Then:\n\n\n          tar xvf LIVES-2.2.8.tar\n\n          cd lives-2.2.8\n\n\n\nnow type:\n\t./configure\n\ncheck the output of configure very carefully, following any advice it provides, \nand making any adjustments you may wish - such as installing optional libraries.\n\nIf you are happy with the output from configure, then compile the source with:\n\n\tmake\n\n\nagain, check the output for any warnings or errors.\n\n\nAssuming everything went OK, you can now install the application with:\n\n\tmake install\n\n(you probably need to do this as root - on some systems you would become root using \"su\", on other systems you would run\n\n\tsudo make install\n\n)\n\n\nFinally, you should make sure your system can find the new libraries installed by LiVES:\n\n\tsudo ldconfig\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou can then run lives either from a menu, or by typing in a terminal:\n\n\n        lives\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRelocating:\n-----------\nThe default location for everything is inside /usr; so executables go in /usr/bin, themes and scripts in /usr/share/lives/, and libraries and compiled plugins in /usr/lib.\n\n\n  When installing from source, you can change this with:\n        ./configure --prefix=/some/other/dir\n\n\n  You can also install in a non-default directory with:\n\tmake install DESTDIR=/some/other/dir\n\n\n\nHowever, if you do relocate, and this is not a fresh install, you will need to edit your .lives file in your home directory and adjust \u003cprefix_dir\u003e and \u003clib_dir\u003e so that they point to the correct locations for scripts and plugins.\n\nNOTE: if the library directory is anything except /usr/lib, you should adjust the libraries in libweed pkg-config files:\nlibweed/*.pk\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOther configuration options\n---------------------------\n\nFor a complete list of configure options, type:\n\n\t./configure --help\n\n\n\n\nTroubleshooting\n---------------\nMake sure you have themes and icons, and plugins installed as above.\nIf they are moved from their installed location, make sure you edit \u003cprefix_dir\u003e and \u003clib_dir\u003e\nin ~/.lives\n\nIn case of any problems, check your ~/.lives file and make sure everything is \npointing to the right locations.\n\nYou can also try deteleting your ~/.lives file. LiVES will recreate this with default settings \non the next start up.\n\n\nMake sure there is plenty of space available in the temporary directory\n(default is /tmp/livestmp).\nIt is advisable to change the temp directory from Tools | Preferences | Directories\n\n\nRun through Help -\u003e Troubleshoot in the app and see if anything is missing.\n\n\nIf you are having problems encoding, make sure you have everything you need \ninstalled. The plugins are just interfaces, and you need to have the binaries \ninstalled also. Some of the encoder formats have other dependencies, the LiVES website has more details.\n\n\n\n\nProblems opening files\n----------------------\nIf you have problems opening a particular video file, try to preview\nit first in the 'open file' dialogue. If you cannot preview it, it means mplayer is not \ncompiled to open it. You may need to recompile mplayer for your system\nwith extra libraries.\n\nNote that current versions of LiVES no longer require mplayer to open some file types. For example dv format \ncan be opened with libdv and the dv_decoder plugin. Ogg/theora can be opened with libogg and libtheora.\n\n\n\nIf you are having problems opening video, edit /usr/bin/smogrify, and near the top put:\n$DEBUG_OPEN=1;\nyou will then see the mplayer open command on the console, which can\nbe cut and pasted into a terminal window.\n\nFinally, if you are still having problems, join the lives-video\nmailing list and you can ask your question there !\n\n\nImplemented functions - technical\n---------------------------------\nVisit the LiVES website (http://lives.sourceforge.net/index.php?do=features).\n\n\nNotes\n-----\nThe 'load audio' function supports .wav, .mp3 (mpg123 required), mod, xm and\n.ogg (ogg123 required).\n\n\n\n\n\nKNOWN BUGS\n----------\n\n\nSee the file BUGS.\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftbe%2Flives","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ftbe%2Flives","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftbe%2Flives/lists"}
