[SOLVED] git x264: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output

andrew.46 · 08-02-2011, 04:00 AM

I have been building x264 from git for some time but I am stuck with the latest pull from git (on Slackware -current) :

Code:

/usr/lib/gcc/i486-slackware-linux/4.5.3/../../../../i486-slackware-linux/bin/ld: libx264.a(dct.o)(.text+0x2be8): unresolvable R_386_32 relocation against symbol `x264_dct4_weight2_zigzag'
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-slackware-linux/4.5.3/../../../../i486-slackware-linux/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [x264] Error 1

Anybody else having this error?

when I upgrade my x264 installs, usually first I try to build what I see tagged as stable on git: that seems to build fine here (on multilib).
maybe there's something that broke it in the last two commits.

Your error is exclusive to 64-bit I think?

I tried building yesterday's snapshot (ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/videolan/...1-2245.tar.bz2) on a clean 64-bit Slackware-current and it built fine using http://connie.slackware.com/~alien/s...264.SlackBuild .

I saw that there was also a "x264-snapshot-20110801-2245-stable.tar.bz2" at the download location bit I did not attempt to compile that one.

No, I am running a 32bit system.

I am using my own rather ugly script for x264 but I used your script on the same version, but on my 32bit system, and the error was the same as my original post. I have retreated to an older version at the moment but will keep a keen eye on the git repository for updates. Mind you it would be nice if somebody could reproduce my error message

Hi Andrew

I could successfully compile a 32-bit package of x264 (20110801 snapshot) on 32-bit Slackware-current. No idea what's wrong with your setup.
I uploaded the build log here: http://pastebin.com/bVHZPFrG

Thanks Eric, you gave me the clue to solve the problem!! On your build:

Code:

Platform:   X86
System:     LINUX
cli:        yes
libx264:    internal
shared:     yes
static:     no
asm:        yes
interlaced: yes
avs:        no
lavf:       no
ffms:       no
gpac:       no
gpl:        yes
thread:     posix
filters:    crop select_every
debug:      no
gprof:      no
strip:      no
PIC:        no
visualize:  yes
bit depth:  8

So your build does not have import support through FFmpeg libraries built in while my own draws support from the git FFmpeg I have installed. Once I ran my script with --disable-lavf compilation succeeded. Looks like a current git x264 vs current git FFmpeg issue. Thanks for helping out!

Issue now completely resolved with latest git x264 + git FFmpeg.....

I just built ffmpeg-0.8.2 with latest x264 snapshot and found no issues.
