## Installation of XviD

### Note

This package tarball expands to `xvidcore`, not the expected `xvidcore-1.3.7`.

Install XviD by running the following commands:

    cd build/generic &&
    sed -i 's/^LN_S=@LN_S@/& -f -v/' platform.inc.in &&

    ./configure --prefix=/usr &&
    make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the `root` user:

    sed -i '/libdir.*STATIC_LIB/ s/^/#/' Makefile &&
    make install &&

    chmod -v 755 /usr/lib/libxvidcore.so.4.3 &&
    install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/xvidcore-1.3.7/examples &&
    install -v -m644 ../../doc/* /usr/share/doc/xvidcore-1.3.7 &&
    install -v -m644 ../../examples/* \
        /usr/share/doc/xvidcore-1.3.7/examples

## Command Explanations

sed -i 's/^LN_S=@LN_S@/& -f -v/' platform.inc.in: Fix error during make install if reinstalling or upgrading.

sed -i '/libdir.*STATIC_LIB/ s/^/#/' Makefile: This command disables installing the static library.
