This is the important message: |

Noone has used mplayer on aix yet, or at least not reported back the |
| 34 |
necessary changes upstream. |

Yes. |

Maybe yes, if you find out how to add AIX-support to mplayer (itself, |
| 48 |
not the ebuild only). |

It is the x-modular.eclass pulling in either binutils or odcctools. |
| 54 |
You might want to allow sys-devel/native-cctools too to suffice the |
| 55 |
binutils dependency. IFF that really works, we can commit something like |
| 56 |
this: |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
--- eclass/x-modular.eclass (revision 27855) |
| 59 |
+++ eclass/x-modular.eclass (working copy) |
| 60 |
- || ( >=sys-devel/binutils-2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/odcctools )" |
| 61 |
+ || ( >=sys-devel/binutils-2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/odcctools sys-devel/native-cctools )" |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
But please note: |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
While we can install many packages on AIX, we still do not emulate some |
| 66 |
sort of Desktop-PC on top of AIX - it's still AIX after all. |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
We only can install software that has been "designed" (even if not |
| 69 |
explicitly) to work on AIX (or "any flavour of Unix") too. |
