Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mplayer
Hi.
mplayer 2:1.0~rc3+svn20090426-1ubuntu10.1 (from karmic) crashes on my
PowerPC with a SIGILL (signal 4) in init_video_coded on my father's G3
computer.
I have not yet investigated, but I would bet that this is because it is
compiled with altivec enabled, while the computer does not have that
(this is similar to compiling a program requiring SSE4.1 to run on
generic i686 computers).
Is there any possibility of providing two packages, one compiled with
altivec and other compiled without? I can provide patches, if desired.
Regards, Rogério Brito.
