Can't build on Rpi 3+ with AArch64

[ghost]

I am not sure if this is an issue with arch, my setup or ffmpegdirect. I am trying to build but I get an -fpic error. I noticed someone else had the same issue and they compiled with -flto. In my PKGBUILD, I added the option of lto but it gave me a different error. I tried to add -fpic to my flags through /etc/makepkg.conf but it didn't work

without lto

Can someone point me in the right direction?

I'm trying to build the Nexus version. I changed my PKGBUILD to download the Nexus version of ffmpegdirect and kodi.

Can you explain the steps you went through to get to this error?

try following this closed issue thread: #89

Thanks for the help. I modified the PKGBUILD to grab the Nexus version of each. I then did a makepkg command. I tied both with the option of lto and makeflags. I also tried without the options line in the PKGBUILD. I also tried adding the -fpic flag to the cmake command in the /etc/makepkg.conf.

In the closed thread, he said he used lto. I tried this by adding the options(lto) but it did not compile. I could try adding it to make cmake command in the /etc/makepkg.conf.

Maybe ask the person who solved it for advice on this thread?

@stuckinthe I managed to get it compile on rpi Aarch43 thanks to your comment above.

Installed on manjaro arm with the followinf command

yay kodi-addon-inputstream-ff --editmenu

then added options before sources=...

options=("lto")
source=("https://github.com/xbmc/inputstream.ffmpegdirect/archive/refs/heads/Nexus.zip"
        "https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/archive/refs/heads/master.zip"
)

Your snoppet was close, just missing the double quotes for me.

Indeed using lto with aarch64 is solving this issue.
