Can't emerge mplayer

[mistersnorfles]

I am unable to emerge mplayer...I get the following error:

Any ideas what might be going on here?

Hi,
Can you post your emerge --info please ?

I found this on BGO :

"hardened" causes various compiler and linker options to be switched on by default, amongst other things. Usually these options don't cause any problem. However some packages, particularly those with hand-written 32-bit x86 assembler code can fail. This is common in the media packages where the only way to get any kind of decent throughput from the 32-bit x86 architecture with gcc is to write low-level assembler code by hand, and this is often not compatible with the hardened compiler options.

It's quite an old bug but it seems to be the same problem (assembler code with gcc hardened) :

Code: Select all

cabac.h:526: error: PIC register `%ebx' clobbered in `asm'

Just post emerge --info. USE flags and kernel version don't help much. See this first though:
[bug=175627]mplayer failed to compile (can't find a register in class `BREG'...)[/bug]

esp. comment #15

Hello, bug. Seems I've got it as well in hardened profile. Trying with a vanilla compiler now...

Edit: with nopienossp specs, mplayer compiles fine. Oh well, that seems to be fixed for now then

Hey,

got the same problem for months now. But what does

with nopienossp specs, mplayer compiles fine

mean? I'm sorry, I couldn't find any information on "nopienossp" - what do I have to do?

Thanks in advance,
Max

[bunder]

they're use flags iirc. "nopie" "nossp"

but those only look applicable to gcc, and not mplayer itself.

[webmaxx]

Ah well I see. I'm trying to build using gcc-hardened-nopienossp right now. But I'm wondering why I couldn't find anything by typing "nopienossp" in google...

Anyway, thank you for help!

[newtonian]

they're use flags iirc. "nopie" "nossp"

but those only look applicable to gcc, and not mplayer itself.

So how do you apply "nopie" and "nossp" use flags to mplayer without effecting the entire system.

I don't want to put nopie and nossp to /etc/make.conf as that will affect the entire system. I don't think adding nopie and nossp to /etc/portage/package.use will make a difference.

Should we use gcc-config switch to i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardenednopiessp, emerge mplayer then switch back to i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6?

I'm not clear on the steps needed to get mplayer compiled under the hardended profile.

Cheers,

If think just nopie should suffice. Anyway gcc-config -l will list the available gcc profiles. pick the hardenednopie profile: gcc-config 3 (if the 2rd profile is nopie). Then source /etc/profile. Next emerge mplayer. Then use gcc-config again to activate the hardened gcc profile and run source /etc/profile again. A small script that does this and wraps emerge might be a better solution so you don't forget to return to the hardened gcc profile afterwards.
