<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings gstreamer-devel list,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m wishing to build and package GStreamer v1.14 (or later) for the ARM32 hard-float architecture (for Raspberry Pi 2, 3, 3B+). I mean the GNU Triplet: arm-linux-gnueabihf. I’m doing this in an Ubuntu docker container in an up-to-date Ubuntu
16.04 LTS x86_64 VM to ensure a clean environment.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I see that “config/linux.config” doesn’t actually support the hard-float ARMv7 variant and am wondering what would be the correct solution to achieve what I’m after.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The problematic area of “config/linux.config” seems to be lines 39 through 42 which are:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">39 if target_arch in [Architecture.ARM, Architecture.ARMv7]:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">40 if target_arch == Architecture.ARMv7:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">41 arch_flags += ' -march=armv7-a '<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">42 _host = 'arm-linux-gnueabi'<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think that I need to achieve something like:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">arch_flags += '
<span style="color:black">-march=armv7-a -mfpu=neon-vfpv4 -mfloat-abi=hard</span> '<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">_host = 'arm-linux-gnueabihf'</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I guess that Cerbero may need extending to detect the hard-float scenario but have no idea how to do this.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m considering just hacking “config/linux.config” to force it to do what I’m after but this is clearly not the “correct” solution.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can anyone help?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
