[Cross compiling] - Need to pass the --arch=arm to ffmpeg build when cross compiling - graysky - 2019-05-18
I am building Kodi for armv7h on another ARM machine that runs armv8. I get this errors on the ffmpeg step:
Code:
...
src/libavutil/aarch64/bswap.h:31:5: error: invalid 'asm': invalid operand for code 'w'
__asm__("rev16 %w0, %w0" : "+r"(x));
^~~~~~~
...From googling this, it seems the problem is due to ffmpeg is including headers from the armv8 system, rather than from the cross-compiled target environment. I think the solution might be to pass the --arm switch when cmake starts building ffmpeg.
Does Kodi offer any switch I can add to cmake to set this to only affect the ffmpeg build?
The following patch is a dirty hack I put together, but it allows for a successful build:
Code:

Hi,
Kodi offers use external ffmpeg option to compile Kodi.
-DENABLE_INTERNAL_FFMPEG=OFF
-DFFMPEG_PATH=</path/to/your/ffmpeg>
Maybe it's helpful for you.
