I was able to build the latest VLC for PowerPC, after many years being unable to be built. It was shown to work on the new Mirari board, a PowerPC based computer with the e5500 chip. The Mirari does not have Altivec instructions. The VLC packages were built with Altivec disabled. VLC PowerPC is only available in MintPPC32, not in Debian.
How can I install VLC on my PowerBook G4?
sudo apt install vlc-data=3.0.21-11+mintppc2
sudo apt install vlc
Thank you for your help.
