[x264-devel] Re: Problems compiling xubuntu ppc

[Griffith Rees]

Ah. ok. yeah, I might have added maltivec rather than faltivec. What's the
difference (besides one clearly not working)? I think I just remember
maltivec from my global clfags on a gentoo install I used to have, but I
(foolishly) never quite understood all that. What's the difference (if you
care to enlighten me)? I think I remember faltivec being an older G3
extension that didn't apply, but that's pretty hazy.

TBH I can't remember what I passed into ./configure. I'm in os x right now
(due to bcm43xx linux driver frustration) but I'll try out your suggestion
and report back asap.

Oh and while I certainly support linux on ppc, I would hate to make you feel
like you had to install it just for me. Hopefully this will fix it.

Thanks very much for your help. Attentive devs are a wonderful thing :).
