Install XviD by running the following commands:
cd build/generic && ./configure --prefix=/usr && make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install && chmod -v 755 /usr/lib/libxvidcore.so.4.1 && ln -v -sf libxvidcore.so.4.1 /usr/lib/libxvidcore.so.4 && ln -v -sf libxvidcore.so.4 /usr/lib/libxvidcore.so && install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/xvidcore-1.1.0/examples && install -v -m644 ../../doc/* /usr/share/doc/xvidcore-1.1.0 && install -v -m644 ../../examples/* \ /usr/share/doc/xvidcore-1.1.0/examples
ln -v -sf libxvidcore.so.4 /usr/lib/libxvidcore.so: This command makes applications linked against .so names, link to .so.<MAJOR>. This ensures better binary compatibility, as XviD developers take care not changing the <MAJOR> number until there is an incompatible ABI change.
