= Compiling veejay-current =

== How much time does it take ? ==

I just wrote this howto and installed veejay on a newly
installed Ubuntu 6.10 system in about half an hour. 

Your milage may vary, depending on bandwidth and
experience with building software from source.

Compiling veejay-ng on Ubuntu is left as an exercise
for the reader.

== Which packages do I need ? ==

You will need about 200 megabytes of available diskspace,
this includes the packages below and the space
needed for building veejay.

  * subversion
  * cvs
  * build-essentials
  * autogen
  * autotools-dev
  * autoconf
  * automake1.8
  * libtool
  * libsdl1.2-dev
  * libjack0.100.0-dev
  * libquicktime-dev
  * libxml2-dev
  * libglade2-dev
  * libgtk2.0-dev


== Which packages do I need to compile myself ? ==

  * [http://mjpeg.sourceforge.net mjpegtools] 
[[br]]
   If there is a compile error in Region2D.hh, complaining about 'assert'
   insert a line in top of the file '#include <assert.h>' 
  * [http://unicap.sourceforge.net libunicap] 
  * [http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net FFmpeg] 
  * GTK Cairo  
   {{{
      cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.cairographics.org:/cvs/cairo co gtkcairo
      cd gtkcairo
      sh autogen.sh
      ./configure && make && sudo make install
   }}}

== WARNING ==

I use ffmpeg from source, I suggest you do the same.
There are unmet dependencies in libavcodec-dev and libavformat-dev
that relate to ogg,vorbis,theora, *1394* packages in Ubuntu 6.06.

{{{
 $ sudo apt-get remove libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev
 $ svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
 $ cd ffmpeg
 $ ./configure --help
}}}

Disable what you dont need, then:
{{{

 $ ./configure --enable-shared --enable-swscaler --enable-gpl

 $ make && make install
}}}

And continue building veejay

== Building veejay ==

Check if the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable has been set properly.

{{{
 $ echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
}}}

If you just ran 'configure' and 'make' for mjpegtools,libunicap etc,
check if the accompanying .pc files are in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

{{{
 $ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
}}}


To get the latest veejay:
{{{
  $ svn co svn://dyne.org/veejay/trunk/veejay-current
}}}

To build a veejay optimized for speed:

{{{
 $ sh autogen.sh
 $ ./configure 
 $ make && sudo make install
}}}
 
To build a veejay to send usefull bugreports:

{{{
 $ sh autogen.sh
 $ ./configure --enable-debug
 $ make && sudo make install
}}}
