Description
I tried to compile Altivec code in common/scaler/hq3x.h on GCC 3.4.3 (Cygwin, host=ppc-amigaos) but it gives me errors.
For example, this:
#ifdef USE_ALTIVEC // The YUV threshold. static const vector unsigned char vThreshold = (vector unsigned char)((vector unsigned int)0x00300706);
Gives an error of "different sized vectors" or something similar.
Does this code compile for MacOS?

The altivec code has been removed, so this item is now kind obsolete ;-).

Yes, it works perfectly fine under Mac OS X. I don't think that that GCC 3.x on non-apple systems has a fully compatible Altivec extension syntax. You may have somewhat more luck using GCC 4.x
