How-To install on System X
Try to use the RPMs when possible.Use these RedHat RPMs for most systems. The RPMs have been reported to work on Red Hat 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, and 8.0; Mandrake 7.1, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, and 9.0; and SuSE 7.2, 7.3, 8.0, and 8.1. There are also RPMs specificaly for Yellow Dog 2.x [This is an older version!].
When installing from SRPMs you also need a bunch of -devel packages.
Using the Debian debs. You might also want the libdvdcss deb.
There are slackware packages too.

Requirements for compilation
You will need reasonably new versions of the normal developer tools installed (gcc, binutils) to compile Ogle.The gui uses gtk and libglade so you need the developer versions of those packages.
For Ogle it self the packages listed below are needed.
Source Packages
(Old packages here...)| Name | Source |
|
libdvdcss |
(This is only needed if you want to play encrypted DVDs.) You should have version 1.2.2 or later. http://www.videolan.org/libdvdcss/download.html |
| libjpeg |
Screen shots are saved as JPEGs. ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz |
| libxml2 |
Config files are XML formated. ftp://xmlsoft.org/ |
| libmad |
MPEG audio decoding is done with MAD. ftp://ftp.mars.org/pub/mpeg/mad-0.14.2b.tar.gz |
| libdvdread | libdvdread-0.9.7.tar.gz Ogle 0.7.4 and later needs libdvdread-0.9.x, old versions |
| liba52 | This provides the liba52 library used for audio decoding. ogle-0.8.3 needs a52dec-0.7.3 or later http://liba52.sourceforge.net/files/a52dec-0.7.4.tar.gz |
| Ogle | This is the core dvd player and libraries. ogle-0.9.2.tar.gz Works on Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD. old versions |
| Ogle_gui | This is an add-on graphical user interface for Ogle. ogle_gui-0.9.2.tar.gz old versions |
| Other GUIs |
Alternative front-ends that, belive it or not, have more
features than the standard GUI. Goggles - a FOX GUI front-end for Ogle and oKle - KDE3 front-end for Ogle |
| xvattr | This is a small command line program to change Xv attributes
like brightness, contrast,... xvattr-1.3.tar.gz Obviously you need to have Xv for this to work If you run OpenBSD-current (post-3.0?) you can use xvctl instead. |
Quick How-To
If you are on a RPM based system such as RedHat, SuSE or Mandrake... use the RPMS, it's much easier.
If you want (highly recomended), compile and install libdvdcss
Do compile and install liba52, MAD, libxml2, libdvdread.
tar xfzv ogle-0.9.2.tar.gz tar xfzv ogle_gui-0.9.2.tar.gz cd ogle-0.9.2 && ./configure && make installYou can now test playback capability use 'ogle -u cli /dev/dvd. See README or man page for more information.
cd ogle_gui-0.9.2 && ./configure && make install oglein the gui: file->disc open
