[vlc] Re: Cross Compile VLC for mips32

[Danny Brown]

I would check what I have suggested earlier since you are targetting another
device. One thing about processors is the way they store data. Some are
BIG_ENDIAN and some are LITTLE_ENDIAN. Meaning one stores data backwards
from the other. If a part of your system is built one way and another the
other, you may get file errors and crashes. Other than that I really can't
help much more. Good Luck.
