[vlc-devel] vlc compile problems on PPC

[Cian Cullinan]

Hi, I've been trying to compile VLC, both 0.8.1 and snapshot-20050421
on a mac-mini running Fedora Core 3 with required packages added*. I
use the same configure command for both:

  ./configure --enable-dvdread --enable-v4l --enable-pvr 
--enable-mozilla --with-ffmpeg-tree=/usr/local/src/ffmpeg/
--enable-ffmpeg

I then try to make, but both fail with different errors, 0.8.1 fails with:

memcpyaltivec.c: In function `fast_memcpy':
memcpyaltivec.c:107: error: `vector' undeclared (first use in this function)
memcpyaltivec.c:107: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
memcpyaltivec.c:107: error: for each function it appears in.)

And the snapshot fails with:

with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <URL:http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla> for instructions.
The bug is not reproducible, so it is likely a hardware or OS problem.

Do I need to specify altivec stuff somwhere (all I could find in
configure was the --disable-altivec option which had no effect), and
more worryingly from the snapshot build attempt, is my compiler
borked?
Has anyone built VLC on a linux/PPC system recently, maybe some kind
of voodoo is required?

TIA
Cian


* I installed the following before configuring and trying to compile vlc:

i) libdvdread-0.9.4 from tarball
ii) libmad-0.15.1b from tarball
iii) ffmepg from CVS
iv) mpeg2dec-0.4.0b from tarball
v) wxGTK2 from RPM
vi) mozilla-devel from RPM
