Optional:

  * [http://jackit.sourceforge.net Jack] 
  * [http://libquicktime.sourceforge.net Libquicktime] 
  * openGL library (gl.h and libGL.so) 


You should check with the package manager of your distribution to see if all
development packages have been installed, among others this includes:

  * glib >= 2.4 dev
  * automake, autoconf, libtool, gcc, make, etc.
  * linux kernel header files
  * the -dev packages of the required dependencies


If you are one of those lucky users with a distribution without any compiler pre-installed
you will need to setup a build system by installing a gcc, automake, autoconf, etc etc. 



== Preperation ==

Veejay requires a recent ffmpeg.

If veejay fails to build/link with the ffmpeg on your system, remove 
it and grab ffmpeg from source.

{{{
 $ svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
 $ cd ffmpeg
 $ ./configure --enable-shared --enable-swscaler --enable-dts --enable-gpl
 $ make
 $ make install
}}}

You need to set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to
the directories that contain the .pc files.

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


1. Get the sources from Veejay's repository:

{{{
  $ svn co svn://dyne.org/veejay/trunk/veejay/current
}}}

2. Enter the source directory and run autogen.sh

{{{
  $ cd veejay-current
  $ sh autogen.sh
}}}

3. Run ./configure
{{{
  $ ./configure
}}}

If you want to disable the graphical interfaces for some reason, use:
{{{
  $ ./configure --without-gveejayreloaded 
}}}


If you want to use openGL for video playback, use:
{{{
  $ ./configure --enable-gl
}}}

== Building ==

Type 'make' to build veejay
{{{
  $ make 
}}}

== Installing ==

{{{
  $ sudo make install
}}}

or

{{{
  $ su
  # make install
}}}


== Running veejay ==

Test if veejay works:

{{{
  $ veejay -d -n
}}}

To run veejay without accelerated display:
{{{
  $ veejay -O5 -d -n
}}}

To run veejay in verbose mode:
{{{
  $ veejay -O5 -d -n -v
}}}

To run veejay with openGL display:
{{{
  $ veejay -O4 -d -n
}}}


Start another terminal and type:
{{{
 $ gveejayreloaded
}}}

or

{{{
 $ gveejayreloaded -n
}}}


== Stopping veejay ==

Open another terminal

{{{
 $ sayVIMS "600:;"
}}}

(or press CTRL-C in the terminal running veejay)
