liboil error on ppc

[Mark Van den Borre]

On my iBook G4, whatever gstreamer pipeline I start, I get:

mark@looksaus:~$ gst-launch-0.10 audiotestsrc ! autoaudiosink
OIL: ERROR liboiltest.c 403: oil_test_check_impl(): function conv_f32_s16_bitstuff in class conv_f32_s16 failed check (53,5781 > 0,1) || (outside=0)

(pipelines work just ok after this)

This seems to be only a minor error, but since I didn't find it reported anywhere...

Thanks for your bug report. Which version of liboil do you use?

[Mark Van den Borre (markvdb)]

Sorry for being so vague. I'm using the latest Dapper release:

ii liboil0.3 0.3.7-0ubuntu2 Library of Optimized Inner Loops

Keep up the good work!

I'll apply this patch from CVS to it now:

2006-02-03 David Schleef <email address hidden>

 * liboil/conv/conv_bitstuff.c: Disable impl that is busted
   on powerpc.

It looks fairly likely that this fixes the issue - if all goes well you can test 0.3.7-0ubuntu3 soon - as I don't have a powerpc myself.

 liboil (0.3.7-0ubuntu3) dapper; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/applied-patches/convbitstuff-fix-from-cvs.patch,
     liboil/conv/conv_bitstuff.c:
     - applied patch from CVS to fix Malone: #33280 ("liboil error on ppc").

Please report back, how this works for you and reopen, if the problem persists.

Confirmed solved in 0.3.7-0ubuntu3
