Installation
------------
-After "normal" Plugin installation you have to care about the paths for the
-XML skins and epg images. The following paths can be set at startup:
+First you have to install libSkindesignerAPI:
+
+cd <PLUGINSOURCEDIR>/libskindesignerapi
+make clean
+make install
+
+After installation check if libskindesignerapi.pc is correctly found in your
+PKG_CONFIG_PATH. If not, you should do something like this in your .bashrc:
+
+export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib64/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
+
+Note that skindesigner itself and all plugins which use libSkindesignerAPI have to
+be build against the same major verison of this lib to be compatible.
+
+After installing the lib the Skindesigner Plugin has to be installed as any other
+VDR Plugin has to be installed for your Distribution.
+
+After installation you have to care about the paths for the XML skins and epg images.
+The following paths can be set at startup:
-s <SKINPATH>, --skinpath=<SKINPATH>
