gstreamer-ffmpeg will not compile on PowerPC
Last modified: 2006-03-28 19:28:10 UTC
Please describe the problem: The gstreamer-ffmpeg package will not compile on PowerPC. Steps to reproduce: Try to build gstreamer-ffmpeg using a PowerPC CPU with Altivec. Actual results: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I../libavcodec -DHAVE_AV_CONFIG_H=1 -Wall -Wno-switch -O2 -g -m32 -MT eval.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/eval.Tpo -c eval.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/eval.o In file included from ../libavcodec/dsputil.h:471, from ../libavcodec/mpegvideo.h:29, from eval.c:30: /usr/lib/gcc/ppc64-redhat-linux/4.1.0/include/altivec.h:37:2: error: #error Use the "-maltivec" flag to enable PowerPC AltiVec support Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information: Prepending CFLAGS=-maltivec ./configure causes gstreamer-ffmpeg to build successfully (gcc -maltivec used.) Configure should be able to pick up this requirement automatically.
