           Summary: sdl_gfx defaults to using x86 MMX assembler on PPC
                    (perhaps also other archs) - workaround
           Product: Codex
           Version: stable grimoire
          Platform: PPC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P2
         Component: libs
        AssignedTo: sm-grimoire-bugs AT lists.ibiblio.org
        ReportedBy: eekee AT eekee.is-a-geek.org


Compiling SDL_gfx-2.0.10 (stable) and SDL_gfx-2.0.13 (test) fails on my PPC
machine due to x86 assembler being passed to the compiler. I have added a
configuration option to the spell governing configure's --enable-mmx option. 
The
CONFIGURE file needs to be created, containing this line:

config_query MMX "Enable MMX? Do *NOT* use on x86_64 or ppc platforms " n

And here is the patch for BUILD:

              --prefix=/usr         \
              --sysconfdir=/etc     \


Ideally, the spell should probably test for MMX availability as the effectv
spell does and adjust the default accordingly, I guess.
