Hmm. It compiled and ran on my 1.1R+2.1.1 system without a hitch.
All I did was
(1) Grab the latest source from ftp-s2k.cs.berkeley.edu:pub/multimedia/mpeg
(2) Take out $(ANALYSIS) from EXTRA_DEFINES in Imakefile.proto
(3) cp Imakefile.proto Imakefile
(4) xmkmf; make depend; make; make install
My system has SYSVSHM defined in the kernel config file and MITSHM
defined in the XFree86 config file (this should be automatic for
FreeBSD-1.1R). If you don't have it in your kernel, you have to take
out $(SHMEM) from Imakefile as well. It still works, but it will be
somewhat slower (about 10% when I tried -shmem_off on my system).
If enough people scream for it, I can put it on freebsd.cdrom.com....
* Replies by email would be fine.
I assume you are reading here too. Tell me if you aren't, I'll send
this message by mail too.
