[XviD-devel] No yasm support?

[Michael Militzer]

Hi,

the X86_64 code does not assemble with yasm. It's not difficult to make it
work with yasm but then nasm won't swallow it anymore.

You could add assembler specific macros to make it work with both yasm and
nasm - but why? I don't think it should be a huge problem to have both yasm
and nasm installed on your build machine...

Regards,
Michael
