[MPlayer-users] OS/X Altivec build problem

[Magnus Damm]

Hi there,

Have you tried the CVS version of MPlayer?
If that one has the same problem, try applying the attached patch
and re-run configure. The attached patch makes sure Darwin-style
altivec flags are tried before FSF-style.
Let me know how things work out for you.

Thanks for reporting!
