MatN and Andrew,
I need clarification please.
1) Thirdparty-Makefile-giflib.patch that Mat attached is definitely needed and should be checked into GIT? probably yes?
2) libaom-v3.2.0.patch1 that Andrew provided on Jan. 08; is this needed? probably not?
3) have I missed some other changes? probably not?


I can't comment much on libgif patch (Cingg worked dor me without it), but my patch only should have effect on Linux/arm, I do not have suitable chroot for testing, but from stackoverflow answers it seems __linux__ is right define, even if ANDROID and TERMUX are all-caps, and *BSD spelled with capitalization too, see example: https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_63_0/boost/config/platform/bsd.hpp

<snip>
I tested both again to make sure.
=== giflib ===
Without the giflib change:
Makefile:
giflib.cfg_params=echo "exec true" > ./configure; chmod +x ./configure;
log:
CONFIGURING giflib
cd giflib* && ./configure echo "exec true" > ./configure; chmod +x ./configure;
and the configure file is 0 bytes.

With the giflib change:
Makefile:
giflib.cfg_vars=echo "exec true" > ./configure; chmod +x ./configure;
log:
CONFIGURING giflib
cd giflib* && echo "exec true" > ./configure; chmod +x ./configure; ./configure
and the configure file is 10 bytes.

So, it builds without the fix because the last cmd is a chmod which return OK.
But it is by accident. So the fix should be in the git.

There are two more with bad configure files, I will look at them. The Makefile always
calls ./configure in the root of the unpacked source directory, so there should be
a configure script, which in case of unused, should return true.

== libaom patch====
The 20220108_Andrew patch for libaom, which changes __LINUX__ to __linux__ is not
needed for X86_64 builds, it builds fine with either.
However, it fails building on Debian_11/aarch64 compiling
libaom_v3.2.0/aom_ports/arm_cpudetect.c .

With the patch, which lowercases __linux__, it builds fine.

So this fix should be in the git too.


thanks a lot for time-consuming aarch64 testing! 

and yeah, more consistent Makefile always better even for our own future reference! 

I hope to get it to compile on macOS too, because one programmer wanted to do that
and he has Apple only. Another programmer would be good.

I am also trying to have migrate the VMs to the system environment, but is is a steep learning curve,
and any web-found instructions are out of date.
If it runs as system, it might actually be faster. Plus, it might expose host hardware features,
like vaapi (not on arm, I think).

there was patchset aimed at improved 3d/sound in qemu-user, back in 2016. But I guess it never landed fully
