INSTALL : 
Please note, as of this writing this application is alpha, meaning it is working but only for a limited set of conditions. 

Please refer to the README - file for more information on the current state of this software.
As for the Version 1.0 in the far future, qdvdauthor should be able to fullfill 95% of all standard DVD authoring tasks with a intuitive user interface.

After having it with cryptic command lines I decided to write a small configurator Qt app, where you can adjust all settings for qdvdauthor's compilation.
> ./configure 
will build configurator and start it.
NOTE: please set the DISPLAY variable correctly and ensure you can display (xhost +localhost)

Also you can see a list of available options wuth :
> configure --help

In order to generate the DVD-menu you need to have the mlpegtools > 1.6.2 
Note: the prior version had a bug in jpeg2yuv.
jpeg2yuv	// Part of mjpeg.sf.net
jpegtopnm	// Part of mjpeg.sf.net
ppmtoy4m	// Part of mjpeg.sf.net
mpeg2enc	// Part of mjpeg.sf.net
mplex		// Part of mjpeg.sf.net

you also need the dvdauthor package > 0.6.10 
Note: this version changed the spumux button, and action tag 'label' to 'name' thus older versions will no longer work properly.
spumux		// Part of dvdauthor.sf.net
dvdauthor	// Part of dvdauthor.sf.net
In order to compile you will also need 
xine-libs	// version >= 1.0.0.Rc5

Optional packages: 
Note: the following packages are excluding each other !!!
Note2: currently only ImageMagick-library version is supported. More when time permits.
ImageMagick	// Graphics tool for manipulation of graphics.
FreeImage	// Part of freeimage.sf.net. This is a free crossform image manipulation library
CxImage		// Graphics library including fft transform (origin Windows)
OpenIL		// Another graphics library.
PaintLib	// Feasible ??? (Windows based)
ImgSource	// Feasible ??? (Windows based)

One last thing there might be some additional packages be added at a later date to convert video/sound formats into the neccesary format.
