+building xine on solaris
+------------------------
+
+* Compile xine with GNU make (gmake, /opt/sfw/bin/gmake)
+
+* If you get a "fatal: relocation error" ... "symbol __divdi3:
+ referenced symbol not found" error when running xine, re-configure
+ xine-lib with gcc as the linker command (env LD=gcc configure ...)
+
+* To get VIS accelerated MPEG decoding and colour space conversion
+ on Solaris SPARC, download and install Sun's mediaLib 2.0, available
+ here:
+
+ http://www.sun.com/sparc/vis/mediaLib.html
+
+
+Known Problems
+--------------
+
+* Can't use MIT shared memory for local video display
+
+ The default value for the maximum allowed shared memory segment size
+ (1MByte) is very small on solaris. You may want to increase the
+ max. allowed shared memory segment size. Add the following line to
+ /etc/system to increase the shmmax parameter to 8MBytes:
+
+ set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=8388608
+
+ Reboot the machine after modifying /etc/system to activate the new
+ default.
