gmp compiler failure on Ubuntu and webOS

[cscd98]

On Ubuntu 25.10 I am unable to compile inputstream.ffmpegdirect:

To reproduce:

git clone --branch master https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git
git clone https://github.com/xbmc/inputstream.ffmpegdirect.git
cd inputstream.ffmpegdirect && mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DADDONS_TO_BUILD=inputstream.ffmpegdirect -DADDON_SRC_PREFIX=../.. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../../kodi-ubuntu/build/addons -DPACKAGE_ZIP=1 ../../kodi-ubuntu/cmake/addons

make

[phunkyfish]

So the issue will be here:

https://github.com/xbmc/inputstream.ffmpegdirect/blob/Piers/depends/common/gmp/CMakeLists.txt

[cscd98]

Now compiles on GCC 15 (Ubuntu) as well as webOS on GCC 14 with linked PR:

#352

[formidabilus]

same problem on Fedora 43 with gcc version 15.2.1 20251111 (Red Hat 15.2.1-4) (GCC) .

[goldengate2121]

I am getting the same error about missing compiler.

[phunkyfish]

Are you using the updated repo? The fix was merged.

[goldengate2121]

Yes I just tried it again with a fresh clone. I see the changes in the acinclude.m4 file but it is still throwing an error for me.

error: too many arguments to function 'g'; expected 0, have 6 12 for(i=0;i<1;i++){if(e(got,got,9,d[i].n)==0)h();g(i,d[i].src,d[i].n,got,d[i].want,9);if(d[i].n)h();}}

[phunkyfish]

@sundermann any ideas as it appears to affect webos?

[cscd98]

Just did a fresh checkout and compile on Ubuntu 26.04 (daily) with GCC 15 and works for me (not with -j16 mind but with -j1 it worked). Also builds for webOS.

But I also can't find "{if(e(got,got,9,d[i].n)==0)h();g(i,d[i].src,d[i].n,got,d[i].want,9);if(d[i].n)h();}}" when I grepped?

[goldengate2121]

This is what my acinclude.m4 looks like

#if defined (GNUC) && ! defined (__cplusplus)
typedef unsigned long long t1;typedef t1t2;
void g(int a,t1 constb,t1 c,t2 d,t1 const*e,int f){}
void h(){}
static inline t1 e(t2 rp,t2 up,int n,t1 v0)
{t1 c,x,r;int i;if(v0){c=1;for(i=1;i<n;i++){x=up[i];r=x+1;rp[i]=r;}}return c;} ### The patch goes to here
void f(){static const struct{t1 n;t1 src[9];t1 want[9];}d[]={{1,{0},{1}},};t1 got[9];int i;
for(i=0;i<1;i++){if(e(got,got,9,d[i].n)==0)h();g(i,d[i].src,d[i].n,got,d[i].want,9);if(d[i].n)h();}}
#else

Is the patch shown on github suppose to take out more lines?

[cscd98]

It only changes:

void g(int a,t1 const*b,t1 c,t2 d,t1 const*e,int f){}

https://github.com/xbmc/inputstream.ffmpegdirect/pull/352/changes

[goldengate2121]

I did a fresh checkout of both Kodi Piers and ffmpegdirect Piers and I still get the same error. I use the cmake command on the wiki.

cmake -DADDONS_TO_BUILD=inputstream.ffmpegdirect -DADDON_SRC_PREFIX=../.. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../../xbmc/build/addons -DPACKAGE_ZIP=1 ../../xbmc/cmake/addons

I just use make as I don't use j16 nor j1.

The following is a link to the config.log file.
https://paste.kodi.tv/zobugoteni.kodi

I have built inputstream adaptive and pvr simple iptv without issue.

[cscd98]

The patch has not been applied - void g(){} is still the same. Can you apply it manually?
