#1968 closed defect (invalid)

./configure --enable-shared --enable-static behavior odd.

Description

Hello.

I would expect that if I pass
ffmpeg $ ./configure --enable-shared --enable-static

that it would either
1) choose the latter of the 2, or
2) fail out, proclaiming that it has been passed conflicting instruction.

It appears that today, if I pass it this, it builds a shared build, effectively ignoring the "--enable-static" directive. At least for mingw32-cross compiler.

Cheers!

Summary of the bug:
How to reproduce:

% ffmpeg -i input ... output
ffmpeg version
built on ...

Patches should be submitted to the ffmpeg-devel mailing list and not this bug tracker.

Component: undeterminedbuild system

(Since it works fine here)
Please add the following information for build problems:
Compiler version (gcc -v)
(minimal) configure line including output until the empty line after "makeinfo enabled"

I suspect that --enable-static is always ignored.

comment:2 by Roger Pack, 11 years ago

I didn't see a "makeinfo enabled" message buthere's my attempt...

Replying to rogerdpack:

I didn't see a "makeinfo enabled" message buthere's my attempt...

makeinfo enabled          no
...
static                    yes
shared                    yes
...

creates this file:

-rwxrwxr-x 1 rdp rdp 205312 Nov 27 10:37 ffmpeg.exe

which I assume is "just" a shared build.

The important question is if static libraries are built:
libavutil/libavutil.a, libavcodec/libavcodec.a, libavformat/libavformat.a, ...
(configure's output above indicates that they will be built.)

comment:4 by Roger Pack, 11 years ago

Ok here appears to be the behavior:
with just --enable-shared, it builds .dll's, and a "small" ffmpeg.exe (no libav*.a files)
with just --enable-static, it builds a "large" ffmpeg.exe, no .dll's, and yes libav*.a files. So far so good.

The confusion comes when you do both of them together. It's like it must decide "which one" to use for building ffmpeg.exe (large, or small?) and it appears to default to small, even if --enable-static is specified, and is last. It chooses a size arbitrarily it seems. If this is expected then fine (maybe configure could output a warning or something in this case?)
Thank you.

comment:5 by reimar, 11 years ago

Just like "configure --help" describes, these two options specify whether the static and the dynamic libav* libraries will be built.
When both are enabled, it is up to the toolchain (the build system only tells it which libraries to link against but nothing more specific), which almost always will default to preferring shared libraries.
If you want a stand-alone binary, "--extra-ldflags=-static" is a better solution since it will also try to statically link system library dependencies.
Anything else is probably a too special case for us to support it.

Replying to rogerdpack:

Please understand that both "--enable-shared" and "--enable-static" do not directly influence if ffmpeg (the executable) is linked statically or dynamically (or is, in your words, "large or small"), test for example "./configure --disable-static --enable-shared && make ffmpeg; ./configure --enable-static --disable-shared && make ffmpeg" and you will see that only the linker (that is not part of FFmpeg) decides which library files to use. (Even if I am wrong and linkers must use the dynamic libraries to conform to some specification that does not change my argument that this in no way indicates a bug in FFmpeg.)

Allow me to repeat the question:
If you configure with "--enable-shared --enable-static" are the static archives - libavutil/libavutil.a, libavcodec/libavcodec.a, libavformat/libavformat.a, ... - built or not?

comment:7 by Roger Pack, 11 years ago

Yes they are built (and yes, the linker ignores them LOL). Shame it's so hard to be able to specify the output linkage type...you can close this I suppose, thanks for your help here with this cross compiling newbie :P
