QtWebengine build error with opus and silk codecs

[SGaist]

From the looks of it, your system looks like the linux-tegra2-g++ mkspec, maybe this one will be more suited to copy from.

@SGaist
I have tried all these combinations

-mcpu=cortex-a9 -mfloat-abi=softfp -mfpu=vfp

-mcpu=cortex-a9 -mfloat-abi=softfp -mfpu=vfpv3-d16

-mtune=cortex-a9 -march=armv7-a -mhard-float -mfloat-abi=softfp 
-mfpu=vfpv3-d16

and i got the same error

libxxxx.a(yyyyy.o) uses VFP register arguments, libQt5WebEngineCore.so.5.9.1 does not

I tried the tegra2 mkspecs, but again another error.

[SGaist]

Might be a silly question but did you nuke properly the build folder between tries ?

[Kart]

@SGaist I am deleting the source folder and doing all the steps from the beginning each and everytime.

[SGaist]

Ok, so when you said you tried the Tegra2 mkspec, did you just use it or did you copy from it into yours like I suggested ?

[Kart]

@SGaist This is how i used it.

include(../common/linux_device_pre.conf)

QMAKE_INCDIR_POST      += $$[QT_SYSROOT]/usr/include

QMAKE_LIBDIR_POST      += $$[QT_SYSROOT]/usr/lib

QMAKE_RPATHLINKDIR_POST += $$[QT_SYSROOT]/usr/lib

QMAKE_CFLAGS           += -mtune=cortex-a9 -march=armv7-a -mhard-float -mfloat-abi=softfp -mfpu=vfpv3-d16
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS         += -mtune=cortex-a9 -march=armv7-a -mhard-float -mfloat-abi=softfp -mfpu=vfpv3-d16

include(../common/linux_arm_device_post.conf)

load(qt_config)

This is my qmake.conf.

Does anyone knows how ninja build in qtwebengine is getting these architecture values by default ?

-mfloat-abi=hard -mtune=generic-armv7-a -mfpu=vfpv3-d16 -mthumb

[SGaist]

From a quick look, somewhere around:

src/3rdparty/chromium/breakpad/src/build/common.gypi
src/3rdparty/chromium/build/config/compiler/BUILD.gn
src/3rdparty/chromium/build/common.gypi
src/3rdparty/chromium/native_client/build/standalone_flags.gypi
src/3rdparty/chromium/native_client/build/untrusted.gypi
./src/core/config/linux.pri:    MFLOAT = $$extractCFlag("-mfloat-abi=.*")

[Kart]

Thanks @SGaist. This file had some information. I am not sure with the syntax to make changes in this file.

./src/core/config/linux.pri:    MFLOAT = $$extractCFlag("-mfloat-abi=.*")

Whatever values I am giving to QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE and QMAKE_CXXXFLAGS_RELEASE is not what GN build is taking.

Maybe if I figure out how to make changes in the file you have mentioned, I might be able to solve this issue.

[Kart]

In the file

qtwebengine/src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/opus/BUILD.gn:     use_opus_rtcd = current_cpu == "arm" && (is_win || is_android || is_linux)

qtwebengine/src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/opus/BUILD.gn: 
 if (use_opus_rtcd) {
      sources += [
        "$target_gen_dir/celt_pitch_xcorr_arm_gnu.S",
        "src/celt/arm/arm_celt_map.c",
        "src/celt/arm/armcpu.c",
        "src/celt/arm/armcpu.h",
        "src/celt/arm/celt_neon_intr.c",
        "src/celt/arm/fft_arm.h",
        "src/celt/arm/mdct_arm.h",
        "src/celt/arm/pitch_arm.h",
        "src/silk/arm/NSQ_neon.c",
        "src/silk/arm/NSQ_neon.h",
        "src/silk/arm/arm_silk_map.c",
      ]

As far as I understood if the CPU is based on ARM and the OS is linux use_opus_rtcd becomes TRUE. If it becomes true, qtwebengine/src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/opus/src/celt/arm/armcpu.c decides whether it have the NEON capabilities. I am trying to see that changing armcpu.c to not to use NEON might work or not.

The chromium snapshot is outdated. There is already a fix for that!
