error while compiling x264 in linux - linux

Question

Hey all
I'm trying to compile x264 under linux (x64). But it keeps throwing me an error. I've googled around but found nothing. Here's the commandline history:
spin#around:~/x264$ git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264.git

spin#around:~/x264/x264$ ./configure
Found no assembler
Minimum version is yasm-0.7.0
If you really want to compile without asm, configure with --disable-asm.
spin#around:~/x264/x264$ ./configure --disable-asm
Platform: X86_64
System: LINUX
asm: no
avs: no
lavf: no
ffms: no
gpac: no
gpl: yes
thread: posix
filters: crop select_every
debug: no
gprof: no

You can run 'make' or 'make fprofiled' now.

and here is the file, from line 83 to 91:

if( h == 2 ) return;
M128( d+s*2+0 ) = (__m128)v16;
M128( d+s*3+0 ) = (__m128)v16;
#else

Answer 1

v4si is a SSE identifier, which only exists when -msse is passed to gcc. Report a bug upstream.
