How do I compile xine?

Simple build instructions for beginners

Download the latest xine-lib and gxine/xine-ui tarballs,

http://xinehq.de/index.php/releases
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/xine/xine-lib-1.1.0.tar.gz
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/xine/xine-ui-0.99.4.tar.gz

then follow these instruction. To unpack a tarball, use:

   tar xfvz tarballname.tar.gz

The following instructions will install xine in /usr/local where it will be visible for all users. You need root privileges to do this on most systems.


tar -zxvf xine-lib-1.1.0.tar.gz
cd xine-lib-1.1.0
su  (become root)
After unpacking xine-lib, issue:
   ./configure
   make install

Make sure your /etc/ld.so.conf contains /usr/local/lib and continue with:

   ldconfig

Now unpack your frontend (gxine or xine-ui or ...), then:
tar -zxvf xine-ui-0.99.4.tar.gz
cd xine-ui-0.99.4
   ./configure
   make install

cd ..
(clean unused files)
rm -rf xine-lib-1.1.0
rm -rf xine-ui-0.99.4
exit (root)

open a new X window, and type:
xine (or followed by a movie file name)

You're ready to go!
