| + | ====== Installing xvidcap Under Ubuntu ====== | ||
| + | xvidcap is an open source tool that records a video of your actions on screen. | ||
| + | |||
| + | When I installed the Ubuntu package for xvidcap, it would just seg-fault and close when I tried to record. So, I installed from source. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Before I get into it, however, I should mention that xvidcap never really worked perfectly for me. It was quite buggy in my setup. I tried recordMyDesktop and gtk-recordMyDesktop instead and would recommend you try that unless you have a specific need for xvidcap. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Prerequisites ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Before you can compile xvidcap, you'll need to install three other Ubuntu packages. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * libglade2-dev | ||
| + | * libxmu-dev | ||
| + | * gettext | ||
| + | |||
| + | Here is the command line to install those. | ||
| + | |||
| + | sudo apt-get install libglade2-dev libxmu-dev gettext | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Compiling xvidcap ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Download the latest version of xvidcap from http://sourceforge.net/projects/xvidcap. Then, do the following. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ./configure | ||
| + | make | ||
| + | sudo make install | ||
| + | |||
| + | That's it, you should now be able to run xvidcap from the //Applications//, //Sound and Video// menu. | ||
