3.2 Requirements

3.3 Compilation and installation

In order to compile and install ZZplayer on your system, type the following in the base directory of the ZZplayer distribution:

% ./configure
% make
% make install

The configure script supports some options. Please run :

% ./configure --help
to kown the list of options.

Since ZZplayer uses autoconf you should have not trouble compiling it. Should you run into problems please report them to the ZZplayer team at zzplayer-users@lists.sourceforge.net.

Sometimes you need to set the QTDIR variable (on RedHat system for example). Don't use the --with-qt-dir option in configure. Use $export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-1.4x before launch the configure script.
