usual, but add the "--powerpc-perf-enable" option. For instance:
#####
-./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ffmpeg-cvs --cc=gcc-3.3 --tune=7450 --powerpc-perf-enable
+./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ffmpeg-svn --cc=gcc-3.3 --tune=7450 --powerpc-perf-enable
#####
-This will configure FFmpeg to install inside /usr/local/ffmpeg-cvs,
+This will configure FFmpeg to install inside /usr/local/ffmpeg-svn,
compiling with gcc-3.3 (you should try to use this one or a newer
gcc), and tuning for the PowerPC 7450 (i.e. the newer G4; as a rule of
thumb, those at 550Mhz and more). It will also enable the PMC.
Note that "MONster" can be used for many other things, but it's
documented by Apple, it's not my subject.
+If you are using CHUD 4.4.2 or later, you'll notice that MONster is

+configuration of PMCs is available as a plugin.

V) Enabling the PMC on Linux
-I don't know how to do it, sorry :-) Any idea very much welcome.
+On linux you may use oprofile from http://oprofile.sf.net, depending on the
+version and the cpu you may need to apply a patch[1] to access a set of the
+possibile counters from the userspace application. You can always define them
+using the kernel interface /dev/oprofile/* .
