      First fix an issue introduced by GCC-10 and later:

    <para>
      Install <application>Xine Libraries</application> by running the following
      commands:
    </para>

<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr          \

    <para>
      To create the API documentation, <application>Doxygen</application>
      must be installed and issue the following command:
    </para>

<screen remap="doc"><userinput>doxygen doc/Doxyfile</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      This package does not come with a test suite.

    </para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>make install</userinput></screen>

    <note>
      <para>
        When installing, the Makefile does some additional
        linking.  If you do not have Xorg in /usr, the LIBRARY_PATH
        variable needs to be defined for the root user.  If
        using sudo to assume root, use the -E option to pass
        your current environment variables for the install process.
      </para>
    </note>

    <para>
      If you built the API documentation, issue the following commands as
      the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user to install it:
    </para>

<screen role="root"

    <para>
      <parameter>--disable-vcd</parameter>: This switch is required to compile
      <application>Xine Lib</application> without <ulink
      url="&gnu-http;/vcdimager/">VCDImager</ulink> installed.
      Remove this option if you have installed VCDImager.
    </para>

    <para>
      <parameter>--with-external-dvdnav</parameter>: This switch is required,
      because internal libraries cannot decrypt DVD.
    </para>

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

    <para>
      <option>--disable-vaapi</option>: use this switch if <xref
      linkend="libva"/> is installed and <xref linkend="glu"/>
      is not, to prevent a build failure.
