Hi all, Does anyone at all use the Openquicktime library for anything useful?
I would like to remove this package from BLFS for the following reasons: 1. It is a dead project. No new stable release in over 4 years. 2. There is a mention of an optional downloadable codec, but no mention what to do with it or how to make any use of it. 3. The current GCC-3.4 patch is a semi-hack and now a new patch will be required for GCC-4 as it will not build. 4. There is no BLFS package which references this library as a dependency. 5. There is a better quicktime library which *is* referenced as a dependency in BLFS packages at http://libquicktime.sourceforge.net/ -- Randy rmlinux: [bogomips 3923.96] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.1] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.5] [Linux 2.6.12.4 i686] 00:23:00 up 8 days, 12:19, 7 users, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.05 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
