$medium_font No new binary packages are being created. There isn't enough of a dominant Linux distribution anymore and the distributions change their libraries too fast to justify binaries anymore. There are still forks who distribute binaries but don't support all our features.
All these packages can run separately but are recommended to get a useful movie making environment. The source has been tested most extensively on the Fedora 5.0, 64 bit distribution and may actually work on yours.
To build most packages run configure first and then make, then make install. If there's no configure in the directory, it can probably be built with make alone.
There is no warranty on compilability of the source code. No warranty, expressed or implied, including fitness for compilation. The current known requirements to compile anything are ALSA-1.0.11, GCC 4.1, NASM version 0.98.39, kernel 2.6.16.18. Different bugs will be experienced depending on compiler version.
To decompress a source code download, use tar jxf <package name>
HOWTO use RPM:
Install RPM's using rpm -i --force --nodeps <package name>
To see what files are installed by an RPM, use rpm -qlp <package name>
To decompress an RPM into the current directory without actually having RPM, use rpm2cpio <package name> | cpio -i --make-directories
