have compiled mjpegtools via Fink previously. Fink didn't know about y4mscaler)
Ah, that explains it ;)
I failed to mention that I did try to compile y4mscaler manually from the tarball but I'm not so familiar with this stuff. Phrases like "You may need/want to edit "Makefile" to change MJPEG_PREFIX or other relevant parameters" make me dizzy. What relevant parameters?!
I know this is simple basic stuff but I'm still learning via osmosis so please be patient.
3. cd y4mscaler-X.Y edit the Makefile to comment out the IA32/X86 flags uncomment or add the flags for the PPC cpu. In y4mscaler-8.1 there are template/example CFLAGS lines present for both the G4 and G5 based systems:
# ...for the G4 PPC (courtesy of sms): #CPU_OPT= -mtune=7450 -mcpu=7450 -finline-functions -mdynamic-no-pic
# ...for the G5 PPC (courtesy of sms): CPU_OPT = -mtune=G5 -mcpu=G5 -ffast-math -finline-functions -mdynamic-no-pic
4. make
'make install' does not exist so you need to copy the manpage and executable into the desired location.
cp y4mscaler /usr/local/bin/y4mscaler cp y4mscaler.1 /usr/local/man/man1/y4mscaler.1
Thanks. I tried it but it seems that I have to edit some files to point to /sw where Fink has installed mjpegtools. And I didn't find the neccessary files there. Maybe I should forget Fink, bite the bullet, and install also mjpegtools manually. I'll do it some day.
Thanks again.
