This fix prevents MythTV from running on any PowerPC without AltiVec support. This includes Macintosh G3's, which are supported by the Ubuntu PowerPC port.
For better PowerPC coverage I would suggest this fix instead: diff rules.orig rules 47c47 < CONFIGURE_OPTS += --enable-altivec --- > CONFIGURE_OPTS += --disable-altivec Alternatively a runtime test for AltiVec capabilty and dynamic loading of AltiVec specific modules. -- mythtv fails to build on powerpc under lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/559614 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mythbuntu Bug Team, which is subscribed to mythtv in ubuntu.
