Please have a look here: http://git.libav.org/?p=libav.git;a=blob;f=configure;h=1aae93b3d243ca192cc12eb46d8607ede8407ebe;hb=HEAD#l2726 TBH, I do not feel comfortable with maintaining this patch outside of libav, escp. since upstream already does take care about unusual environments. The libav packaging is already complicated enough. Therefore, I would like to ask you to reconsider your decision to implement this with configure switches instead of implementing the logic in the configuration script. -- regards, Reinhard _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
