Installation of Libmpeg3

Install libmpeg3 by running the following commands: 

patch -Np1 -i ../libmpeg3-1.5.4-gcc34-1.patch &&
make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install &&
cp -v i686/libmpeg3.a /usr/lib &&
cp -v {libmpeg3,mpeg3private,mpeg3protos}.h /usr/include

Command Explanations

cp -v i686/libmpeg3.a /usr/lib && cp -v {libmpeg3,mpeg3private,mpeg3protos}.h /usr/include: Since make install doesn't copy the library and header files to proper locations, it is done manually.
