Hi,
Attached below is a patch which adds a new CPU type to the FFmpeg
configure system, 'fat'. This is used for building a universal binary
on Mac OS X 10.4, which runs natively both on PowerPC and x86
systems. Also added is an easier way to access this this flag, '--
enable-universal'. Additionally, tuning for all four CPU families
that Mac OS X runs on, G3, G4, G5 and Intel, is also possible by
specifying '--tune=all'. To my knowledge, this has no benefits beyond
resulting in a binary that takes four times as long to compile and is
four times as large as a non-fat binary, rather than the ordinary
universal binary which just doubles the time and space required.
While at it, I added the 'safe' flags that are used in Apple's -fast
option to GCC 4, which should generate slightly faster binaries.
Other than the obvious changes to the build system, the following
source level changes where made:
- Most of the changes were made to ensure that the files in
libavcodec/{ppc,i386} check for architecture rather than assume it.
- The .balign instructions in have been changed to use macros which
expand to .align on Darwin, and .balign elsewhere, due to the
different assembler used.
- The assembler macros in fdct_mmx.c have been changed to use
standard C preprocessor macros.
- The uses of /nop in simple_idct_mmx.c have been changed to be '#'
-- simply commenting out the line instead.
I hope the changes are acceptable for FFmpeg. If not, please tell me
what needs to be fixed.
