[Openquicktime-devel] Plug-in System

[Nicholas H. <nj...@ec...>]

Hi,

While I have been playing with OpenQuicktime I have been having 
problems with the OpenQuicktime plugin system. I am running 
Debian/Linux 2.2...


It doesn't seem to be able to locate the plugins unless you set the 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable - or compile in the full path 
into the libopenquicktime library.

ldconfig seems to ignore any libraries that don't start 'lib'.


njh@mozart:~/OpenQuicktime/openquicktime-1.0-src$ /sbin/ldconfig -v
/sbin/ldconfig: version 1.9.11
/usr/local/lib:
         libSDL-1.2.so.0 => libSDL-1.2.so.0.0.3
         libopenquicktime.so => libopenquicktime.so
/usr/lib:
         libgsm.so.1 => libgsm.so.1.0.10
         libjpeg.so.62 => libjpeg.so.62.0.0
         libgthread-1.2.so.0 => libgthread-1.2.so.0.0.7
....



Is there a nicer way of doing this ? Such as compiling in the install 
path of the quicktime codecs ? (/usr/lib/quicktime_codecs/) ?


Or how about adding the install path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH at run time ?
