*    Kaffeine 0.7.1 README    *
*******************************


Latest Kaffeine version is available on http://kaffeine.sourceforge.net


MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:
---------------------

 *) xine-lib 1.0 (http://www.xinehq.de)
 *) KDE >= 3.2 (http://www.kde.org)

 *) for DVB support: see README.dvb
 *) for the gstreamer player-part: see README.gstreamer

RECOMMENDED:
------------

 *) WIN32 Codecs (http://www.mplayerhq.hu)
 *) libdvdcss (http://developers.videolan.org/libdvdcss)


INSTALLATION:
-------------

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

(If you've checked out from CVS first run ./autogen.sh to build configure!)

 1.) ./configure --prefix=KDEDIR --mandir=MANPAGE_DIR (e.g. for SuSE: --prefix=/opt/kde3 --mandir=/usr/share/man)
     (use ./configure --help for more options)

 2,) make

 3.) make install


On the download page you'll find RPM's for most distributions.

Problems? Post to the kaffeine-user mailing-list: kaffeine-user@lists.sourceforge.net


IMPORTANT CONFIGURE FLAGS:
--------------------------

 --with-xorg : use this ONLY(!) in the case Kaffeine hangs at startup
 --without-dvb : disables DVB support (may accelerate startup)
 --without-gstreamer: disables build of the gstreamer based player-part


TROUBLESHOOTING:
----------------

*) Fedora Users: If make aborts with '/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lselinux' install
   the libselinux-devel package or disable selinux.

*) If Kaffeine hangs on start run 'configure --with-xinit-workaround' and recompile/reinstall.
