The Xine Libraries package contains xine libraries. These are useful for interfacing with external plug-ins that allow the flow of information from the source to the audio and video hardware.

Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if LFS or dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the books.

Install Xine Libraries by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--disable-vcd \
--with-external-dvdnav \
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/xine-lib-1.2.13 &&
makeTo create the API documentation, Doxygen must be installed and issue the following command:
doxygen doc/Doxyfile
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install
When installing, the Makefile does some additional linking. If you do not have Xorg in /usr, the LIBRARY_PATH variable needs to be defined for the root user. If using sudo to assume root, use the -E option to pass your current environment variables for the install process.
If you built the API documentation, issue the following commands as
the root user to install it:
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/xine-lib-1.2.13/api &&
install -v -m644 doc/api/* \
/usr/share/doc/xine-lib-1.2.13/api
--disable-vcd: This switch is required to compile
Xine Lib without VCDImager installed.
Remove this option if you have installed VCDImager.
--with-external-dvdnav: This switch is required,
because internal libraries cannot decrypt DVD.
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/xine-lib-1.2.13:
This switch causes the documentation to be installed into a versioned
directory instead of the default /usr/share/doc/xine-lib.
--disable-vaapi: use this switch if libva-2.20.0 is installed and GLU-9.0.3
is not, to prevent a build failure.
