Requirements ============ In any case you need - gcc, the gnu compiler collection (shipped with distro): gcc-3.3 or newer is required. - gnu make (shipped with disto, might be called gmake) - bash (most likely already installed) - A decent version of grep. Solaris' /bin/grep is not good enough, /usr/xpg4/bin/grep is fine though. - openssl (needed by server, client): usually shipped with distro, but you might have to install the "development package" (called libssl-dev on debian systems) as well: http://www.openssl.org/ - help2man (for man page creation) ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/help2man - software mixing, e.g. ALSA and the direct mixing plugin (dmix) Optional features: - *mp3*: The mp3 decoder of para_filter is based on libmad: http://www.underbit.com/products/mad/. If you prefer to use the libmad package provided by your distributor, make sure to install the corresponding development package as well. For version 2 id3 tag support, you'll need libid3tag which is also available through the above link. Without libid3tag, only version 1 tags are recognized. Note that libmad is not necessary for the server side, i.e. for sending mp3 files. - *ogg vorbis*: For ogg vorbis streams you'll need libogg, libvorbis, libvorbisfile: http://www.xiph.org/downloads/. The corresponding Debian packages are called libogg-dev libvorbis-dev, other distributors chose similar names. - *aac*: For aac files (m4a) you'll need libfaad. Get it at http://www.audiocoding.com/modules/wiki/?page=AAC - *ortp*: If you intend to use the optional ortp streamer, you'll need libortp which is contained in the linphone source code: http://www.linphone.org/index.php/eng - On Linux, you'll need to have ALSA's development package installed. The Debian package is called libasound2-dev.
