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.
