about dview (old version of xdvshow)


"dview" is a X11 application that displays DV/RTP streams. To make dview on a FreeBSD system, please enable "-DFREEBSD" in Makefile. This is because threads seems not working well in FreeBSD. -DFREEBSD will use fork(). When -DFREEBSD is not used, pthread will be used. When using linux or solaris, comment out "-DFREEBSD". I think that will work better.

When you want to use IPv6 with dview, please enable "-DINET6" in Makefile.

Bug reports, bug fixes, and requests are always welcome!
