hard-coded path to gas. In the worst case pass @code{--disable-asm}
to configure.
+@section Advanced linking configuration
+
+If you compiled Libav libraries statically and you want to use them to
+build your own shared library, you may need to force PIC support (with
+@code{--enable-pic} during Libav configure) and add the following option
+to your project LDFLAGS:
+
+@example
+-Wl,-Bsymbolic
+@end example
+
+If your target platform requires position independent binaries, you should
+pass the correct linking flag (e.g. @code{-pie}) to @code{--extra-ldexeflags}.
+
@section BSD
BSD make will not build Libav, you need to install and use GNU Make
unacelerated code.
OS X on PowerPC or ARM (iPhone) requires a preprocessor from
-@url{http://github.com/yuvi/gas-preprocessor} to build the optimized
-assembler functions. Just download the Perl script and put it somewhere
+@url{git://git.libav.org/gas-preprocessor.git} to build the optimized
+assembly functions. Put the Perl script somewhere
in your PATH, Libav's configure will pick it up automatically.
OS X on AMD64 and x86 requires @command{yasm} to build most of the
-optimized assembler functions @url{http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/, Homebrew},

-Libav can be built with MSVC using a C99-to-C89 conversion utility and

You will need the following prerequisites:

-To set up a proper MSVC environment in MSYS, you simply need to run
-@code{msys.bat} from the Visual Studio command prompt.
+To set up a proper environment in MSYS, you need to run @code{msys.bat} from

-Next, make sure @code{inttypes.h} and any other headers and libs you want to use
-are located in a spot that MSVC can see. Do so by modifying the @code{LIB} and
-@code{INCLUDE} environment variables to include the @strong{Windows} paths to
-these directories. Alternatively, you can try and use the
-@code{--extra-cflags}/@code{--extra-ldflags} configure options.

Finally, run:

make
make install

+If you wish to compile shared libraries, add @code{--enable-shared} to your
+configure options. Note that due to the way MSVC and ICL handle DLL imports and
+exports, you cannot compile static and shared libraries at the same time, and
+enabling shared libraries will automatically disable the static ones.

-Libav headers do not declare global data for Windows DLLs through the usual
-dllexport/dllimport interface. Such data will be exported properly while
-building, but to use them in your MSVC code you will have to edit the
-appropriate headers and mark the data as dllimport. For example, in

+@chapter Plan 9
+
+The native @uref{http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9/, Plan 9} compiler
+does not implement all the C99 features needed by Libav so the gcc
+port must be used. Furthermore, a few items missing from the C
+library and shell environment need to be fixed.
+
+@itemize
+
+@item GNU awk, grep, make, and sed
+
+Working packages of these tools can be found at
+@uref{http://code.google.com/p/ports2plan9/downloads/list, ports2plan9}.
+They can be installed with @uref{http://9front.org/, 9front's} @code{pkg}
+utility by setting @code{pkgpath} to
+@code{http://ports2plan9.googlecode.com/files/}.
+
+@item Missing/broken @code{head} and @code{printf} commands
+
+Replacements adequate for building Libav can be found in the
+@code{compat/plan9} directory. Place these somewhere they will be
+found by the shell. These are not full implementations of the
+commands and are @emph{not} suitable for general use.
+
+@item Missing C99 @code{stdint.h} and @code{inttypes.h}
+
+Replacement headers are available from
+@url{http://code.google.com/p/plan9front/issues/detail?id=152}.
+
+@item Missing or non-standard library functions
+
+Some functions in the C library are missing or incomplete. The
+@code{@uref{http://ports2plan9.googlecode.com/files/gcc-apelibs-1207.tbz,
+gcc-apelibs-1207}} package from
+@uref{http://code.google.com/p/ports2plan9/downloads/list, ports2plan9}
+includes an updated C library, but installing the full package gives
+unusable executables. Instead, keep the files from @code{gccbin.tgz}
+under @code{/386/lib/gnu}. From the @code{libc.a} archive in the
+@code{gcc-apelibs-1207} package, extract the following object files and
+turn them into a library:
+
+@itemize
+@item @code{strerror.o}
+@item @code{strtoll.o}
+@item @code{snprintf.o}
+@item @code{vsnprintf.o}
+@item @code{vfprintf.o}
+@item @code{_IO_getc.o}
+@item @code{_IO_putc.o}
+@end itemize
+
+Use the @code{--extra-libs} option of @code{configure} to inform the
+build system of this library.
+
+@item FPU exceptions enabled by default
+
+Unlike most other systems, Plan 9 enables FPU exceptions by default.
+These must be disabled before calling any Libav functions. While the
+included tools will do this automatically, other users of the
+libraries must do it themselves.
