installation of spu-media lib

mickfromperth · Post by **mickfromperth** » Thu Nov 22, 2007 9:10 pm

OK. Just to be clear: when I install linux on my ps3, I still require the "ps3toolchain" to be installed before I can compile spu-medialib?

I get the impression from ooPo's comments on this page: http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?t=8494&start=90

that if your running on a ps3 already you already have the correct environment??

I can't install either the toolchain or spu-medialib and I'm wondering which one I need to tackle..

Spu-medialib requires compiler for spu and without it you cant make the library. If you have spe-elf-gcc or spu-gcc you should have the correct environment doing the compilation otherwise you have to install toolchain.

What kind of problem you are having with spu-medialib?

Ok. Combiled and installed libps3fb from svn.

Then, following the instrcutions on this page:
http://wiki.ps2dev.org/ps3:spu-medialib:install

I get to this step:
spu-medialib #./configure --prefix /usr

And here is the output..

mick@mick-desktop:~/build/spu-medialib$

I *think* I created the error by hacking together my own pkg-confg file for libspe2. Ubuntu's libspe2-dev doesn't come with a libspe2.pc file.. So I copied another similar file..

---
mick@mick-desktop:~/build/spu-medialib$ cat /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libspe2.pc
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=/usr
libdir=/usr/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include

Name: libspe2
Description: libspe2
Version: 2.2.0
Libs: -L${libdir}
Cflags: -I${includedir}
---

I've checked the directories stuff is accurate but I *really* have no idea about the Libs & Cflags settings.. Withouth the pc file I get..

No package 'libspe2' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBSPE2_CFLAGS
and LIBSPE2_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Please help! ;-)

well I have seen this one.. :-) Looked over it as well the first time.

check your libspe2 version. It needs 2.2.0 you probably have libspe 1.8 or something like that and it needs 2.2.0 or higher.

Thanks but no thats not it...

---

The reason that fails, is because there is no libspe2.pc so package config is failing to give any useful feedback. Maybe if someone could post the contents of there libspe2.pc file? I'm running ubunutu but I know that doens't have the pc file..

RobertW · Post by **RobertW** » Sat Nov 24, 2007 2:33 am

It should detect it without pc file. Check /etc/ldconfig.conf first if /usr/lib is included and do a ldconfig and try again.

If that doesn't work.

Code: Select all

localhost pkgconfig # cat libspe2.pc
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=/usr
libdir=/usr/lib
includedir=/usr/include

Name&#58; libspe2
Description&#58; A wrapper library to adapt the JSRE SPU usage model to SPUFS
Version&#58; 2.2.80
Requires&#58;
Conflicts&#58;
Libs&#58; -L$&#123;libdir&#125; -lspe2 -lrt -lpthread
Cflags&#58; -I$&#123;includedir&#125;

you probably should change the version

mickfromperth · Post by **mickfromperth** » Sat Nov 24, 2007 2:37 pm

Thanks. I upgraded to 2.2.80. it looks like my first workaround to the libspe2 issue was good enough. As now, with the latest libspe2, I get the same error as before..

I understand the error now, it saying i don't have a c compiler. But, I do (I don't know what I have though.. maybe there is a version error??)

i know, because I just compiled mplayer; and I compiled libps3fb before I started this one.. Here is the similar configure output from libps3fb..

Any tips on what to try next??

Have you tried --host instead of --build like the configure is suggesting?

mickfromperth · Post by **mickfromperth** » Sun Nov 25, 2007 11:02 pm

Hi panu,

No. I hadn't. I don't have a developer background and to be honest I'm not really sure what that output ("--build vs --host") refered to.

I have now tried to use --host but not knowing how it's used I may be braking it more... I've tried both host=ppc and --host=powerepc and the ./confifure seems to be "heaps" better.. But make now fails.

Appolgies upfront.. bere here is the [long] ./configure output (incase it's relavent...

And here is the make output (as you can see; no where near compile.. I think this boils down to ubuntu's missing *.pc file again.. As be the following unrelated posts with similar errors...

Hmm.. Not sure if this is due the include problem, but you could try to change
one include line in draw_rect.c and draw_rect.h. In those files there are probably lines stating

Code: Select all

#include <spu-medialib/data_2d.h>

Try to change them to

Code: Select all

#include "data_2d.h"

We are still experiencing some problems with mplayer shutdown but once these are resolved we wil try to get a "newer" rev out of the lib as well fixing these issues.
