Howdy, Mplayer (actually libavcodec in ffmpeg) fails to compile on an apple g5. I have verified this on both the pre2 sources and the cvs sources. ).92 sources however compile fine. CFLAGS is unset of course. The error it fails with is: gcc -O4 -maltivec -mabi=altivec -pipe -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -no-cpp-precomp -DSYS_DARWIN -Wl,-bind_at_load -DCONFIG_DARWIN -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DHAVE_AV_CONFIG_H -I.. -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_GNU_SOURCE -c -o ppc/dsputil_ppc.o ppc/dsputil_ppc.c {standard input}:67:dcbzl instruction is only for 64-bit implementations (not allowed without -force_cpusubtype_ALL option) {standard input}:91:dcbzl instruction is only for 64-bit implementations (not allowed without -force_cpusubtype_ALL option) {standard input}:136:dcbzl instruction is only for 64-bit implementations (not allowed without -force_cpusubtype_ALL option) make[1]: *** [ppc/dsputil_ppc.o] Error 1 make: *** [libavcodec/libavcodec.a] Error 2 Now for some specs: [3:18pm]hal9000@golgatha:~/main>gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/3.3/specs Thread model: posix gcc version 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1493) [3:25pm]hal9000@golgatha:~/main>uname -a Darwin golgatha 6.8.5 Darwin Kernel Version 6.8.5: Wed Sep 10 16:22:08 PDT 2003; root:xnu/xnu-344.21.74.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc I am hoping I am an idiot and have done something horribly wrong. In which case the fix would be a fast dope-slap :) Thanks Fred
