    <title>Command Explanations</title>

    <para><option>--enable-static</option>: This switch is used to enable
    building the static library as some programs link against it.</para>

    <para><option>--with-external-ffmpeg</option>: This switch enables use of
    an external <application>FFmpeg</application> library.  The internaly built
    library produces poor resuts with some video files.</para>

    <!-- See BLFS ticket 2476 for more info on the ffmpeg option.  -->

    <para><option>--docdir=/usr/share/xine-lib-&xine-lib-version;</option>:
    This switch causes the documentation to be installed into a versioned
    instead of the default 
    <filename class="directory">/usr/share/doc/xine-lib</filename>.</para>
