Description Nathan Cutler 2025-10-15 07:50:49 UTC

Description of problem:

The ffmpeg build in f43 has an explicit "BuildRequires:  pkgconfig(openal)", but when the build takes place, openal appears to be turned off. See

https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/ffmpeg/7.1.2/2.fc43/data/logs/x86_64/build.log

where grepping for OPENAL yields:

#define CONFIG_OPENAL 0
#define CONFIG_OPENAL_INDEV 0

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

7.1.2-2.fc43

How reproducible:

I am only observing the Fedora 43 ffmpeg.spec and build log. I did not try to build it myself.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ffmpeg/blob/f43/f/ffmpeg.spec and grep for "openal"
2. open https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/ffmpeg/7.1.2/2.fc43/data/logs/x86_64/build.log and grep for "OPENAL"

Actual results:

Build is observed to BuildRequire openal, but not actually use it.

Expected results:

If the ffmpeg build does not use openal, it should not BuildRequire it.

Additional info:

Comment 1 Nathan Cutler 2025-10-15 08:24:15 UTC

The "--enable-openal" was dropped by this recent commit: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ffmpeg/c/5917b714a19abefcfa2cfbec15b28b33e4b41a04?branch=f43

Comment 2 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2025-11-02 16:38:13 UTC

Thanks for the report. OpenAL was disabled by mistake.
