way to fix ffmpeg-devel build on amd64 [Was: amd64: cc -dumpmachine [ffmpeg]]

[Andriy Gapon]

I've already sent this to ahze@, but I thought I'd forward this here
since multimedia@ is registered as a maintainer of the port.

P.S. Kris is CC-ed just in case.

Michael,

I've noticed that ffmpeg-devel has been updated recently, both upstream
and port-wise, but it still doesn't compile on amd64.
I've done some googling and found the following post:
http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2007-April/026482.html

To be honest, I've understood less than 10% of the discussion in that
thread about relocations, registers and so on. Not sure what the patch
at the end of the post actually does (maybe disables assembly
completely?), but it allowed compilation to proceed further.

Still port build failed at a later step:

cc -shared -Wl,-soname,libavcodec.so.1 -Wl,--warn-common
-L/usr/local/lib -fPIC -rdynamic -export-dynamic
-Wl,-rpath-link,"/usr/ports/multimedia/ffmpeg-devel/work/ffmpeg-2007-04-18"/libavcodec

gmake: *** [lib] Error 2
*** Error code 2

Stop in /usr/ports/multimedia/ffmpeg-devel.

It seems that on amd64 multimedia/libdts goes through extra step to
specify that dependents should link with -ldts_pic. I am not sure why
ffmeg-devel didn't do that, but after I manually changed config.mak the
build was able to complete successfully!

Hope this is of any help.
