madplay: add patch to switch to the new ALSA API

2010-02-24T21:45:30Z

madplay was failing to build with errors such as : audio_alsa.o: In function `config': audio_alsa.c:(.text+0x200): undefined reference to `snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate_near@ALSA_0.9' audio_alsa.c:(.text+0x25c): undefined reference to `snd_pcm_hw_params_set_buffer_time_near@ALSA_0.9' audio_alsa.c:(.text+0x284): undefined reference to `snd_pcm_hw_params_get_buffer_size@ALSA_0.9' audio_alsa.c:(.text+0x2a4): undefined reference to `snd_pcm_hw_params_set_period_time_near@ALSA_0.9' audio_alsa.c:(.text+0x2d4): undefined reference to `snd_pcm_hw_params_get_period_size@ALSA_0.9' The ALSA library uses symbol versioning by default, to handle ABI changes. However, since uClibc doesn't seem to support symbol versioning, we disable this when building the ALSA library by passing --without-versioned. However, madplay relies on the old ALSA ABI, so even without symbol versioning, references to versioned symbols are generated (functions with the same name, but different API, exist in the old and new API). The easiest solution is to switch madplay to the new API. This is done thanks to a patch written by Micha Nelissen and available at http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.audio.mad.devel/729.

mplayer: use UTF-8 charset to avoid iconv dependency

2010-02-23T19:34:56Z

The mplayer configure script was failing with: Checking for iconv program ... no No working iconv program found, use --charset=UTF-8 to continue anyway. If you also have problems with iconv library functions use --charset=noconv. Messages in the GTK-2 interface will be broken then. Therefore, we pass --charset=UTF-8 instead of --charset=US-ASCII.

alsa-utils: force the variant of ncurses library

2010-02-18T18:08:41Z

Two variants of the ncurses library exist: the normal one, and the ncursesw one, which has support for wide char. Currently, Buildroot only builds the normal variant (the second variant requires --enable-widec while compiling ncurses). Unfortunately, when libncursesw is installed on the host, the configure script of alsa-utils finds /usr/bin/ncursesw5-config and thinks that the target has this version. Unfortunately, as this is not the case, it causes a configure failure when trying to link a sample program against libpanelw (which is part of ncurses). Therefore, we force the libncurses variant used by alsa-utils to the normal variant. Later on, if needed, support for the wide-char variant of the libncurses library could be added.

alsa-utils: alsamixer need libform, libmenu & libpanel (from ncurses)

Without this patch alsamixer complains about missing libs and ldd says: libform.so.5 => not found libmenu.so.5 => not found libpanel.so.5 => not found libncurses.so.5 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x4000e000) libasound.so.2 => /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 (0x40056000) ...

gstreamer-good: add speex dependancy

Otherwise, even if speex is selected, as gstreamer is compiled first, speex plugin is not activated/built. Signed-off-by: Julien Boibessot Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

Temporary fix for alsa-lib breakage with --disable-pcm

2010-02-14T11:10:38Z

The current version of alsa-lib (1.0.22) does not build when --disable-pcm is used at configure time. I've reported the issue at https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=4913. In the mean time, we can prevent the user from not selecting PCM support by using the following patch. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni
