Bootstrapping VLC
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
If you retrieved VLC from the SVN server and do not have a "configure"
|
|
script, please refer to the HACKING file.
|
|
|
|
Configuring VLC
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
A typical way to configure VLC is:
|
|
|
|
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-wxwindows
|
|
|
|
See `./configure --help' for more information.
|
|
|
|
If you intend to debug stuff, you may want to compile with debugging
|
|
symbols:
|
|
|
|
make distclean ; ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-wxwindows --enable-debug
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building VLC
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Once configured, run `make' to build VLC.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing and running VLC
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
You can install the VLC and its plugins by typing:
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
But you don't need to install it if you don't want to; VLC can be launched
|
|
from the current directory as well:
|
|
|
|
./vlc
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building packages
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
To build a Debian package, you may use:
|
|
|
|
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc
|
|
|
|
|
|
To build RedHat packages, use:
|
|
|
|
rpm -ba vlc.spec
|
|
|
|
To build an ipkg package (iPAQ familiar Linux), use:
|
|
|
|
ipkg-buildpackage
|
|
