Installing Xvidcap

[Glasskannon]

Hey guys. I am in need of some help and maybe someone could send my in the correct direction.

So i am trying to install xvidcap on BT3 and for some reason i cant figure it out. I have read the install documentation and the readme documentation and it really didnt help me much. I downloaded the package and untarred it.

After i finished that i do a ./configure it looks like everything goes through normally but when i do "make" this is a chuck of what i get.

object_get_type'

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/Desktop Recording/xvidcap-1.1.6'
make: *** [all] Error 2

that is the bottom of the dialog but the errors are all throughout the entire make process.

and then of course "make install" fails.

Could this be because i am tarring this to different directory?

I am sort of lost and dont really know what to do.

You can try the package from the repo HERE

Once you have the file just do a

bt~#installpkg (filename)

Should work.

THANK YOU PUREHATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the newest rc did not have a tgz package so i downloaded the latest final release and used installpkg like you said and it installed it and even put the icon in the mulitmedia window!!!!

You have just brought an end to days worth of pain!

thanks again.
