[mythtv-users] Compiling MythTV for PPC without Altivec?

[Henry Leinhos]

Hi,
I'm trying to compile mythtv (0.20 as well as svn) for my G3/PPC-750 desktop 
machine.  The standard configure options (i.e. --enable-altivec) gives me an 
Illegal Instruction error at startup.  If I configure with 
 --disable-altivec, I get the following assembler errors: 

...
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/henry/src/mythtv-svn/libs/libmythmpeg2'

Are there any additional CFLAGS I need to add (-m options) to get this to 
compile without altivec? 

Thanks,
Henry 

(BTW, I'm using a FC6/PPC distro with gcc 4.1.1)
