Don't get me wrong. Now, I have installed all the GNU tools (gtail, gawk, gsed, ggrep) from blastwave. I am on a sparc, and the configure script does not seem to notice i am on a sparc, and eventually complains about some x64 assembler (will report this if I get the rest of the build working), so must use --target=solaris-sparc. Now libavcodec is unhappy: eval.c: In function `eval_expr': eval.c:158: error: incompatible types in initialization eval.c:182: error: incompatible types in return eval.c: In function `ff_eval2': eval.c:421: error: incompatible types in return gmake[1]: *** [eval.o] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/export/home/edd/Desktop/mplayer/libavcodec' gmake: *** [libavcodec/libavcodec.a] Error 2 It is not happy with the declataion of 'NAN' which it is expecting as a double by the look of it. My OpenBSD box defines NAN in libc like this: #define NAN (*(float *)(void *)__nan) Which is a function pointer to some internal gcc function? Sorry, I don't know enough about C to take this any further. So any ideas?
