[XviD-devel] compile xvid using nasm

[programmer@bardware.de]

Hi,

I was trying to compile xvidcore 1.2.1 as downloaded from xvid.org on a ubuntu intrepid system.
./configure reported nasm was found but the version number was wrong. xvid tries to determine the nasm version calling
nasm_major=nasm -v | cut -d '.' -f 2 | cut -d ' ' -f 1
nasm_minor=nasm -v | cut -d '.' -f 1 | cut -d ' ' -f 3
As of version 2.06rc3, nasm outputs the result of a call to nasm -v to stderr. Thus cut - expecting it's input from stdin - cannot determine the version number and compiles without using nasm though present and ready to use.

Best,
