INSTALL file for vlc, the VideoLAN Client
Building VideoLAN
=================
A typical way to configure vlc is:
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome --with-sdl
See `./configure --help' for more information.
Then, run `make' to build vlc.
Here is a shortcut to copy-paste for a complete build:
make distclean 2>/dev/null ; ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome \
--enable-fb --with-glide --with-ggi --with-sdl --enable-esd \
--enable-alsa --enable-mga --enable-gtk --enable-qt && make
If you intend to debug stuff, you may want to disable optimizations:
make distclean 2>/dev/null ; ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome \
--enable-fb --with-glide --with-ggi --with-sdl --enable-esd \
--enable-alsa --enable-mga --enable-gtk --enable-qt \
--disable-optimizatons && make
Installing and running VideoLAN
===============================
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
