mpeg2 on OpenBSD

[Felix Kronlage <fkr-ml_(_at_)_grummel_(_dot_)_net>]

Hi folks,

this morning I took a look at several open-source projekts
working on mpeg2-capable "players" for unices.
Among these projects were the following:

http://www.videolan.org/
http://xine.sourceforge.net/
http://www.linuxvideo.org/ (mpeg2dec)

Trying to compile each of them, I get stuck at some point ;(
(I run -current from two days ago)

http://www.videolan.org/vlc/bsd.html states about their port to
*BSD.
Trying to compile vlc-0.2.73, it stops with these messages:

No, I have to admit, I don't know nothing about assembler :(

Next candidate was mpeg2dec-0.2.0:

| /tmp/ccE32632.s: Assembler messages:
| /tmp/ccE32632.s:255: Error: no such 386 instruction: `emms'
| /tmp/ccE32632.s:532: Error: no such 386 instruction: `emms'
| *** Error code 1

xine-0.4.3 was next, but already chokes on -lpthread during 
configure....

| checking for pthread_create in -lpthread... no

Maybe someone else has some ideas on how to get further on these
things...
