I'm trying to find a way to show you're talking rubbish without being insulting, but I'm failing. The problem isn't the compiler, but the libraries used, in this case Intel's IPP library. It provides convenience functions for optimised decoding of a number of codecs, and various other optimised decoding routines. Fluendo doesn't have access to the IPP library sources, so we're waiting for Intel to fix this. I'm not holding my breath. > Fedora could modify the policy to allow for execmem from these files > (not sure what the side effects of that are, nor how far reaching this > would be given that the codecs are used in gstreamer). Which is what Dan did for the system-wide plugins. See the bug Valent mentioned earlier in the thread. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
