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: Install FLAC by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-thorough-tests && make To test the results, issue: make check. Note that if you passed the --enable-exhaustive-tests and --enable-valgrind-testing 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 --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. --enable-sse: 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.
