4 XiphQT, the Xiph QuickTime Components, is a collection of QuickTime
5 and Mac OS X 'plug-ins' providing support for the Xiph.Org Foundation's
6 (http://xiph.org/) multimedia compression formats.
12 The XiphQT source code is accompanied by a set of Xcode project files,
13 and can be built easily using Xcode GUI or 'xcodebuild' command line
14 tool. To build from sources source codes of a number of additional
15 libraries need to be placed in the ./external-libs folder (see below).
17 The latest version of XiphQT makes use of the following libraries:
18 ogg, vorbis, flac, speex, theora and theora-exp. Their source code can
19 be found on http://xiph.org/ .
21 To build using Xcode's xcodebuild command-line tool type with the
22 ./build-macosx as the current working directory:
24 > xcodebuild -target XiphQT -configuration Release
26 That should produce statically linked XiphQT.component bundle in the
27 ./build-macosx/build/Release directory.
29 To only build decoder and importer components use type:
31 > xcodebuild -target 'XiphQT (decoders)' -configuration Release
37 The binary component bundle needs to be installed in
38 ~/Library/Components (or /Library/Components for system-wide
