#28 Compile problem

[Anonymous]

I'm having problem compile openquicktime2alpha1.
I'm using CentOS4 (a cousin of Fedora Core 3 and is
very like RHEL4 the one and the same kernel).
It has gcc 3.4.3; libcurl 7.12.1.
I want to use aac so I also compiled faad2 first
(offcial 2.0 not the CVS snapshot).
Run ./configure without problem but when I run make it
complain about "FAILE" not define when compile io_curl.c.
So I modified the configure script myself to make it
not using libcurl (because I just want to use amarok
with gstreamer to listen to my m4a collection) and run
make. This time it went pass the io_curl.c point but
got a problem when compile with the faad.h about
function NeroAACInit or so (sorry I forgot to copy the
error log and got angry that I stop try to compile this).
So I hope you guys can help me out. I'm new to linux
(just tried it for 2 weeks) but I really like it
(because it's free ^_^). I can't find a good AAC/M4A
player in Linux (XMMS is good if it's not crash every
now and then with m4a files) is the only thing keep me
using Windows!!!
And you guys should update this program more often.I
guess the problem is that this program is too old to
compile with new library it depends on or newer gcc.

I had to alter some openquicktime-2.0.0a1 source code as
well. The first is in
openquicktime-2.0.0a1/videoplugins/sorenson/svq1.c
This is not a bug in the source code. It's caused by
a flaw in gcc. (new is < and old is >).

There is a problem in the source code for openquicktime
that is real in codec_faac.c. (new is < and old is >).
