Folks, I am running F20 PPC64 on a Mac G5. I have been able to download the source RPM's from RPM Fusion and do an rpmbuild --rebuild on most of my needed packages. However, I am running into an issue with these three packages. I download the ffmpeg srpm, and it says that I need gpac, and x264. However, when I download the x264 or gpac srpm and try to compile it, it says that I need ffmpeg. This is worse than dll hell! Is there a manual/instructions on getting around this circular logic. I am stuck in a catch-22.

Thanks a lot! This worked for me, but I had to do some more digging as I am a newbie with this depth/amount of RPM manipulation. I found the x264 spec file, and after updating that line, I did a "-ba" recompile of that file. Did the ffmpeg, gpac, and then commented out that line, and another -ba recompile of x264 and everything seems to have lived nicely.

I don't know if this is the right list or anything, but the last PPC repo was for F12. Should we bring it back? Like I said, I don't want to send this machine packing just yet... even if Apple has. If anyone is interested, please email back; otherwise I'll just post the ppc64 packages on my server for download.
