This package tarball expands to xvidcore, not the expected xvidcore-1.3.7.
Install XviD by running the following commands:
cd build/generic && sed -i 's/^[email protected]_S@/& -f -v/' platform.inc.in && ./configure --prefix=/usr && make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
sed -i '/libdir.*STATIC_LIB/ s/^/#/' Makefile &&
make install &&
chmod -v 755 /usr/lib/libxvidcore.so.4.3 &&
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/xvidcore-1.3.7/examples &&
install -v -m644 ../../doc/* /usr/share/doc/xvidcore-1.3.7 &&
install -v -m644 ../../examples/* \
/usr/share/doc/xvidcore-1.3.7/examples
sed -i 's/^[email protected]_S@/& -f -v/' platform.inc.in: Fix error during make install if reinstalling or upgrading.
sed -i '/libdir.*STATIC_LIB/ s/^/#/' Makefile: This command disables installing the static library.
