then use --disable-asm. or figure out how to avoid SSE3. we probably
can't really use SSE3 in packages anyway.
hmmm. in encoder.c:
#ifdef HAVE_MMX
if( !(x264_cpu_detect() & X264_CPU_SSE) )
{
x264_log( h, X264_LOG_ERROR, "your cpu does not support SSE1, but x264
was compiled with asm support\n");
x264_log( h , X264_LOG_ERROR, "to run x264, recompile without asm
support (configure --disable-asm)\n");
return -1;
}
#endif
so, we really should use --disable-asm anyway, or the packages won't
work on all machines.
note that other multimedia ports solve this issue with "optimized"
(or in the case of ppc, "altivec") flavor(s).
