 Posted: Tue Jan 29, 2008 6:19 pm Post subject: avidemux is slow to start, SDL the cause? [SOLVED in 2.4.1] |
 |
|
I recently upgraded to the unmasked avidemux 2.4 in portage, and I've noticed there is quite a significant delay between starting avidemux2_gtk and the gui appearing, up to around 10 seconds.
SDL used to be optional via a use flag, but no longer, with the following note in the ebuild as an explanation; | Code: | # Commented out options cause compilation errors, some
# might need -Wl,--as-needed in LDFLAGS and all USE
# flags disabled for reproducing. -drac
# TODO. Needs to be fixed, or reported upstream. |
I disabled SDL support in the ebuild myself and recompiled, the delay is gone and I experienced no other issues.
Has anyone else noticed the same delay, and would it be worth filing a bug report for (seeing as how they have a reason for forcibly enabling SDL in the first place)?

No, I did not experience anything like that.

Thanks for the feedback.
I just updated to 2.4.1 yesterday, and the issue is no longer there even though sdl is still forcibly enabled, so I suppose I should mark this as solved.
I'd still like to know what caused it in 2.4 though...

There is a reason we don't have USE sdl in avidemux-2.4.1.ebuild, https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=210603
Looks like it is missing -lpthread from somewhere when built with LDFLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed" or similar..
we are accepting patches. |

Yeah, I noticed that in the ebuild whan I was adding it to an overlay to remove sdl; | avidemux-2.4.ebuild: | # Commented out options cause compilation errors, some
# might need -Wl,--as-needed in LDFLAGS and all USE
# flags disabled for reproducing. -drac
# TODO. Needs to be fixed, or reported upstream. |
oss and nls are were commented out too.
I have -Wl,--as-needed in LDFLAGS, FWIW.
Anyway, I'd love to help if I could, but I'm not much of a coder...
