[OpenIndiana-discuss] mkvmerge fails

[Apostolos Syropoulos via openindiana-discuss]

After upgrading I have noticed that neither mkvmerge nor mkvextract
work anymore!
$ mkvmerge -D audio.avi -A video.avi -o GAMES.mkv
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_cast'
  what():  std::bad_cast
Abort (core dumped)

I have no idea what this KTPI thing does but it certainly has
made my life more difficult. How can I deactivate it?

I am not sure this is related, this seems to be a plain runtime error.

What is the OI package containing mkvmerge?

See if ffmpeg works for you. Something like

ffmpeg -i video.avi -i audio.avi -map 0:0 -map 1:0 -c copy -f matroska games.mkv

ffmpeg -i video.avi -i audio.avi -map 0:0 -map 1:0 -c copy -f matroska games.mkv

First I have compiled both ffmpeg and mkvtools.

fmpeg --version
ffmpeg version 3.4.1 Copyright (c) 2000-2017 the FFmpeg developers
  built with gcc 4.9.4 (GCC)
  configuration: --prefix=/opt/gnu --enable-shared --enable-static --enable-libx264 --enable-gpl --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libvpx --enable-libvorbis --enable-libfdk-aac --enable-nonfree
  libavutil      55. 78.100 / 55. 78.100
  libavcodec     57.107.100 / 57.107.100
  libavformat    57. 83.100 / 57. 83.100
  libavdevice    57. 10.100 / 57. 10.100
  libavfilter     6.107.100 /  6.107.100
  libswscale      4.  8.100 /  4.  8.100
  libswresample   2.  9.100 /  2.  9.100
  libpostproc    54.  7.100 / 54.  7.100
Unrecognized option '-version'.
Error splitting the argument list: Option not found

Obviously, this cannot be distributed but this works just fine.
But mkvmerge and mkvextract core dump immediately.

Multimedia libraries were updated recently, though advertized as ABI
compatible.
If you compiled mkvmerge and mkvextract yourself then you may need to
rebuild them.

Thanks for the suggestion. I rebuild the mkvtools and now they work as expected.

PS So something else is responsible for making wine crash not this JavaScript thing.

KPTI protects you from Meltdown attacks, which could be run as Javascript
in your web browser if you visit a site that embeds ads from an ad network
that doesn't have a thorough security review process for all Javascript
that they serve (i.e. basically any ad network out there, because that sort
of security costs lots of money and provides them no benefit).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_page-table_isolation and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meltdown_(security_vulnerability)
have more in-depth explanations.

https://omniosce.org/info/kpti documents how to disable for OmniOS - I'd
guess OpenIndiana is very similar.

Unfortunately, KPTI-related changes have side effects even if you
disable KPTI on boot :(
