[Bug?] /usr/lib/libAMDXvBA.so is missing

[RealNC]

Maybe this is only a Gentoo bug, not sure, but the fglrx installer (8.12) doesn't seem to create a /usr/lib[32/64]/libAMDXvBA.so symlink. There are only libAMDXvBA.so.1 and libAMDXvBA.so.1.0, but no libAMDXvBA.so. It's imposible to link against libAMDXvBA without an .so in place.

Did I fire the sparkle of hope in you? ;) I don't have a header, sorry. I'm just trying to do what this article says:

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_xvmc_xvba&num=1

That is, configure mplayer with "--enable-xvmc" and "--with-xvmclib=AMDXvBA".

Did you create the symlink?

[RealNC]

Yes. I'm just reporting this here so someone can fix this upstream. It still doesn't work though due to undefined symbols (see http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14706).

Maybe test it on a 32 bit install.

Xvmc works out of the box here with catalyst 8.12 and mplayer from the intrepid repository, no need to compile anything.

FYI, mplayer from intrepid is configured with: --enable-xvmc --with-xvmclib=XvMCW

Well, I'm happy for you :D Still doesn't compile here.

(This is the wrong thread, btw.)

It would probably compile if you just configure it with --with-xvmclib=XvMCW. But if you insist on linking mplayer against libAMDXvBA.so just to get basic xvmc support see it your self...
