- Note that these instructions are *not* necessary for distribution
- tarballs; they have separate configure/build instructions.
-
- Building this package from CVS is mainly intended for developers.
- General users should obtain official distribution packages; both
- source and binary distributions are available at
- http://www.vorbis.com/.

-
- These are *brief* instructions on how to build this package from CVS.
- Yes, there are details left out.
-
- There are generally four steps necessary when building from CVS (i.e.,
- a developer's copy):
-
- 1. cvs checkout of the sources, or cvs update. RTFM from your
- favorite flavor of CVS documentation; information on the xiph.org
- CVS repository can be found at http://www.xiph.org/cvs.html.
-
- 2. [re-]generate files such as "configure" and "Makefile.in" with the
- GNU autoconf/automake tools. Run the "autogen.sh" script to
- perform this step.
-
- *** IF YOU ARE NOT BUILDING WITH GNU MAKE *AND* GCC: you must set
- the AUTOMAKE_FLAGS environment variable to "--include-deps"
- before running autogen.sh. For example:
-
- csh% setenv AUTOMAKE_FLAGS --include-deps
- csh% ./autogen.sh
- or
- sh% AUTOMAKE_FLAGS=--include-deps ./autogen.sh
-
- 3. Run configure. There are several options available; see
- "./configure --help" for more information.
-
- 4. Run "make" to build the source.
-
- In general, steps 2 and 3 need to be re-run every time any of the
- following files are modified (either manually or by a cvs update):
-
- configure.in
- acinclude.m4
-
- Running "make clean" after running steps 2 and 3 is generally also
- advisable before running step 4. It isn't *always* necessary, but
- unless you understand the workings of autoconf/automake, it's safest
- to just do it.
