[vlc] Re: compiling vlc on solaris

[Mats Rojestal]

Hi,

VLC compiles and runs just fine without any modifications on my 
solaris9_x86 system. The only thing is that you need to update your gnu 
tools and on x86 platform you need build a version of gcc that uses gnu 
assembler to produce correct code.

Hope that helps,
