I know this might make me look an idiot, but in the instructions it says:

Installation ( ideal variant ):

mkdir /usr/lib/win32
unzip ./binaries.zip -d /usr/lib/win32
tar zxf ./avifile-x.xx.tar.gz
cd avifile
./configure
make
make install
aviplay <your-file>

Should ./binaries.zip have came with the avifile.tar.gz or do I have to download those from somewhere else? Because I'm not seeing them anywhere. Thanks.

I would think that binaries.zip would be the file for WindowsXX. Linux files usually come in tar.gz or .bz2 (tarballed and compressed) form and Windows programs usually come in .zip or .exe form.
