Bug 87668 – mplayer ebuild's incorrectly warns about 3dnowex

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description gent_bz 2005-04-02 06:36:22 UTC]

Significant details:

$ grep flags /proc/cpuinfo
flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse pni syscall mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow
(Note presence of "3dnowext")

# USE=3dnowex emerge mplayer
...
 * You have 3dnowex support enabled but your processor doesn't
 * Seem to support it!  You might be cross compiling or do not have /proc filesystem
 * enabled.  If either is the case, set CROSSCOMPILE to 1 to disable this warning.

The problem arises from the fact that mplayer's configure option to add 3dnowext support is missing the 't'.

It would probably be sufficient (and most correct/consistent) to rename the USE flag to 3dnowext and change the relevant use_enable line appropriately.

Just noticed that media-video/mplayer/ChangeLog appears to indicate that this should have happened with mplayer-1.0_pre6-r2, and my apologies if it is already in place - I'm not going to resync my portage tree again to check (dialup).

After a quick look at the ebuild in viewcvs, I can say that this bug still exists - 3dnowext should have the 't'.

That feature will be removed if enough people dislike it.

'feature'?

The feature is fine, it's the unnecessary warning that I have would like to see resolved.

Fixed then
