Compilation on BeOS:
--------------------
François Revol - revol@free.fr - July 2002
The configure script should guess the configuration itself.
Networking support is currently not finished.
errno issues fixed by Andrew Bachmann.
Old stuff:
François Revol - revol@free.fr - April 2002
The configure script should guess the configuration itself,
however I still didn't tested building on net_server version of BeOS.
ffserver is broken (needs poll() implementation).
There is still issues with errno codes, which are negative in BeOs, and
that ffmpeg negates when returning. This ends up turning errors into
valid results, then crashes.
