I cheated, I hacked the Makefile of the libavcodec/ subdir to use a cvs gcc and even that one ICEs if you pass '-g', so I had to disable that too: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11983 > As I understand when reading http://developer.apple.com/hardware/ve/ > it's G4-only, so -g4 would be a better suffix IMO. > Like Marillat's packages have a i386 (ppc/powerpc suffix here) version for > ALL x86-based archs and i686,k7,k6 specific versions (g4 suffix) for CPU > optimized mplayer/mencoder packages. Well, I'm not very familiar with the PowerPC family of processors yet, will the g5 have a different/improved altivec instruction set? Is it still called altivec then? In this case -g4 would make more sense. I'm also still unsure what will be the best -mcpu and -march flags for the G4s (although I doubt it will make much of a difference). -- Guido
