One more followup: I even managed to use the external loadable modules
from ftp://xanim.va.pubnix.com/modules :-) This is what I have done:
1. mget *c5.tgz from ftp://xanim.va.pubnix.com/modules
2. gunzip and untar them all
3. mv vid*.xa to /some/dir
4. export XANIM_MOD_DIR=/some/dir
5. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/compat/linux/lib (linux emu must be installed of course).
6. run xanim 2.80.0 from the ports
Step 5 is only neccessary to satisfy the need for _IO_stderr_ needed by some
of the vid*.xa files. This is a hack and there is surely a more elegant solution...
Now, I finally got indeo 4.1 and indeo 5.0 support!!!
