Install libtheora by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr && make
If you wish to run the tests, issue: make check.
Now, as the root user:
make install
If you built the examples and wish to install them (so that you can
hack on theora):
cd examples/.libs &&
for E in *; do
install -v -m755 $E /usr/bin/theora_${E}; done
--disable-static: This switch prevents
building static libraries.
