Comment(by mike.c.wilding@…):

 I have successfully compiled and linked exempi under Snow Leopard subject
 to the following caveat; Quicktime/mov file support is removed due to
 Carbon QuickTime framework being 32 bit only. As far as I can gather the
 only way to fix this without forcing a 32 bit compile of the library
 (which would be useless for linking other 64 bit ports against) would be
 to re-write the Mac OS specific parts of the library to use the Cocoa x64
 framework equivalents (if possible).

 I've nearly completed a port file which will build exempi under Snow
 Leopard. However, it remains to be seen if/what ports will be able to link
 against it sucessfully with the missing Quicktime/mov support and if the
 resulting applications would actually dynamically link against the library
 and run without errors or side effects.
