  GStreamer | gst-openmax | Ver: 0.10.21
           Summary: gst-openmax does not buld
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.21
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-openmax
        AssignedTo: felipe.contreras at nokia.com
        ReportedBy: don.osc2 at gmail.com
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


Please describe the problem:
gst-openmax uses the -Werror option by default, which causes the build to fail
even if there are build warnings.  There are several warnings that cause the
build to fail, all of which fall under one of these two categories:

1)  Failure to include <stdlib.h> and using calloc or free.
2)  Using the incorrect printf format specifier (%lu for a guint, %d for a long
int).

Steps to reproduce:
These are common warnings found with -Wall (which is also on by default for
gst-openmax).  I would expect that this problem is easily reproducable by most
gcc compilers.  In my case, I'm using the MontaVista Pro 5.00 compiler, which
is based on gcc 4.2.0.

Actual results:
During a typical build, I see the errors below.  No fancy configure options
other than --prefix are used:

gstomx_base_videodec.c:111: warning: implicit declaration of function 'calloc'
gstomx_base_filter.c:387: warning: format '%d' expects type 'int', but argument
8 has type 'OMX_U32'

And many more like this.

Expected results:
I would expect that the build does not fail.  Minimally, developers shouldn't
be using -Werror if there are still build warnings.


Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
I have a patch that fixes the build issue, but don't see a place to attach it
on this submission screen.
