Bootstrapping VLC
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
If you retrieved VLC from the git server and do not have a "configure"
|
|
script, please refer to the HACKING file.
|
|
|
|
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 GCC to build VLC, though some people reported success
|
|
with the Intel C compiler (version 8) as well. GCC version 3.3 or higher is
|
|
required. On older systems (e.g. FreeBSD 4.x, BeOS), please select a more
|
|
recent version manually by setting the CC and CXX environment variables
|
|
appropriately while running the ./configure shell script.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
|
|
To build RPM packages, copy a spec file from extra/package/rpm and:
|
|
|
|
rpm -ba vlc.spec
|
|
|
|
To build an ipkg package (iPAQ familiar Linux), use:
|
|
|
|
ipkg-buildpackage
|
|
|
