I was trying to run mpeg2divx (http://www.emulinks.de/divx/) which uses the
avifile libraries. When it loads the libraries it does the autodetect to
determine CPU type, detects a PIII and tries to use SSE instructioins which
causes an illegal instructiona in mpeg2divx. (you need a 2.4 kernel to get
mpeg2divx to work on a P3)
When mpeg2divx runs it prints out :
Available CPU flags: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge
mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr xmm
My question is how do you set these flags? Is it an environmental variable,
some compile time option, some lines of code I could fudge to make it run as
using mmx instructions? I looked aorund the documentation and through
some of the source code and couldn't find any more information.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
