95 <LI>This core library is split into a decore and encore library that have to
96 be compiled separately. For the decore Library, simply type
97 <PRE>
98 cd divxcore/decore/build/linux
99 make
100 cp libdivxdecore.so /usr/local/lib
101 ln -s /usr/local/lib/libdivxdecore.so /usr/local/lib/libdivxdecore.so.0
102 cp ../../src/decore.h /usr/local/include
103 </PRE>
104 </LI>
105 <LI>Alas, for the encore library there is no Linux Makefile available, and the
106 MMX optimized code only works on Windows. You can still compile it, though,
107 by using this

110 cd ../../../encore/build
