[Theora-dev] Building theora

[J. Grant]

Hi Ralph,

Thanks for your reply.  I have working Ogg Theora encoding now with
these packages now:

libogg-1.1, libtheora-1.0alpha3, libvorbis-1.0.1

Cool.  is the http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/download/ dead now?

I had some trouble finding all the right bits to be able to get Ogg
Theora built and working on my GNU/Linux box.  I wonder if a "Developers
page" could be added to the site with links to all the latest stuff?

Atm, there is just the subversion links, and I do not have subversion
(or a plan to install it yet).

I spoke to Silvia Pfeiffer about this problem over email.  She suggested
I created a web page you could add to the site with this infomation.

So a "Developers page" (perhaps combined with the Subversion info?)
could go something like this:

================================================
To build Ogg Theora you need to build and install these libraries.
These are the latest releases:

Ogg container support:
http://www.vorbis.com/files/1.0.1/unix/libogg-1.1.tar.gz

Vorbis audio support:
http://www.vorbis.com/files/1.0.1/unix/libvorbis-1.0.1.tar.gz

Theora video codec support:
http://theora.org/files/libtheora-1.0alpha3.tar.gz
================================================


Also, in case this has already not been noticed.  libvorbis-1.0.1
examples has a link error, "-static" is the cause.  Removing
"-static" is the workaround for me.

Kind regards

JG
