PSP Video Converter (PSPVC) on Ubuntu 8.04

I'm new to Linux and sure appreciate step by step instructions when I get stuck. Since I haven't been able to find any while trying to install pspvc, I figured I'd roll my own. I managed to successfully install it by piecing together bits from a bunch of posts. Let's see if we can put it all together in one place.

This worked for me in Ubuntu Edgy. Hopefully, it'll work for you.

1. Download pspvc from here: http://pspvc.sourceforge.net/, saving it to your desktop.

2. Double click the pspvc tar.gz file on your desktop.

3. Press "Extract", ensure "Desktop" is listed as the location to extract the files, and then press the "Extract" button (again).

4. You should now have a pspvc-install-0.3 folder on your desktop.

5. Open Terminal or Konsole (whichever you have installed).

6. Install dependencies using this command:
Code:

$ sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev libfaac-dev libxvidcore4-dev nasm build-essential

7. Several development libraries that pspvc requires will install. You'll see a bunch of output and it'll take a few seconds to complete.

8. Next, enter the following command, replacing user with your user name. This will change the prompt to the pspvc installation directory.
Code:

$ cd /home/user/Desktop/pspvc-install-0.3

9. To begin the pspvc install, enter this command:
Code:

sudo ./install.sh

10. When the install completes, you should see a message that says "PSPVC installation completed". You're done!

11. Enter pspvc at the prompt to start the application.
