Configuring VLC
|
|
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A typical way to configure VLC is:
|
2000-06-24 00:28:42 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2001-11-12 12:37:30 +01:00
|
|
|
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome
|
2000-06-24 00:28:42 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See `./configure --help' for more information.
|
|

|
|
|
If you intend to debug stuff, you may want to compile with debugging
|
|
|
|
symbols:

|
|
|
|
2002-03-18 20:14:52 +01:00
|
|
|
make distclean ; ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome --enable-debug

Building VLC
|
|
|
|
============
|
2001-04-16 09:40:11 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Have a look at the generated Makefile.opts file, you may want to choose
|
|
|
|
which modules will be compiled as plugins, and which ones will remain in
|
|
|
|
the core application. The configure script tries to guess for you.
|
|
|
|
|
2003-02-02 05:01:29 +01:00
|
|
|
Once configured, run `make' to build VLC.

Installing and running VLC
|
|
|
|
==========================
|
2000-06-24 00:28:42 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2003-02-02 05:01:29 +01:00
|
|
|
You can install the VLC and its plugins by typing:
|
2000-06-24 00:28:42 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
|
2003-02-02 05:01:29 +01:00
|
|
|
But you don't need to install it if you don't want to; VLC can be launched
|
2001-03-05 02:29:25 +01:00
|
|
|
from the current directory as well:
|
2000-06-24 00:28:42 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./vlc
|
|
|
|
|
2001-03-05 02:29:25 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building packages
|
|
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To build a Debian package, you may use:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To build RedHat packages, use:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
rpm -ba vlc.spec
|
|
|
|
|
2001-11-12 12:37:30 +01:00
|
|
|
To build an ipkg package (iPAQ familiar Linux), use:
|
|
|
|
|
