July 15, 2002. Hi - welcome to mpeg4ip. If you're trying to build, you can't just run the ./configure script. Instead, run the ./bootstrap script. The reason for this that mpeg4ip requires that certain other tools are installed before beginning, such as SDL or lame or faac if you are using mp4live. Then come on over to the README, COPYING, NEWS and the rest of the documentation in the doc directory, including: doc/MPEG4IP_Guide.pdf - everwicked's guide to mpeg4ip doc/ietf - IETF standards and proposed standards we are using. doc/mcast - using mpeg4ip to multicast doc/mp4v2 - manual pages for mp4v2 library doc/*.htm* - html documentation of READMEs, etc If you have questions, please try the SourceForge forums - please do not email us directly.
