Introduction to Xine User Interface
The xine User Interface package contains a
multimedia player. It plays back CDs, DVDs and VCDs. It also decodes
multimedia files like AVI, MOV, WMV, MPEG and MP3 from local disk drives,
and displays multimedia streamed over the Internet.

Note
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.
Note
Although this version of xine-ui works with most files, it
is unable to open encrypted (content-scrambled) DVDs with
the current version of libdvdcss.

Installation of Xine User Interface
Install xine User Interface by running the
following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make docsdir=/usr/share/doc/xine-ui-0.99.14 install
Note
This package installs icon files into the /usr/share/icons/hicolor hierarchy and
desktop files into the /usr/share/applications hierarchy. You can
improve system performance and memory usage by updating
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/index.theme and
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache. To perform
the update you must have GTK+-3.24.38 installed (for the icon
cache) and desktop-file-utils-0.27 (for the desktop cache)
and issue the following commands as the root user:
gtk-update-icon-cache -qtf /usr/share/icons/hicolor &&
update-desktop-database -q
Command Explanations
docsdir=/usr/share/doc/xine-ui-0.99.14:
This parameter causes the Xine UI documentation
to be installed in the versioned directory
/usr/share/doc/xine-ui-0.99.14,
rather that the default
/usr/share/doc/xine-ui.
