nvmpi not enabled in ffmpeg when using --enable-shared #106

Open G4GUO opened 2 years ago

G4GUO commented 2 years ago

I am trying to use hardware decoding with https://github.com/robagar/h264decoder It seems as is if this library requires avcodec to be built as a shared object. If I try to build ffmpeg with --enable-nvmpi --enable-shared, the version of ffmpeg I get does not have the nvmpi codecs included, and I get a message telling me there is a clash between the two options. This only seems to apply to libavcodec.so all the other libraries build fine as shared. If I build it as static there is no problem but it is not what I need. jetson-ffmpeg builds both static and shared libraries so it should be possible. I have got a bit stuck on this, so suggestions would be welcomed

I just did it. You need to export to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH where you installed the library.

For example, if you installed using ./configure ... --prefix=/usr/local

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Do you need to set the library path when you are building https://github.com/robagar/h264decoder ? or when you are building ffmpeg? I get the incompatibility warning when I build ffmpeg as shared.

@G4GUO I am not sure what you are trying to do? Or if you are confused about where to open issues. This is a issue for a ffmpeg project targeting jetson nano nvidia. From the link you mention that's something for raspberry pi. I am not getting what you are trying to do...

I am trying to build libavcodec.so with nvmpi support.

I didn't want to open an issue here, but as this is not an NVIDIA supported project where else could I ask for help?

The issue seems to be the combination of using --enable-nvmpi --enable-shared when building the patched version of ffmpeg.

It builds ok but when I try to use it I get a message saying --enable-nvmpi --enable-shared are incompatible options and when I list the codecs the nvidia hardware ones are missing.

(The linked project is simply a Python callable h.264 decoder based on libavcodec, it works fine on my nano/XavierNX hardware but of course doesn't support NVIDIA hw decoding at present)

hum... TLDR you are missing something on your build of this ffmpeg. you are not making sudo make install or exporting the built libraries.

G4GUO commented 2 years ago

It does build a new shared version but when I run the ffmpeg it creates I get told the option of --enable-nvmpi and --enable-shared are inconsistent. All the required input .so files exist. I suspect something in the make/cmake process is not right. I was hoping someone else had seen this and knew of a quick fix. Thanks for taking the time to look at it.

If you read calmly what I wrote and research about it you will find the answer to your problem. As I said your are not (installing properly...) exporting the built libraries. Linux doesn't know where they are .... Unfortunately I don't have time to walk you through.

To the best of my knowledge I am exporting the built libraries correctly, on my first attempt I wasn't, but I corrected that weeks ago. Let's simply agree to disagree. I need to re-exam the patch file, as while it works perfectly with a static build, it does not seem to work correctly with a shared build of ffmpeg.
