About OpenQuicktime
===================

This library is based on the QT4Linux library  by Adam Williams
(http://heroinewarrior.com/quicktime.php3) with some additions (plug-in
mechanism, compressed header handling, modern audio codecs support, ...),
removal of all built-in codecs (they will be soon included as plugs-in), and
portability improvement.

This library is released under the LGPL license (see COPYING). The original
lame code, mpglib code and QT4Linux code were released under the LPGL license.


Please read the file DEPENDENCIES for the libraries required to build the
various OpenQuicktime components.

Plug-ins are looked for in the package library directory. Default is:
/usr/local/lib/openquicktime If you want to use additional plug-in in other
directories you can set the colon sperated OQT_PLUGIN_DIR environment varible
to the location of the plugins.





The XAnim plug-in loaded looks for plugins in the following directories:

/usr/local/xanim/mods /usr/lib/xanim/mods /usr/X11R6/lib/xanim/mods
/usr/lib/xanim

This should cover most OS distributions but you can set the XANIM_MOD_DIR
environment varible if they are located elsewhere.


For inforamtion on compiling on Darwin (Mac OS X) please see README.Darwin

The build the code in CVS run ./bootstrap before ./configure. You will need
to have autoconf, automake and libtool install on your system.
