Complied Xine lib but no executable
Hi Guys
I have compiled the XINE library but there is no executable and therefore I cannot execute the program - I did not have any problems with the compiling stage - and also have run ldconfig I am running Mandrake 8.1 Any ideas? Regards Shelton. |
Xine-lib is just a shared library. Have you tried compiling a front end graphical user interface? http://xinehq.de/index.php/releases Yuo can use xine-ui, totem , kaffine...there's loads

Thanks for you quick response - I am pretty sure xine lib should produce an executable
Compiling an UI says that it cannot find xine executable checking for XINE-LIB version >= 1.0.0... ./configure: /usr/share/lib:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin: No such file or directory ./configure: /usr/share/lib:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin: No such file or directory ./configure: /usr/share/lib:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin: No such file or directory ./configure: /usr/share/lib:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin: No such file or directory ./configure: /usr/share/lib:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin: No such file or directory ./configure: /usr/share/lib:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin: No such file or directory ./configure: /usr/share/lib:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin: No such file or directory ./configure: /usr/share/lib:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin: No such file or directory ./configure: /usr/share/lib:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin: No such file or directory ./configure: /usr/share/lib:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin: No such file or directory no *** Could not run XINE test program, checking why... *** The test program compiled, but did not run.

No xine-lib does not produce an executable as mentioned, it's just a library. To be able to play video or audio, you need to download a frontend from the website mentioned above. I prefer xine-ui or totem when I am working in GNOME and for KDE there are various frontends available from Kde-apps.org .

You need to add this line to /etc/ld.so.conf:
Code:
/usr/local/lib Yves. |
yes u should edit /etc/ld.so.conf: as above.kaffeine is preffered in kde
|
Yes I have done lconfig but I still get the error message as discribed above when trying to configure XINE UI
