To build FLAC with support for Ogg FLAC you must have built and installed
80
libogg according to the specific instructions below. You must have
81
libogg 1.1.2 or greater, or there will be seeking problems with Ogg FLAC.
83
If you are building on x86 and want the assembly optimizations, you will
84
need to have NASM installed according to the specific instructions below.

The 'make check' step is optional; omit it to skip all the tests,
84
98
which can take several hours and use around 70-80 megs of disk space.
99
Even though it will stop with an explicit message on any failure, it
100
does print out a lot of stuff so you might want to capture the output
101
to a file if you're having a problem. Also, don't run 'make check'
102
as root because it confuses some of the tests.

104
NOTE: Despite our best efforts it's entirely possible to have
87
105
problems when using older versions of autoconf, automake, or
157
174
Prerequisite: you must have the Ogg libraries installed as described
160
Prerequisite: you must have nasm installed, and have the environment
161
variable FLAC_NASM set to the full path to nasmw.exe, e.g
177
Prerequisite: you must have nasm installed, and nasmw.exe must be in
178
your PATH, or the path to nasmw.exe must be added to the list of
179
directories for executable files in the MSVC global options.
165
181
To build everything, run Developer Studio, do File|Open Workspace,
166
182
and open FLAC.dsw. Select "Build | Set active configuration..."
173
189
Everything will end up in the "obj" directory. DLLs and .exe files
174
190
are all that are needed and can be copied to an installation area and
175
191
added to the PATH. The plugins have to be copied to their appropriate
176
place in the player area. For Winamp2 this is <winamp2-dir>\Plugins
177
and for Winamp3 this is <winamp3-dir>\Wacs.
192
place in the player area. For Winamp2 this is <winamp2-dir>\Plugins.

194
By default the code is configured with Ogg support. Before building FLAC
180
195
you will need to get the Ogg source distribution
201
216
Don't worry about the rest of the stuff that is in build/ or
202
217
the stuff that was already there before building.
219
The Project Builder project requires that you have libiconv and
220
libogg in /sw, ala fink. If you don't, you'll need to install
221
them somewhere and change the path to them in the Library Paths
222
section of several targets.
224
It also assumes the CPU supports Altivec instructions. If it does
225
not, you will also have to add -DFLAC__NO_ASM to the CFLAGS in the
204
228
There currently is no install procedure; you will have to
205
229
manually copy the tools to wherever you need them.
