REQUIREMENTS

   1 Requirements
   2 ============
   3
   4 In any case you need
   5
   6         - libosl: If you are compiling from git the osl sources should
   7           have been cloned automatically. It is also available for
   8           download from http://git.tuebingen.mpg.de/osl. Or run the
   9           command "git clone git://git.tuebingen.mpg.de/osl"
  10         - gcc, the gnu compiler collection (shipped with distro): gcc-3.3
  11           or newer is required.
  12         - gnu make (shipped with disto, might be called gmake)
  13         - bash (most likely already installed)
  14         - A decent version of grep. Solaris' /bin/grep is not good enough,
  15           /usr/xpg4/bin/grep is fine though.
  16         - openssl (needed by server, client): usually shipped with
  17           distro, but you might have to install the "development package"
  18           (called libssl-dev on debian systems) as well:
  19           http://www.openssl.org/
  20         - help2man (for man page creation) ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/help2man
  21         - software mixing, e.g. ALSA and the direct mixing plugin (dmix)
  22
  23 Optional features:
  24
  25         - *mp3*: The mp3 decoder of para_filter is based on libmad:
  26           http://www.underbit.com/products/mad/. If you prefer to
  27           use the libmad package provided by your distributor, make
  28           sure to install the corresponding development package as
  29           well. It is called libmad0-dev on debian-based systems.
  30           Note that libmad is not necessary for the server side,
  31           i.e. for sending mp3 files.
  32
  33         - *id3 tags*:
  34           For version-2 id3 tag support, you'll need libid3tag which
  35           is also available through the above link (alternatively:
  36           install package libid3tag0-dev). Without libid3tag, only
  37           version one tags are recognized.
  38
  39         - *ogg vorbis*: For ogg vorbis streams you'll need libogg,
  40           libvorbis, libvorbisfile: http://www.xiph.org/downloads/.
  41           The corresponding Debian packages are called libogg-dev
  42           libvorbis-dev, other distributors chose similar names.
  43
  44         - *aac*:
  45           For aac files (m4a) you'll need libfaad. Get it at
  46           http://www.audiocoding.com/.
  47           Debian package: libfaad-dev.
  48
  49         - On Linux, you'll need to have ALSA's development package
  50           installed. The Debian package is called libasound2-dev.
