#314: OpenAL device does not work on OS X ----------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: nieder | Type: enhancement Status: new | Priority: normal Component: avdevice | Version: git-master Keywords: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Reproduced: 0 Analyzed: 0 | ----------------------+-------------------------- configure is not set to find openal on OS X. The fix for the linker check is easy: add "-Wl,-framework,OpenAL" to the list of flags to check {{{ -enabled openal && { { for al_libs in "${OPENAL_LIBS}" "-lopenal" "-lOpenAL32"; do +enabled openal && { { for al_libs in "${OPENAL_LIBS}" "-lopenal" "-lOpenAL32" "-Wl,-framework,OpenAL"; do }}} I don't know how to fix the header check to look for multiple possibilities, but on OS X the header in the OpenAL framework is found in OpenAL/al.h (not AL/al.h like in linux). If I change the header check in configure and the includes in libavdevice/openal-dec.c, the build and linkage works well. However, running 'ffmpeg -f openal' as suggested in the manual fails with an malloc error, so this might just not be doable on OS X. {{{ nieder $ /usr/local/ffmpeg-git/bin/ffmpeg -list_devices true -f openal -i dummy out.ogg ffmpeg version N-31036-g65eae2a, Copyright (c) 2000-2011 the FFmpeg developers built on Jun 27 2011 10:29:19 with gcc 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493) configuration: --prefix=/usr/local/ffmpeg-git --mandir=/usr/local /ffmpeg-git/share/man --disable-static --enable-shared --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-postproc --enable-pthreads --enable-x11grab --enable-bzlib --enable-libcelt --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable- libopencore-amrwb --enable-libdirac --enable-libfreetype --enable- libmp3lame --enable-libopenjpeg --enable-librtmp --enable-libschroedinger --enable-libspeex --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid --enable-openal --enable-zlib --disable- debug --extra-cflags='-I/sw/lib/libspeex1/include -I/sw/include -I/usr/X11R6/include' --extra-ldflags='-L/sw/lib/libspeex1/lib -L/sw/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib' libavutil 51. 10. 0 / 51. 10. 0 libavcodec 53. 7. 0 / 53. 7. 0 libavformat 53. 4. 0 / 53. 4. 0 libavdevice 53. 2. 0 / 53. 2. 0 libavfilter 2. 24. 0 / 2. 24. 0 libswscale 2. 0. 0 / 2. 0. 0 libpostproc 51. 2. 0 / 51. 2. 0 [openal @ 0x200a800] List of OpenAL capture devices on this system: [openal @ 0x200a800] Built-in Microphone dummy: Immediate exit requested nieder $ /usr/local/ffmpeg-git/bin/ffmpeg -f openal -i 'Built-in Microphone' out.ogg ffmpeg version N-31036-g65eae2a, Copyright (c) 2000-2011 the FFmpeg developers built on Jun 27 2011 10:29:19 with gcc 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493) configuration: --prefix=/usr/local/ffmpeg-git --mandir=/usr/local /ffmpeg-git/share/man --disable-static --enable-shared --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-postproc --enable-pthreads --enable-x11grab --enable-bzlib --enable-libcelt --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable- libopencore-amrwb --enable-libdirac --enable-libfreetype --enable- libmp3lame --enable-libopenjpeg --enable-librtmp --enable-libschroedinger --enable-libspeex --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid --enable-openal --enable-zlib --disable- debug --extra-cflags='-I/sw/lib/libspeex1/include -I/sw/include -I/usr/X11R6/include' --extra-ldflags='-L/sw/lib/libspeex1/lib -L/sw/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib' libavutil 51. 10. 0 / 51. 10. 0 libavcodec 53. 7. 0 / 53. 7. 0 libavformat 53. 4. 0 / 53. 4. 0 libavdevice 53. 2. 0 / 53. 2. 0 libavfilter 2. 24. 0 / 2. 24. 0 libswscale 2. 0. 0 / 2. 0. 0 libpostproc 51. 2. 0 / 51. 2. 0 mpeg(49840,0xa025b720) malloc: *** error for object 0x1e2c0e0: incorrect checksum for freed object - object was probably modified after being freed. *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug mpeg(49840,0xa025b720) malloc: *** error for object 0x1e2c0e0: incorrect checksum for freed object - object was probably modified after being freed. *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug [openal @ 0x200a800] Error: ALC Invalid Device Bus error }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://ffmpeg.org/trac/ffmpeg/ticket/314> FFmpeg <http://ffmpeg.org> FFmpeg issue tracker
