Install Kaffeine player with source code in Linux

Friends into the "Red Flag 5.0" using pre-installed Kaffeine, is not found that this kaffeine can not play some of the media files in Windows. For example: *.wmv, *.asf. Today we are going to learn to install a kaffeine 6186.html "> player that can be put in a multimedia file.

I recommend to go to Kaffeine's official station http://kaffeine.sourceforge.net/download the latest version. The filename i downloaded is kaffeine-0.7.1.tar.bz2.

I recommend that friends use a graphical way to unlock a compressed package. Click the right mouse button on the package icon and click Extract with the left mouse 銉 in the pop-up right-click menu. Then, in the current directory, you get a folder with the contents of the compressed package. The folder name is basically consistent with the compression package. Because we want to compile the source code into a binary file that can be installed. I recommend that you copy the uncompressed two package to a Linux partition. I personally like to put folders under my current user directory.

Then we start the installation process, left-click the "Start"--> "" Application "-->" "Attachment"--> "System Terminal", you can open the terminal. Then use the command cd/root/kaffeine-0.7.1 in the terminal to enter the source package directory. For example, my catalogue is:/root/kaffeine-0.7.1.

There is a Shell script file called configure in each installation package that is published in source code, what does it do? Let's recall the process of installing software in Windows, does the Setup Wizard require users to enter some information? Yes, configure's role is to configure basic information for the installation process. We use./configure, command to execute it. It has many parameters, of course, the specific parameters vary depending on the software. If we want to know exactly what parameters a configure can use./configure--help command.

God, that's a lot! Of course, we do not need to use all these parameters, just need so many! If you perform./configure with no parameters, the default value will be used when installing. The installation of our professors today may be different from other ways that friends can see on the Web, maybe I am a software developer, and I like to put everything a program needs into one directory. OK, we can start. The next command is./configure--prefix=/opt/kaffeine-0.7.1. The--prefix=/opt/kaffeine-0.7.1 parameter is the specified program to install to the/opt/kaffeine-0.7.1 directory.
