+
+I have tried building faac, but the problem is i use Mageia Cauldron,
+and faac does not build in cauldron:
+
+/usr/include/string.h:369:28: error: ambiguates old declaration ‘const
+char* strcasestr(const char*, const char*)’
+
+Colin even pointed a website that referred a solution to this and in
+fact let the build go further but still broke.
+
+So for who uses cauldron like me is stuck regarding faac use, of
+course some developer could investigate this and could build faac and
+put it available in some third party repo...
+
+

+>
+> after having installed the buildrequires for each of them...
+>
+> If you need handbrake or cinerella you will have to write yourself the
+> spec files
+>
+> The answer seems to be do it yourself !!!! (that's a repo for nearly 10
+> programs built with faac)

+> Waiting for a solution from Mageia, I kept my Mandriva 2010.2 on the

+> I know now that it seems to be a definite no go !!!
+> after having been told several times to wait for a new discussion about
+> non-free+tainted repo, I hear now that we have to wait until programs
