Re: [Openquicktime-devel] Compilation of under IRIX/MIPSpro

[Yann <ya...@3i...>]

I'm personnaly not able to help you compiling OQT on MIPS cause I haven't
access to such baby.
But of course, all patches are welcome, the simplier for the moment is to
send them directly to
the dev-mailing list, then one of the developper will apply and test them.

Keep us aware of your progress,

Yann.
