Description Christoph Vogtländer 2004-03-14 06:48:44 UTC 
When you try to compile mjpegtools it tries to enable altivec. Because the G3 has no altivec support compilation dies. The process outputs a lot of 
add_pred.c:175: error: can't convert between vector values of different size
and
add_pred.c:175: error: Cannot pass argument in vector register because altivec instructions are disabled, use -maltivec to enable them.

When adding myconf="${myconf} --disable-simd-accel" to the ebuild it runs fine (only with me, tough).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge mjpegtools

Comment 1 Michael Hanselmann (hansmi) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-14 14:20:18 UTC 
I checked in a patch which should fix that. Use the following command to install the latest version of mjpegtools after doing a rsync:

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~ppc" emerge =mjpegtools-1.6.2-r2

If it does not work, please reopen this bug.
