*** INSTALLATION **** Requirements: Tcl/Tk 8.3 or 8.4 libzvbi 0.2.3 (http://zapping.sf.net/) Alsa 0.9.0 drivers and library (optional) (http://www.alsa-project.org/) FFmpeg 0.4.6 (optional, http://ffmpeg.sf.net/) autoconf 2.57 or later (if compiling from CVS) (http://www.gnu.org/) automake 1.6.3 (if compiling from CVS) (http://www.gnu.org) To compile: ./configure --with-ffmpeg=/path/to/compiled/ffmpeg/tree make Note: I mean *** compiled *** ffmpeg tree, i.e. the where you compiled ffmpeg, not where you installed. it. AVview does not rely on installed ffmpeg binaries. If you are using code from CVS you need to run these commands first: autoconf autoheader automake To install: make install You can now run avview with the command: start_avview If you would like to run avview without installing it use command: ./start_avview.no_install Notes: * if README or INSTALL files have been updated during your last CVS checkout make will ask you to review them * make install will copy a KDE desktop file start_avview.desktop to avview shared files directory (usually /usr/local/share/AVview). You can link (or copy) this file to your Desktop (or any other place) to be able to start AVview with a click of a mouse. This file has hardcoded paths (computed during compile) so there is no need to copy icons or edit anything.
