FTBFS libavcodec: Error: unbalanced parenthesis in operand 1.

[ptecza@…]

I can't compile the latest SVN trunk revision (r29324) under my OpenSolaris Indiana box. It fails with the following error message:

Should I give you another information? For example my config.h and config.mak files?

Gas doesn't like the following syntax that results from the MACRO IIRMUL

ff_mlp_iirorder_3:

*

mov 0x08+4*(8 + (40 * (192000 / 48000)))(%ebp), %eax

*
imull 0x08+4* 8(%edi)
add %eax , %esi
adc %edx , %ecx

Workaround for the solaris gas paren matching bug

[nikke@…]

The bug seems to be that the GNU assembler available on Solaris (in my case
OpenSolaris 2009.06) doesn't seem to like nested parentheses.

This patch shows how to work around this by simply evaluating the expression
in the header file. Ugly but effective.

Niklas, thanks a lot for the patch! Now I can compile and run MPlayer
under OpenSolaris 2009.06 :D
