compile x264 on a amd64 linux box

[FooFighter007]

Hi,

I'm no developer but wants to try this new codec on my gentoo box.
I keep in touch with the svn branch
# svn co svn://svn.videolan.org/x264/trunk x264

When I try to compile with the provided Makefile I get errors due to incorrect registers as my amd64 cpu doesn't seem to be supported yet.

Is there a amd64 ready Makefile/Patchfile out there?

Regards,

Foo

No. More than a new Makefile would be required. The assembly code would have to be ported to x86_64 and probably compiled with yasm.

The best you can do right now is build it in your 32-bit chroot environment.

Your 64-bit Mplayer will play it though.;)

thank you!
I'll try this gentoo guide after work to make my system x264 ready :)
