INSTALLING:

LINUX Pre-Compiled Binary Package

• Download the self-extracting executable package for your Linux platform.
  This will most likely be mpgedit_0-74beta1_linux_rh7.exe
• su root
• chmod +x mpgedit_0-74beta1_linux_rh7.exe
• ./mpgedit_0-74beta1_linux.exe -x
• cd ./mpgedit_0-74beta1_linux
• ./install.sh

LINUX Source Package

• Download the self-extracting source package.
  mpgedit_0-74beta1_src.exe
• chmod +x mpgedit_0-74beta1_src.exe
• ./mpgedit_0-74beta1_src.exe -x
• cd ./mpgedit_0-74beta1_src/mpgedit
• ./configure
• su root
• ./install.sh

Mac OS X mpgedit Disk Image Package

• Download the Mac OS X 10.3/10.4 Disk Image (.dmg) file
• Double Click on the mpgedit_pkg_0-74beta1.dmg file in the Finder
• Double Click on the MPGEDIT.pkg file in the mpgedit install window
• Follow the installer directions.

Note: mpgedit is a command-line utility. Although mpgedit is installed as an "application" which will start in curses mode in a terminal when the mpgedit application icon is clicked, the most powerful command-line features are not available when used in this manner. You must start mpgedit from a Terminal window (Applications->Utilities->Terminal) to take full advantage of the command line capabilities of mpgedit. mpgedit operates in two modes: command-line and interactive curses mode. See the mpgedit man page documentation for more information about how to use mpgedit.

Mac OS X xmpgedit with GTK+2 Disk Image Package

• Download the Mac OS X 10.3/10.4 with GTK+2 Disk Image (.dmg) file
• Double click on the xmpgedit_gtk_pkg_0-74beta1.dmg file in the Finder
• Double click on the XMPGEDIT.pkg installer package contained within the disk image folder
• Follow the installer directions.

Mac OS X xmpgedit Disk Image

• Download the Mac OS X 10.3/10.4 Disk Image (.dmg) file
• Double Click on the xmpgedit_gtk_0-74beta1.dmg file in the Finder
• Copy the xmpgedit application to the directory to install this application

Note: You can also just run xmpgedit directly from the disk image directory by double clicking on the xmpgedit application icon.

Note: xmpgedit is an application based on GTK+2, which depends on X windows. You must have GTK+2 and X11 installed on your system for this application to work. You probably want to install the xmpgedit with GTK+2 package, unless you already have Fink and GTK+2 installed on your system.

WINDOWS

• Download the Windows installer package for xmpgedit (GUI) or mpgedit (command line).
• Run as local Administrator: setup_xmpgedit_0-74beta1.exe

Linux Self-Extract Archive Options

package.exe [-x][-t][-h]

where:

-x	Uncompress and untar archive
-t	Test integrity of archive and list its contents
-h	Display command line usage

Note: The default operation with no arguments is to just uncompress the tar file, leaving the file package.tar in the current working directory.

install.sh Options

install.sh [-u][-y][-F][-h][path]

where:

-u	Uninstall product
-y	Provide default YES answer to all install questions (safe).
-F	suppress installation functions not needed by Fink.
-h	Display command line usage
[path]	Alternate installation directory; default /usr/local.

Note: This script updates /etc/ld.so.conf when installing in a directory not already being searched by ldconfig. You are prompted whether to proceed modifying /etc/ld.so.conf, unless -y was used, then YES is assumed.
