[Theora-dev] compiling theora-mmx on AMD64

[Dan Lenski]

Hi all,
I'm a Theora noob and just taking a look at the theora-mmx package in
hopes of making Thoggen run faster for DVD ripping.  I've checked out
the latest svn of the theora-mmx branch and trying to compile it on
Ubuntu Dapper AMD64.

I run autogen.sh, then make, and soon get the following errors:

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/dlenski/theora-mmx/lib'
if /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.

        then mv -f ".deps/libtheora_la-cpu.Tpo"

I've googled reports of theora-mmx on AMD64... and have found some
hazy results suggesting that people have got theora-mmx working on
AMD64.  Can anyone give me any tips on getting it to work?  Thanks a
lot,

Dan
