Now, as the root user: make install && chmod -v 644 /usr/lib/libxvidcore.a && ln -v -sf libxvidcore.so.4.0 /usr/lib/libxvidcore.so.4 && ln -v -sf libxvidcore.so.4 /usr/lib/libxvidcore.so && install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/xvidcore-&xvid-version;/examples && install -v -m644 ../../examples/* \ /usr/share/doc/xvidcore-&xvid-version;/examples Command Explanations ln -v -sf libxvidcore.so.4 /usr/lib/libxvidcore.so: This command makes applications linked against .so names, link to .so.MAJOR. This ensures better binary compatibility, as XviD developers take care not changing the MAJOR number until there is an incompatible ABI change.
