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; Additional Downloads Required patch: FLAC Dependencies Optional , , , , and Valgrind Installation of FLAC Install FLAC by running the following commands: patch -Np1 -i ../flac-&flac-version;-xmms_plugin_fix-1.patch && LIBS=-lm ./configure --prefix=/usr && 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. This test suite will take quite a while. 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 LIBS=-lm ./configure --prefix=/usr: libFLAC uses a function from the math library but is not linked with libm. Passing the environment variable to configure satisfies this dependency.
