[XviD-devel] building xvid on OS X 10.5 works

[Simone Karin Lehmann]

Hi all,

as described in

http://list.xvid.org/pipermail/xvid-devel/2007-December/005714.html

building xvid on OS X 10.5 Intel fails with some linking errors in the  
asm code. This could be fixed very easily, if you use yasm as you  
assembler instead of Apple's nasm.

You can find yasm on

http://www.tortall.net/projects/yasm

Just download the sources and compile yasm the usual way (configure;  
make; make install). Right after that xvid will compile without any  
errors. You'll need to run xvid's configure first. (configure should  
detect your previously installed yasm)

next, edit your platform.inc as shown on

http://rob.opendot.cl/index.php/useful-stuff/xvid-with-asm-on-os-x/

and make shure, that your assembler is set to yasm in the  
corresponding assembler section

AS=yasm


Works like a charm, here on my Mac (Intel, OS X 10.5.1)
