Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2004 12:42:19 +0100 From: Max Horn Subject: SDL_HasAltiVec; BUGS file the attached patch adds SDL_HasAltiVec to SDL CVS. Note that at this point, this only works on MacOSX (and maybe darwin). I don't know how to properly add a test for e.g. Linux/PPC at this point. I found an email which might help in doing so: http://zebra.fh-weingarten.de/~maxi/html/mplayer-dev-eng/2003-01msg00783.html However, since I have no way to test on a non-OSX PowerPC system, I am not comfortable blindly adding such code... I just hope that if somebody from the Linux/PPC (or FreeBSD/PPC, or whatever) community notices this, they'll jump up and provide a patch for us ;-)
