Handbrake on Debian Etch. Question about libs

[kikinovak]

Hi,

I just successfully installed Handbrake (from source) on Linux Debian Etch. It was just a matter of

Code: Select all

./configure && jam

Compilation was busy for some time, wget fetched library after library (ffmpeg, lame, libdvdcss, libdvdread, etcetera) and built it.

I moved the resulting binary to /usr/local/bin, tested it, worked like a charm.

Now I have a question that's nagging me. Most of these libs were already installed on my system, like lame, libdvdcss and some others. What happened to them? Were they somewhat squashed/replaced by those downloaded and built by handbrake? For example, is the 'lame' executable (/usr/bin/lame) the orginal one that I installed with 'apt-get install lame'? Or is it the one resulting from my handbrake install?

Cheers,

NK

Everything HB downloads during jam resides in the contrib directory in your HB source dir. None of it gets installed at a system-level.

OK. Thanks very much!
