Compiling XAnim

XAnim Decompression Modules

As of release 2.80.0, XAnim can make use of dynamically loadable libraries to add support for new video codecs at run time. This means XAnim does not need to be recompiled each time a new video codec is released or upgraded. Please read the file README.dll for more details on this capability.

However, since I've only been able to produce xanim video dll's for a limited number of platforms, the old decompression modules can still be compiled in. There are no plans to produce old style decompression modules for any new video codec. And in any case, this hasn't been feasible due to symbol collisions amongst the modules(NOTE: while some linkers have developed unique strategies to solve this, a large number have not.)
