No, they should be normal inputs - they should be compiled for the target architecture where the binary is supposed to be run. The binaries themselves will link dynamically to the libraries. > I added libvdpau as a native-input to each and they build, but I don't > know how to test if the compilation is using libvdpau and using it > correctly. You could search for it in the build log, in particular during the configure phase. And you could run "ldd" on the resulting binary and check whether the libraries appear. Andreas
