video4jmax - installation help

 
 

 

Requirements

i) jmax 2.5 (should work under jmax 2.4.12)
ii) an X11 display server

note: you will need to have a version of jmax running, for help on installing and compiling jmax, please see Christian Klippel's extensive help file at http://www.mamalala.de as well as the jmax docs.

 
 

Installation process (for jMax 2.5)

1. Untar the archive with tar -xvtf video4jmax_current_version.tgz in your 'packages' directory. This will create the video4jmax directory and place all the files within.

2. Run './configure --jmax25' from the video4jmax directory. That should take care of adjusting the Makefiles to your current version and point to the right header for fts.

Files Changed by configure:
video4jmax/Makefile
video4jmax/c/Makefile
video4jmax/c/src/Makefile
video4jmax/c/src/fts_redirect.h


3. From the packages/video4jmax directory, do this:

  • make all ARCH=i686-linux
  • make install ARCH=i686-linux

Where you replace i686-linux by your architecture name (e.g. ppc-macosx).


5. Add "package require video4jmax" within the "when start" section of ~/.jmaxrc and (re)start jmax. (remove the older line if you upgrade).

 

Installation process (for jMax 2.4)

1. Untar the archive with tar -xvtf video4jmax_current_version.tgz in your 'packages' directory. This will create the video4jmax directory and place all the files within.

2. Run './configure --jmax24' from the video4jmax directory. That should take care of adjusting the Makefiles to your current version and point to the right header for fts.

Files Changed by configure:
video4jmax/Makefile
video4jmax/c/Makefile
video4jmax/c/src/Makefile
video4jmax/c/src/fts_redirect.h


3. In file packages/Makefile change the C_PACKAGES list to include video4jmax (remove the old 'video' if you upgrade).


4. From the toplevel directory (above 'packages'), do this:

  • make all ARCH=i686-linux
  • make install ARCH=i686-linux

Where you replace i686-linux by your architecture name (e.g. ppc-macosx).


5. Add "package require video4jmax" within the "when start" section of ~/.jmaxrc and (re)start jmax. (remove the older line if you upgrade).
