Trying to get ffmpeg n6.1.2 working with our app

[brentpicasso]

Describe the bug
Getting duplicate symbol issue when running our app with ffmpeg n6.1.2

Hi, I'm working on contributing an updated recipe for ffmpeg. FFmpeg is building, but I'm seeing this error when the app is linked:

duplicate symbol '_ff_init_half2float_tables' in:
    /Users/macmini/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/racecaptureapp-gvoxmqndeqrfaxcpilbfwwppcdqu/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/libswscale.a[arm64][11](half2float.o)
    /Users/macmini/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/racecaptureapp-gvoxmqndeqrfaxcpilbfwwppcdqu/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/libavcodec.a[arm64][357](half2float.o)
ld: 1 duplicate symbols
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Here's my recipe.

• Note it is referencing libX264 and libshine (those will be separate contributions)

I also have cleaned the old version of ffmpeg as much as possible from the build and app directories.

@misl6 any ideas on this?

I'd really like to get this contributed to kivy-ios and get the recipes in sync with P4A 🍰 🍰

[brentpicasso]

If we can get this working, kivy-ios will match the P4A versions for these recipes

• ffmpeg
• libshine
• libx264
• PyAv

This is important so we can deploy our app in the same way across both platforms. 👍
