Ok I have been trying to get the tree working under BeOS.  I got the 
automake etc from the BeBits app VIM6.1.  Now it bootstraps ok.  I had 
to remove libdl.so and dlfnc.h other wise the detection and usage got 
confused as per my previous message.  If I then configure and make and 
it does not compile the ffmpeg.h file, so I removed the ffmpeg from my 
confugre options.  Then I got the error that beos_specific.c did not 
exist for beos_specific.o to be built.  Odd as it has always been a 
*.cpp file.  So I renamed that they I get the warning that it is 
overriding the build options for beos_specific but everything compiles. 
 Cool I think I finally got back to where I could work on the aout, but 
no!!  The executable outputs the startup version line then segfaults 
with no stack trace.

I am totally out of my depth.  I cannot get this to work in the time I 
have to spend on it.  Concider this a cry for help!

Sorry

Tony
