1 INSTALL file for vlc, the VideoLAN Client
7 A typical way to configure vlc is:
9 ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome --with-sdl
11 See `./configure --help' for more information.
13 Here is a shortcut to copy-paste for a complete build:
15 make distclean && ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome \
16 --enable-fb --with-glide --with-ggi --with-sdl --enable-esd \
17 --enable-mga --enable-gtk --enable-qt --enable-xvideo
19 If you intend to debug stuff, you may want to disable optimizations:
21 make distclean && ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome \
22 --enable-fb --with-glide --with-ggi --with-sdl --enable-esd \
23 --enable-mga --enable-gtk --enable-qt --enable-xvideo \
30 Have a look at the generated Makefile.opts file, you may want to choose
31 which modules will be compiled as plugins, and which ones will remain in
32 the core application. The configure script tries to guess for you.
34 Once configured, run `make' to build vlc.
