hi all,

I tried to compile 
http://crp.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/libsoftmpeg-cle266-0.02.tgz (described 
in 
http://www.linuxtv.org/mailinglists/linuxtv-softmpeg/2004/04-2004/msg00000.html 
and 
http://www.linuxtv.org/mailinglists/linuxtv-softmpeg/2004/03-2004/msg00031.html 
with little success...

1) Colin suggests to add the "framebuffer offset patch" provided, but do 
not says with version of DirectFB it applies to : I tried over last 
week's CVS, but a lot of hand modifications are needed (quite obvious 
for most of them)

2) after I had compiled and installed the patched DirectFB, and 
recompiled FusionSound, adjusted the source locations (automake 1.4 
doesn't like source files with a relative directory : "src/Makefile.am" 
references "../libcle266mpeg/cle266mpegdec.c" et al.)

3) at the end of the compile of :

gcc -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/include/directfb -D_REENTRANT 
-I/usr/include/fusionsound -I/usr/include/directfb -g -O2 -Wall -o 
.libs/dfb_ts dfb_ts.o -Wl,-uIFusionSound_default 
../src/.libs/libsoftmpeg.so /usr/lib/libfusionsound.so -lavcodec 
-L/usr/lib/directfb-0.9.21/interfaces/IFusionSound 
/usr/lib/directfb-0.9.21/interfaces/IFusionSound/libifusionsound.so 
/usr/lib/libdirectfb.so /usr/lib/libfusion.so /usr/lib/libdirect.so -lz 
-lpthread -ldl -Wl,--rpath 
-Wl,/usr/lib/directfb-0.9.21/interfaces/IFusionSound

../src/.libs/libsoftmpeg.so: undefined reference to `dfb_memcpy'

This symbol seems to have be removed from DirectFB : the only reference 
to it is in Changes. No other source file defines or uses it...
No matter what I compile, install, etc. The is still this missing symbol.
I must miss something obvious, but I don't know what.

All this leads to the conclusion : is there a cleaned-up code somewhere 
for that libsoftmpeg w/ cle266 hardware decoder, along with clear 
dependences. I think I am good at packaging clean code, but not at all 
at debugging and tracing linking errors... My goal is to provide 
precompiled Debian packages for all the stuff I use.

Thanks for any help in having this godd stuff working,
