Well, in order to *compile* a program you need a *compiler* of course. GCC is a compiler (a compiler collection, actually). So, yes you may use GCC to compile xine. > where and > how can i get it? please help... Have a look on your Linux CDs. Any good Vendor usually should ship GCC with its distribution. What kind of distribution are you using? Look at your vendor's site whether it provides a download facility. If your system is RPM based, have a look at http://rpmfind.net and search for a GCC package according to your distribution/system. If your system is a based on Debian or you have the apt-get program installed. Just do 'apt-get install gcc-3.3' for example. Have a look in your distro's manual on how to install packages/software and how to update your system. Btw, there may be as well a binary package for xine somewhere on your CDs or apt-get'able. Also, http://gcc.gnu.org/install/binaries.html lists links to pre-compiled versions of GCC.
