Hi again... The athlon 64 does have mmx as flags ...so that's not an issue
when i do emerge -pv ...it does seem that iits not using mmx And i have an interesting problem when i do : emerge --info I get this in my USE flags USE="amd64 X a52 aalib acpi alsa arts audiofile avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdr crypt cups curl directfb dri dvd dvdr eds emboss encode esd exif expat f77 fam ffmpeg flac foomaticdb fortran gd gdbm gif glut gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal idn imagemagick imlib ipv6 java jpeg kde lcms libcaca libg++ libwww lirc lm_sensors lzw lzw-tiff mad mikmod mng motif mozilla mp3 mpeg mysql ncurses nls nptl ogg oggvorbis openal opengl pam pam_console pcre pdflib perl png python qt quicktime readline recode scanner sdl slang speex spell sqlite ssl tcltk tcpd tetex tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev usb userlocales v4l vorbis xine xml2 xmms xorg xpm xv zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" which is a different version from what i have in the actual make.conf So i wonder if this is cached somewhere and emerge is not reading my new version of /etc/make.conf So from where is it generating that USE flags or have i corrupted my portage tree by any chance ? regards Kumar On 3/8/06, Patrick B�rjesson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 2006-03-08 00:20, Kumar Golap uttered these thoughts: > > I have the following USE in my make.conf (on an athlon64 machine) > > USE="3dnow xorg a52 alsa acpi arts avi berkdb cdr crypt cups dvdr dvd > > encode foomaticdb ffmpeg flac gdbm gif gpm gtk gtk2 hal imlib jpeg kde > > gnome libg++ libwww lm_sensors mad mikmod mmx motif mpeg mysql ncurses > > nls oggvorbis opengl pam pam_console pdflib png python qt quicktime > > readline sdl slang spell sse ssl svga tcpd tiff truetype usb X xml2 > > xmms xv zlib f77 v4l win32codecs" > > > > > > And when i do: equery uses xawtv i get the following: > > [ Searching for packages matching xawtv... ] > > [ Colour Code : set unset ] > > [ Legend : Left column (U) - USE flags from make.conf > > ] > > [ : Right column (I) - USE flags packages was installed > > with ] > > [ Found these USE variables for media-tv/xawtv-3.95-r1 ] > [snip] > > - - mmx : Adds support for optimizations for Pentium MMX and > > Athlon class processors > [snip] > > > Please note that "mmx" seems to be missing in both columns. despite > > that its there in my USE in make.conf > > > > When i do: emerge --pretend --newuse xawtv > > > > It basically reports that nothing need to be done > > Try a > $ emerge -vp xawtv > and see if the mmx useflag is set in that output...
