ABI demands PIC code. This fixes the build.
A big patch to make the asm PIC is available from gentoo at
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90287
in case someone knowledgable is interested in verifying and integrating it.
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
netbsd/alpha and solaris/sparc as well. Bulk builds will point out which
platforms are not supported.
- nasm dependency is only useful on i386 and amd64.
Ok with joerg. This fixes PR#32803.
This release is the long awaited 1.1.0. It is mostly API compatible
with the previous stable release as we dropped support for reduced
resolution coding. If your application didn't use that feature then the
upgrade is totally compatible.
Changes since 1.0.3:
* xvidcore:
* Improved Low bitrate quality.

* Various decoder and encoder speedups
* A few bugs squashed
* VFW frontend
* Mingw/CygWin support
* Various small improvements
* A few bugs squashed
* DShow frontend
* Mingw/CygWin support
* Support for brightness control
* Various small improvements
* A few bugs squashed
Changes since 1.1.0-beta2:
* xvidcore
* Field interlaced decoding
* IEEE-1180 compliant SSE2 iDCT (disabled for safety)
* Fixed misaligned reads on RISC platforms such as ARM
* Completed GCC 4.0 support
* Export only public API on GNU/Linux and Solaris
* Work on the example apps. Support for AVS input in xvid_encraw
* VFW frontend
* Small updates
* DShow frontend
* Additional fourcc support
Changes since 1.0.1:
* xvidcore
o Fixed non compliant bvop decoding
(was using rounding=0 instead of rounding=1)
o Added better mv bound clipping for broken streams.
o Better behavior with content claiming not containing bvops
but eventually having bvops.
o Force fincr and fbase to be < 16bit.
o Fixed thread safety problem in C language iDCT implementation.
* VFW frontend
o Memory leak
has been nearly rewritten. Output quality is much, much better, and is
generally considered superior to other freely available MPEG-4 encoders.
Tested with xine, mplayer and transcode.
