Installation

• Compiling from Source
  • Using a tarball
  • Using the git repository

Compiling from Source

Compiling from source is currently the only way to install ViCuTo. You can download the most recent tarball or try the last experimental code from the git repository. To compile and link you will need GStreamer >= 1.2 including gstreamer-base and gstreamer-pbutils and giomm and glibmm >= 2.4. If you want to use other formats than raw video and audio you will need the respective gstreamer packages, too, but you don't need them at compile time.

Using a tarball

Download the latest tarball and extract it (replace x.y with the version number):

:::bash
tar -xzf vicuto-0.x.y.tar.gz

Change into the directory and run the configure script. You can use the --prefix option to choose a different installation location than the default:

:::bash
cd vicuto-0.x.y.tar.gz
./configure --prefix=/path

After that you compile vicuto using

:::bash
make

and install it using

:::bash
sudo make install

You can, of course, skip the last step and copy the binary src/vicuto-cli to some other place.

Using the git repository

Checkout the last commit on the master branch:

:::bash
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/vicuto/code vicuto-code

Change into the directory and prepare the configuration. You can pass options for the configure script to autogen.sh like --prefix.

:::bash
cd vicuto-code
./autogen.sh --prefix=/path

autogen.sh will require some tools: automake, autoconf, intltool, xml-i18n-toolize, libtool, glib. After that you can run make and make install.
