00:27 < R4gnar0k> gah gah gah hate ;P
00:28 * R4gnar0k stomps on x86-64 and -fPIC

08:06 < CIA-21> mtr * r22377 /trunk/package/base/uclibc/uclibc.conf: * fixed uClibc scsi header conflict in stage 1 likewise
08:09 < rxr> re
08:09 < rxr> hi R4gnar0k
08:10 < rxr> R4gnar0k: most non-i386 architectures are PIC sensitive ...
08:11 < R4gnar0k> yea
08:11 < R4gnar0k> well ffmpeg fails because x264 isn't PIC
08:11 < R4gnar0k> x264 is compiled with yasm
08:13 < R4gnar0k> and netpbm seems to foul up pnmtopng completely, so evidence can't get its icons compiled
08:16 < rxr> au
08:16 < rxr> a
08:17 < R4gnar0k> ya
08:17 < R4gnar0k> I don't get why 64 bit needs PIC code anyway. why isn't normal relocation enough for it???
08:26 < rxr> non PIC code is slightly more efficent ...
08:26 < rxr> though on x86-64 this will most probably in the one digit percent range ...
08:34 < R4gnar0k> so how do we fix this?
08:34 < rxr> when x264 would not be assemble -FPIC
08:34 < rxr> does it actually have 64bit assembly?
08:34 < R4gnar0k> hm?
08:34 < rxr> maybe i386 ASM is just assembled ?
08:35 < R4gnar0k> dunno o_o
08:35 < rxr> as netpbm is C code there the FPIC-QUIRK Flag could be applied
08:35 < R4gnar0k> how would I check?
08:35 < rxr> read it :-)
08:35 < R4gnar0k> yea but that doesn't seem to be a FPIC error
08:35 < R4gnar0k> (the netpbm)
08:35 < rxr> ir it has r prefix or so before ax, bx, ... it is 64bit :-)
08:35 < rxr> well - I can test locally
08:35 < rxr> I also missed mplayer yesterday on this MacBook
08:36 < R4gnar0k> can you try on your system? just pnmtopng without an argument should crash
08:36 < rxr> $ pnmtopng
08:36 < rxr> pnmtopng: nstring.c:940: vasprintfN: Assertion `str_l2 == str_l' failed.
08:36 < rxr> Aborted
08:36 < rxr> ack
08:36 < R4gnar0k> yea ok
08:36 < rxr> but I have this build error in mplayer:
08:36 < rxr> {standard input}: Assembler messages:
08:36 < rxr> {standard input}:1299: Error: can't encode register '%ch' in an instruction requiring REX prefix.
08:36 < rxr> {standard input}:1300: Error: can't encode register '%ah' in an instruction requiring REX prefix.
08:36 < rxr> {standard input}:1301: Error: can't encode register '%dh' in an instruction requiring REX prefix.
08:36 < rxr> make[1]: *** [osd.o] Error 1
08:37 < rxr> looks pretty much i386 assembly thrown into a 64bit toolchain ...
08:37 < rxr> though not x264, but mplayer internal as far as I can see
08:39 < R4gnar0k> o_o hm
08:41 * R4gnar0k wonder if this 64 bit stuff isn't more hassle then it's actually worth :P
08:43 < rxr> well - you only see the last drops tipping down ...
08:43 < rxr> guess how much fun it was when I started with the sparc64 port ...
08:43 < rxr> also this are new regressions, new mplayer features
08:43 < rxr> on my last 64bit laptop mplayer built and run just fine
08:44 < rxr> in my personal code x86-64 is often 100% faster due to way more registers lingering around for free ..
08:44 < rxr> nearly any computation intensive code runs out of the few registers 8086 CPUs provide
08:44 < R4gnar0k> ok ...

09:02 < CIA-21> _This is a prototype and alpha quality!_
09:02 < rxr> ^- better do not try it yet
09:02 < rxr> I just need it in SVN to build T2 build it for a demo on a remote box
09:02 < rxr> (yes, I could have scp'ed it but this is l33ter :-)
09:10 < R4gnar0k> lol

11:14 < rxr> btw. 2.6.20 is out
11:14 < rxr> I'll update it, but might be some hours until it hits trunk as many patches need rediff
11:20 < CIA-21> rene * r22384 /trunk/package/filesystem/squashfs-tools/pkg_linux_pre.conf: * fixed 2.6.20 typo in squashfs-tools/pkg_linux_pre.conf

14:21 < rxr> ^- not yet booted
14:21 < rxr> some 3rd party modules obviously fail :-)
14:22 < rxr> *> Failed building unionfs.
14:22 < rxr> *> Failed building acx100.
14:22 < rxr> *> Failed building adm8211.
14:22 < rxr> *> Failed building at76c503a.

14:24 < rxr> the rest built, some might be due to x896-64[6~[6~[B[A[B[Bdddddd[B[B
14:25 < rxr> at least madwifi failed before on my MacBook
14:52 < rxr> so - the next day's archivista release will ship with escreen 0.0.2 :-)
