Can someone guide me to compile xine from source? Get (at least the first two of) the following tar files (or newer): xine-lib-0.9.13.tar.gz (http://xine.sf.net/) xine-ui-0.9.13.tar.gz (http://xine.sf.net/) and

Install in this sequence. For each of these carry out exactly the following instructions and you should get xine installed in /usr/local, which is a good place to put it. Make sure you've lots of development/build tools installed: I missed development headers for opengl the first time I tried. # tar zxvf file.tar.gz # cd file # CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686" ./configure ( or # ./configure if you don't have a PII/PIII/P4 chip) if there are errors read carefully and install libraries/headers from SuSE disks # make # su (and password) # make install # ldconfig (not usually needed) # exit That's it. Repeat for the xine-ui, then if you like for the four dvdnav ones. You'll need this for encrypted dvds. Many commercial dvds are encrypted now. If you have an unencrypted dvd (e.g. Dangermouse: project moon) you can test without dvd-nav JDL
