Ubuntu 21.04 dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkg fails to build libdvdcss

in flag

I am trying to install libdvd_pkg to play DRM protected DVD's. dpkg-reconfigure gives some clue that the problem is with building libdvdcss2. Maybe my gcc version 10.3.0 is the problem? Is there any other way to install libdvdcss2 on Ubuntu 21.04?

The build log file follows

/usr/src/libdvd-pkg//libdvdcss2_1.4.2-1~local_amd64.build:

Pages and pages of unreadable text and most likely nothing to do with the question. You need to clean this up so it can be read and then maybe someone can help.

Get a usable gcc : `sudo apt install build-essential` . ......... I.e. an install of gcc only will not install libc6-dev, linux-libc-dev, etc. which will make gcc work fully.

I had forgotten that at some point I've set some compiler flags in my .bashrc Haven't investigated wich flag(s) is the source of the problem, but removing them all seems to correct the problem. I know it wasn't the -j flag though, that was of course my first thought.

Thanks for your help and sorry for the disturpence.

For your information the flags set was:

# export CFLAGS="-O2 -g0 -march=native -pipe -fomit-fame-pointer"
# export CXXFlAGS="$CFLAGS"
# export MAKEFLAGS="-j11"

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
