Compilation on debian wheezy (64bit) fails

[eleon216]

I use xvdr for over a year now on debian wheezy, and got recently issues with compiling.

the first thing (which I could fix very easily) the vdr-dev package in debian puts the libsi-headerfiles in /usr/include/vdr/libsi not /usr/include/libsi which is very easy to fix, I just changed it in src/live/livepatfilter.h

but then I get this error:

I'm not a programmer.

it's debian whezzy with vdr-1.7.28

[carsten12]

I can confirm this build problem on Ubuntu Precise.

The include problem is well known, it's because Debian derivatives have lbsi includes in /usr/include/vdr and not in /usr/include. The other problem can be fixed by adding -fPIC during compile time, but will not succeed because the libvdr-xvdr.so is build in a place where the Debian tools don't expect it.

The libvdr-xvdr.so itself is - by the way - functional when renamed and moved into the plugin lib dir.

BR, Carsten.

[eleon216]

Thanks carsten. Adding -fPIC in the Makefile worked. I'm not sure if this issues should stay open or not? I can live with this fix, but it would be nice if it would compile out of the box.

[carsten12]

Definitely not. And now I have to say that I have stuttering output on my OpenELEC XBMC with latest addon. I get one picture every second, audio is ok. So it isn't functional. I use vdr 1.7.27.

[tkurbad]

The issue with the include path exists on Gentoo, too.

[Andi-bz]

can someone explain how to add the -fPIC? Thanks

[hoedlmoser]

carsten12, if you are using VDR 1.7.27, why don't you use branch master-pre-vdr-1.7.34. 1st I also thougt there is something wrong, but then I've seen major changes in the Makefile in commit https://github.com/pipelka/vdr-plugin-xvdr/commit/0ed81b855ad8c021306b575bb32032917806088a and the comment "for backward-compatibility please use the "master-pre-vdr-1.7.34" branch" and that branch is really working.

so, compilation in Debian is like following git clone https://github.com/pipelka/vdr-plugin-xvdr.git cd vdr-plugin-xvdr/ git checkout master-pre-vdr-1.7.34 dpkg-buildpackage -us -tc

[carsten12]

I'll try out tomorrow and give feedback, but I see why you are right...

[eleon216]

@hoedlmoser: I just tried the master-pre-vdr-1.7.34 branch, and it's working like a charm. Thanks!

[Benvandamme]

Where do i have to add the -fpic Parameter ? i tried to add it in the makefile itself, in the .global and .config, but the plugin won't build on archlinux.

[seahawk1986]

Using a recent vdr version >= 1.7.36 there is nothing to it (the vdr package has to be installed first): https://github.com/seahawk1986/vdr4arch/blob/yaarch/plugins/vdr-xvdr-git/PKGBUILD

Otherwise you can add -fpic to the CXXFLAGS variable

[hoedlmoser]

@Benvandamme which version of VDR are you using?

[Benvandamme]

Now Im running 1.7.38 with the packages from seahawks link and everything works fine. Thank you for your help.
