ERRORS/MISCELLANEOUS
--------------------
The source has been extensively patched via debian patches on the 0.4.5 + CVS source but also has its autoconf and libtool configurations been remade on a linux system. Also the install-sh script was old and buggy so i replaced that one with a newer version.

I have therefore re-archived the source and not included a separate patch file.

The glmovie program does not work correctly because of a change in SDL 1.2.6 about the non-portability of Overlays with openGL, specifically the SDL_CreateYUVOverlay and allocating buffers with SDL_OPENGL. The overlay creation will fail and gets assigned to a null pointer, ensueing a segfault.

This change is by SDL design, so the only way the glmovie program will work again is to not use SDL_CreateYUVOverlay, but do some software YUV->RGB conversion.

This package has dual support for both mips3 and mips4 architecture, controlled by the mach(CPUARCH=R4000) switch for libraries and executables.
