/usr/bin/ld: /home/minipc/tvheadend/libav_static/build/ffmpeg/lib/libx264.a(opencl.o): undefined reference to symbol 'dlsym@@GLIBC_2.4'

I was hoping that someone might be able to help with this. Cant finish compiling on 2 different arm boxes and get exact same error. Been searching for hours to try to resolve.

From Stackoverflow

In general, the man page for the symbol you can't find tells you what libraries you need to link in. In your case:

http://linux.die.net/man/3/dlsym

Note the line:

[B]Link with -ldl[/B].

[prahjister]

I'm Linux noob can you elaborate. I did find that stack overflow. I just don't know know how to apply the response.

[abdul_pt]

It looks like an error on the Makefile. Can you upload it ?

I believe this is it

https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend/blob/master/Makefile

[prahjister]

BTW it compiles and works if I don't use ffmpeg static. Only errors when I use ffmpeg static

[prahjister]

Here are the steps i took and sources for information if someone else wants to take a stab. it builds fine with no static ffmpeg. Built on r89 with linuxium img very little testing with non transcoding version.

[Ben.Efrati]

Are you trying cross compile for android? if yes,
The problem is in Makefile.ffmpeg.
It uses linux gcc instead the android NDK. I also tried with no success when enable libffmpeg_static.
Also you need to add many flags to each ./configure

[prahjister]

No this is for Linux on my beelink r89. It might have enough power to transcoded to h.264

[prahjister]

There is a switch in the make file for Android. Should I give it a try?

[Ben.Efrati]

no the --enable-android is for cross compile.
with transcoding your cpu will be 100% because you need to encode and decode in the same time..

[prahjister]

I found a post where someone is doing this on an odroid-c1 successfully. I hope someone can hash this out. I took good notes if someone with more knowledge can try.

[prahjister]

got it working

LDFLAGS += ${LDFLAGS_FFDIR}/libx264.a
to
LDFLAGS += ${LDFLAGS_FFDIR}/libx264.a -ldl

and ran

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.2 /usr/lib/libiconv.so.2

Testing to see if the r89 can transcode

Will post slim down directions after i clean up

[prahjister]

well i can get it to transcode on the rk3288 at low resolutions fluidly 1.5mbps skips occasionally. Next to try on MK808B plus and hope that the hardware acceleration kicks in.
