1 INSTALL file for vlc, the VideoLAN Client
7 A typical way to configure vlc is:
9 ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome
11 See `./configure --help' for more information.
13 If you intend to debug stuff, you may want to compile with debugging
16 make distclean ; ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome --enable-debug
18 It is also possible to cross-compile for the Win32 platform using mingw32:
20 make distclean ; CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc CFLAGS=-I/usr/i586-mingw32msvc \
21 RANLIB=i586-mingw32msvc-ranlib WINDRES=i586-mingw32msvc-windres \
22 ./configure --host=i386-mingw32msvc --with-directx-path=<path> \
23 --with-sdl-config-path=<path> --with-gtk-config-path=<path>
29 Have a look at the generated Makefile.opts file, you may want to choose
30 which modules will be compiled as plugins, and which ones will remain in
31 the core application. The configure script tries to guess for you.
33 Once configured, run `make' to build vlc.
