[mythtv-users] Compilation problems

[Jesse F. Hughes]

Hello.

I have a somewhat dated Slackware system and I'm trying to upgrade
from mythtv-0.20.2 to 0.21-fixes.  I'm having some issues that seem to
be familiar.

When I configure and make, the compilation craps out on dsputil_mmx,
with the following output:

ccache distcc gcc -c -pipe -march=pentiumpro -mmmx -fomit-frame-pointer -O3 -pth  
read -Wall -Wno-switch -Wdisabled-optimization -Wpointer-arith -Wredundant-decls

This occurs whether I use --enable-proc-opt or not in the
configuration step.  I've appended the output for configure below.

I've tried disabling mmx, but I get an error message later in the
build.  I haven't bothered to reproduce the error message here (yet),
since I tend to think that disabling mmx isn't really the right thing
to do.  (I could be convinced otherwise, since I don't really know
what mmx is.)

I'd appreciate any help you could offer.  I'm hopeful that I can
compile this program without upgrading my distribution, since I'm
putting that off for a little while.
