h264 for uclinux on cycloneIII 3C25

As you've probably guessed, those erros look like the "static" attribute is being ignored.

Commenting out those lines looks like a good ideia to me. In fact, I'd say that having them in first place looks pretty dumb to me.

Since I don't have any better suggestions, so a couple of possibly dumb comments/questions.

That code looks to have been written targeting a Win32 C99 compiler.

Dumb question 1:

Did you clean up all the .o files and tried to recompile everything?

Dumb question 2:

Maybe there's some obscure incompatibility with the GCC version you're using?

thanks rbugalho,

first, thx for your prompt response.

I want to clarify something: yes the code is targeted to a Win32 compiler. but i'v compiled this code with gcc in linux (the only suspect thing is that the executable generated after the compilation was a .exe file ... is that normal??). the problem is only in cross compilation with Nios2-ide.

any other suggestions?

Under gcc/linux, the executable can have any extension, so it's not a problem per se.

It's problably a side effect of the build script. However, maybe it's worth taking a look a it.

I understood that you're using gcc in Linux.

What I meant is that, by the looks of it, whoever wrote the code was targeting just WIN32 and that may be the origin of your obscure problems.

From the __STDC_VERSION__ < 199901L condition, it also looks like the author was targeting C99.

Yet another dumb suggestion: try using the "c99" command to compile, instead of "gcc" -- it's an alias to gcc which makes it behave as a strict C99 compiler.

I suppose that c99 is not usable as an alias to the NIOS cross compiler, but maybe there is a compiler option usable to make the NIOS C compiler run in C99 mode.

Hi,

I changed the Nios-ide std parameter to have CFLAGS=-std=gnu99 in the make file. it was a good solution because the number of errors has decreased significally but i still have some errors:

--- Quote Start ---

Linking hello_world_8.elf...

obj/configfile.o(.text+0x10): In function `JMHelpExit':

../configfile.c:93: undefined reference to `stderr'

obj/configfile.o(.text+0x10):../configfile.c:93: Unable to reach stderr (at 0x00000000) from the global pointer (at 0x0017e198) because the offset (-1565080) is out of the allowed range, -32678 to 32767.

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make: *** [hello_world_8.elf] Error 1

Build completed in 4.475 seconds

--- Quote End ---

it looks like that the compiler does'nt know stderr depite that the <stdio.h> was included.

I don't have a clue !!! but i wanted to join the makefile of linux were the code executed correctly and the current makefile of the nios2-ide .

please help me to identify the possible source of error that could be in this makefile.

thank you :)

Hello,

the NIOS Makefile refers to a $(SOPC_KIT_NIOS2)/components/altera_hal/build/app.mk

It looks like you're compiling your application targeting NIOS' HAL and not uCLinux.

IIRC, NIOS's HAL does not have a stderr.

Hi,

I successfully compiled the standard H264 encoder and I run it on the kit cycloneIII 3C25 platform but I had these error messages when typing this command:

/bin> ./lencod -d encoder.cfg

Could you please help me?

:confused:

It apears your encoder is consuming too much RAM and the Linux kernel decided to kill it.

Maybe you don't have enough system memory or maybe there's a bug/leak in the encoder.

No clue about either.
