I didn't notice that 0.5.1 had been released! Been using 0.5 for ages, and thinking I probably ought to move to a snapshot for future builds. Oh well. My one insight is that the version of x264 (I don't think that is in the book) needs to be compatible with the ffmpeg being used. OTOH, I only built most of this stuff to ameliorate my youtube experience, and that is now generally unusable without the adobe binary tarball. One one of my machines I've gone over to the dark side and installed that. On the other I've been trying to get totem's youtube plugin working, but so far without success (and if it is like the iplayer plugin, it may yet turn out to be 32-bit only). Meanwhile, I'm still mostly updating my buildscripts. Nowadays I'm only building on x86_64, and LFS-6.6, so my space/time measurements probably won't match yours anyway. ĸen -- After tragedy, and farce, "OMG poneys!" -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
