I am attempting to "make" xmovie-1.9.12 from source code (taken from sourceforge.net). Why? It supports quicktime and I decided to examine the claims that Linux allows people to take advantage of AMD64 by recompiling programs. So, I installed a lot of development packages from the mandrake cds and then downloaded the code. Then I opened up a SU shell and ran "./configure" and "make". Make ran for a while and eventually terminated with an error.I have read the "README" files associated with compiling quicktime 4 linux and it mentions something about setting "CFLAGS" manually. I have tried Google but can't seem to find anything relevant.

Anyway, if someone could please tell me which specific libraries are responsible for the following errors I'd appreciate it. What the hell are mm_flags? Mandrake won me over with the installer but maybe I'd save more time going w/ something else? Pointing me to RPM's is not the point here. I want to compile!

If you can get the source rpm you should be able to use that.

Which source RPM do you mean? I have the source code to the application that I'm compiling but I need to figure out where to set "CFLAGS" and define mm_flags and such. I've sort of given up on this application unless someone can point me in the right direction.

I'm currently working on compiling gDesklets. but the number of dependencies is turning out to be an infinite chain. And the best part is that I can't find the RPMs (at least not of the proper version or on the public mirrors) I need.... this is just AWESOME.....

just if you would like to use rpms (if you can find the ones you need). You can use .src.rpm files which are the source code in an rpm. You can build it like any other source code, except the result is an rpm file for your system.

Are you positive that quicktime works with 64 bit?AFAIK there is only a 32 bit binary for the codec available that doesn't play work with 64 bit.

Well, AMD 64 processors running in a 64 bit OS *should* still be able to execute 32 bit binaries. Also, recompiling an application from its source code *should* allow the compiler to optimize the new binary to take advantage of all the extra registers and such that Athlon64 processors provide.

This is the way it "should" work. I've been trying to compile gDesktlets from source (because I can't find an RPM) and that dependencies are driving me insane.

You might want to have a look here:

don't know how mandrake handles 32 bit compatability.

right , I have a 64 chip running suse in 32 bit mode and software runs fine.
even the crossoffice works like a charm
