[vorbis-dev] building libao under Debian

[Jeremy C. Reed]

Here are some of my notes with building and using vorbis-tools-1.0beta4
under Debian Linux 2.2.

1) building libao:

make[3]: Leaving directory
`/home/jeremy/src/ogg/libao-0.6.0/src/plugins/alsa'
Making all in arts
make[3]: Entering directory
`/home/jeremy/src/ogg/libao-0.6.0/src/plugins/arts'
/bin/sh ../../../libtool --mode=compile gcc

ao_arts.c

-DSIZEOF_INT=4 -DSIZEOF_LONG=4 -DHAVE_SYS_SOUNDCARD_H=1
-I. -I. -I../../.. -I../../../include -I/usr/include/kde/artsc -c
ao_arts.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o ao_arts.lo
ao_arts.c:29: artsc.h: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [ao_arts.lo] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/jeremy/src/ogg/libao-0.6.0/src/plugins/

Worked around this problem by commenting out "arts" in
 libao-0.6.0/src/plugins/Makefile
SUBDIRS = oss esd alsa #arts # solaris irix

./configure said:
checking for artsc-config... /usr/bin/artsc-config

2)

libvorbis and vorbis-tools's ./configure said:
 checking for Ogg... no
 *** Could not run Ogg test program, checking why..

Worked around that problem with:
 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ./configure

I didn't look to closely, but I think it should use the default
(/usr/local/lib) with `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib' flag, so
LD_LIBRARY_PATH doesn't have to be set. (But I may be wrong.)

3)

After installing vorbis-tools, oss wouldn't work. So I changed /dev/dsp to
/dev/audio in the libao source libao-0.6.0/src/plugins/oss/ao_oss.c and it
worked.
