What platform are you using?  On Linux/Unix building libogg and
libvorbis from source shouldn't be difficult (you'll need to do libogg
first), but most distros will provide -devel packages (e.g.
libogg-devel in Fedora) so you shouldn't need to do it anyway unless
you want to work with libraries from svn.

Windows development I'm not so sure, but the vorbis-tools download at
Xiph <http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/vorbis/vorbis-tools-win32-bin.7z>
contains dlls and you might want also want to look at
http://www.rarewares.org/ogg-libraries.php
I believe there are also visual studio project files included with the
source code and if you have difficulty building them you can always
ask here.

Hope this helps.
