2 Compiling with full features requires development files for several
3 external libraries. Below is a list of some important requirements. For
4 more information see the output of './configure --help' for a list of options,
5 or look at the list of enabled and disabled features printed after running
6 './configure'. If you think you have support for some feature installed
7 but configure fails to detect it, the file config.log may contain information
8 about the reasons for the failure.
10 Libraries specific to particular video output methods
11 (you'll want at least one of VDPAU, GL or Xv):
12 - libvdpau (for VDPAU output, best choice for NVIDIA cards)
13 - libGL (OpenGL output)
14 - libXv (XVideo output)
16 - libasound (ALSA audio output)
17 - various general X development libraries
21 - FFmpeg libraries (libavutil libavcodec libavformat libswscale libpostproc)
23 Most of the above libraries are available in suitable versions on normal
24 Linux distributions. However FFmpeg is an exception (distro versions may be
25 too old to work at all or work well). For that reason you may want to use
26 the separately available build wrapper that first compiles FFmpeg libraries
27 and libass, and then compiles the player statically linked against those.
