INSTALL file for the VLC media player
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
More extensive information for *nix, Windows and Mac OS X users can be
|
|
found here: http://wiki.videolan.org/Compile_VLC
|
|
|
|
People installing VLC for Windows from source MUST read:

|

|
|
|
|
Bootstrapping VLC
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
If you retrieved VLC from the git server and do not have yet a "configure"
|
|
script, please run:
|
|
|
|
./bootstrap
|
|
|
|
Configuring VLC
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
A typical way to configure VLC is:
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
|
|
See `./configure --help' for more information.
|
|
|
|
If you intend to debug stuff, you may want to compile with debugging
|
|
symbols:
|
|
|
|
make distclean ; ./configure --enable-debug
|
|
|
|
We recommend using either GCC or Clang/LLVM to build VLC. Specifically,
|
|
GCC version 5 or higher, or Clang/LLVM version 3.4 or higher are required.
|
|
Other compilers with compatible feature sets should also work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building VLC
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
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 need to get the packaging info
|
|
git clone git://git.debian.org/pkg-multimedia/vlc.git debian
|
|
and then
|
|
git-buildpackage
|
