At this point, I'm far from convinced that the
library is even remotely usable on that platform — I suspect it may be as broken as its failing tests indicate.
So, I'm wondering if I'm wasting my time (and quite a bit of leigh's, too) with all of this special-casing and tweaking just trying to make the ppc64le builds happy — if the resulting library is ultimately unusable, then it's silly to keep doing all that, and I should just ExcludeArch it from the build.
Problem is, I have no way of knowing!
Does anyone have, or have access to, ppc64le-based Fedora hardware that they could install and test OpenShot on, to see if it even works?
Or, if you have a non-GUI host, I can scare up a libopenshot command-line demo executable. (They're normally not packaged, for being pretty useless.) One just loads a demo video from the library's assets dir and transcodes it to another format. That would probably be enough to show whether the library's doing the right things after all, or if it's horribly mangling everything that passes through it.
