Subject: bug#23307: VLC does not build deterministically
Date: Mon, 18 Apr 2016 13:46:06 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87zisr6sxt.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)

Commit 4ef2721b52c4929aac15db4f8b39702cd37955a1 fixed an obvious
timestamp-related reproducibility issue in VLC 2.2.1, but there remains
a problem with the ‘lib/vlc/plugins/plugins.dat’ whose contents differ
across rebuilds by a few 32-bit values (see attached diffoscope output.)
The ‘plugins.dat’ file is generated by this rule in bin/Makefile.am:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
../modules/plugins.dat: vlc-cache-gen$(EXEEXT)
$(AM_V_at)rm -f ../modules/plugins.dat
$(AM_V_GEN)if test "$(build)" = "$(host)"; then \
./vlc-cache-gen$(EXEEXT) ../modules ; \
else \
echo "Cross-compilation: cache generation skipped!" ; \
fi
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
