Example: + +export GLOBAL_CFLAGS="-I/usr/include -L/home/guenter/xine_libs" + + +Are there binaries for my K7 available? Can I build them? +--------------------------------------------------------- + +At the moment we do not provide K7 binaries, since the latest +stable gcc version (2.92.2 at the time of this writing) doesn't +have K7 support. Use the 686 binaries instead. These binaries +should run ok and will use 3DNow! + +If you have a newer gcc you can try to compile "more" k7 support +in (esp. better instruction sheduling). If the configure script +should fail to detect your processor/gcc correctly, try setting the +XINE_BUILD envvar explicitly to a valid description string for +your configuration, e.g. + +export XINE_BUILD=k7-pc-linux-gnu +rm -f config.cache +./autogen.sh +make +make install + + +where and how do I get the latest development version? +------------------------------------------------------ + +check it out of our CVS: + +cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.xine.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/xine login + +<empty password> + +cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.xine.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/xine co xine-lib + + +I think I found a bug! +---------------------- + +xine is in it's early developement stages.
