Installing XINE from source

Notes

To be honest I have yet to get a cvs version to work I think it is probably best to use the latest stable release

Download xine-lib and xine-ui from cvs

cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/xine login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/xine co [ xine-lib | xine-ui ]

Compile and install xine-lib first

cd xine-lib
./cvscompile.sh --prefix=/usr/local/xine/ \
--with-linux-path=/usr/src/linux \
--with-w32-path=/usr/lib/win32
make
make install

Compile and install xine-ui

cd xine-ui
./cvscompile.sh --prefix=/usr/local/xine \
--with-xine-prefix=/usr/local/xine
make
make install

# if you don't put the above line in the configure script finds the old xine-config script from previous verisons if it is in your path i.e. /usr/local/bin/xine-config and not the one you want which is /usr/local/xine/bin/xine-config

Compile and install the encrypted dvd decoder plugin

sh d5d-<version>.txt
tar -zxvf xine-d5d-0.2.1.tar.gz
cd /usr/local/src/xine-d5d-0.2.1
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/xine \
--with-xine-prefix=/usr/local/xine \
--with-xine-exec-prefix=/usr/local/xine/bin
make
make install
