** Retrieving **

The latest version of Xfmedia can always be obtained from
http://spuriousinterrupt.org/projects/xfmedia/.  Please check to see if there
is a newer version available before reporting bugs.

** Requirements **

Xfmedia is based on libxine, a media player framework library.  Xfmedia was
originally developed against a release candidate of libxine 1.0.0.  Earlier
versions of libxine may work, but are unsupported.  Libxine should be
available via your distro's packaging system; be sure to install the related
-dev or -devel package if required on your distro.  Otherwise, libxine can be
obtained via http://xine.sourceforge.net/.

Xfmedia uses Xfce 4's core utility and GUI libraries, libxfce4util and
libxfcegui4.  It requires version 4.1.90 (Xfce 4.2-beta1) or newer.  Xfce's
core libraries can be obtained from http://xfce.org/.

** Building **

Just the usual:

./configure
make
make install

If 'configure' fails, read its output and correct any errors on your system
before proceeding.

** Usage **

The GUI frontend can be started by running 'xfmedia', and when it's finished,
'xfplay --help' will provide usage details.
