Re: [Libvisual-users] Future features.

[Thorsten J. <tho...@t-...>]

Hello Dennis,

i´m using Slackintosh. Slackintosh is a (unofficial) port of Slackware 
for Mac. At the moment i build Gnome-Packages on my mac. The basic for 
this is freerock gnome. One of the many packages ist libvisual. This 
won´t build. I made a little patch, which let me build libvisual. At the 
end of this patch (for lv_cpu.c):
***************
*** 424,428 ****
  #endif /* VISUAL_ARCH_X86 */
 
! #if VISUAL_ARCH_POWERPC
        check_os_altivec_support ();
  #endif /* VISUAL_ARCH_POWERPC */
--- 424,428 ----
  #endif /* VISUAL_ARCH_X86 */
 
! #if defined(VISUAL_ARCH_POWERPC)
        check_os_altivec_support ();
  #endif /* VISUAL_ARCH_POWERPC */

I think that´s a bug. The rest of the patch is:

***************
*** 161,174 ****
                _lv_powerpc_canjump = 1;
 
!               asm volatile
                        ("mtspr 256, %0\n\t"
                         "vand %%v0, %%v0, %%v0"
                         :
!                        : "r" (-1));
 
                signal (SIGILL, SIG_DFL);
!               _lv_cpu_caps.hasAltiVec = 1;
        }
! #endif
  }
  #endif
--- 161,174 ----
                _lv_powerpc_canjump = 1;
 
!               /*asm volatile
                        ("mtspr 256, %0\n\t"
                         "vand %%v0, %%v0, %%v0"
                         :
!                        : "r" (-1));*/
 
                signal (SIGILL, SIG_DFL);
!               _lv_cpu_caps.hasAltiVec = 0;
        }
! #endif
  }
  #endif

I have to disable it, because i get an error which say, that "vand" is 
unknown.  Maybe you have a idee, where the problem is.

Bye
  Thorsten
