Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &flac-md5sum; Download size: &flac-size; Estimated disk space required: &flac-buildsize; Estimated build time: &flac-time; FLAC Dependencies Optional , , , , and Valgrind User Notes: Installation of FLAC Install FLAC by running the following commands: sed -i 's/^FLaC__INLINE/static\n&/' src/libFLAC/md5.c && ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-thorough-tests && make If you have Valgrind version 3.0.0 or higher installed and you plan on running the test suites after passing the parameter to configure, you need to issue the following command to change some test scripts: sed -i -e "s/logfile-fd/log-fd/" `grep -lr logfile-fd test/*sh` To test the results, issue: make check. Note that if you passed the and parameters to configure and then run the test suite, it will take a very long time (up to 300 SBUs) and use about 375 MB of disk space. Now, as the root user: make install Command Explanations sed -i 's/.../' src/libFLAC/md5.c: This command is used so that the byteswap symbol is not global. --disable-thorough-tests: This parameter is used so that the test suite will complete in a reasonable amount of time. Remove it if you desire more extensive tests. : This option is off by default and should be set on if your machine has SSE capability. One way to find out if you have SSE is to issue cat /proc/cpuinfo and see if sse is listed in the flags.
