building xine on solaris
------------------------

* Compile xine with GNU make (gmake, /opt/sfw/bin/gmake)

* On Solaris x86: The xine code tries to use MMX/SSE/3DNOW! instructions
  of x86 CPUs, which may not assemble using Solaris' /usr/ccs/bin/as.
  Make sure to use the GNU assembler as the assembler backend for the
  GNU C compiler and as a standalone assembler command
  (env AS=gas configure ...).

* 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 video decoding and colour space conversion 
  on Solaris SPARC with an UltraSPARC cpu, 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) and the number of allowed shared memory segments (6)
  is very small on solaris.  You may want to increase both parameters.
  Add the following lines to /etc/system to increase the shmmax parameter
  to 8MBytes and the shmseg parameter to 32:

	set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=8388608
	set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=32

  Reboot the machine after modifying /etc/system to activate the new
  shared memory defaults.
