[XviD-devel] libxvidcore OS4 port (source code changes)

[Michael Militzer]

Hi,

you're right. The semantics of gcc's -maltivec is different to Apple's
-faltivec. I've tried to change autoconf/Makefile on xvid HEAD to
consider this as you suggested. I have no PPC available to test though...

Regards,
Michael
