[mythtv-users] testing the ps3 patches.

[mike lewis]

Hi There.

I've recently subscribed to this list.  I have a ps3 running ubuntu
gutsy.  I'd like to toy with mythtv at 720p resoluions.  I noticed
this post via google:

I've attempted to install and I get the following errer early on...

mick at mick-desktop:~/build/myth/mythtv/libs/libmythtv/cell$ ./make_spu.sh
Making mythspu_yuv2rgb
spu-gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory

I've looked up the cc1plus error, and it indicates that I don't have
either gcc or g++ installed correctly.. But from what I can gather I
do.  I've tried to run from the command line:

---
cell$ spu-elf-gcc -Wall -funroll-loops -finline -mbranch-hints -O3 -o
mythspu_yuv2rgb mythspu_yuv2rgb.c++
spu-elf-gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory

And, gcc and g++ are the same version (this was another error source I
saw on a list somewhere..

So next I tried to install the "mythspu_yuv2rgb.o" file directly from
the one Mark compiled himself.

mick at mick-desktop:~/build/myth/mythtv/libs/libmythtv/cell$ embedspu
mythspu_yuv2rgb_handle mythspu_yuv2rgb mythspu_yuv2rgb.o

It looks like the command line options have rotated since this was
released??  I tried to swap them around and this is what I get..
---
mick at mick-desktop:~/build/myth/mythtv/libs/libmythtv/cell$ embedspu
mythspu_yuv2rgb_handle mythspu_yuv2rgb.o mythspu_yuv2rgb
mythspu_yuv2rgb.o: Does not appear to be an SPU executable

Agh!  I'm lost..  Is anyone on this list running ubuntu gutsy on their
ps3 that can help me try to install this?
