Prerequisites

-------------

libvorbis

libogg

Both of these libraries must be installed before you can build

libshout. If they aren't available in your OS's package system, you

can find them at vorbis.com. You may also want libtheora if you're

interested in doing video streaming.

Building

--------

Normally, just ./configure; make

You may need to specify --with-ogg-prefix and/or --with-vorbis-prefix

if you have installed those libraries in a non-standard

location. The arguments to these will match the --prefix you used when

configuring ogg and vorbis, respectively.

You may also choose to build libshout without thread safety, with the

--disable-pthread argument to configure. Only do this if you know you

will never be using the library in a threaded application, or if you

intend to make all calls to libshout threadsafe by hand in your

calling application.

Installation

------------

(as root) make install

This will install header files in $(prefix)/shout and library files in

$(prefix)/lib.

configure will have detected whether or not you have pkg-config

automatically. If you have, it will place a pkg-config data file in

$(prefix)/lib/pkgconfig, otherwise it will place a shout-config script

in $(prefix)/bin. You can force libshout to use shout-config instead

of pkgconfig with the configure option --disable-pkgconfig.
