    <title>Installation of Liba52</title>

    <para>Install <application>liba52</application> by running the
    following commands:</para>

<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --disable-static \
  CFLAGS="-g -O2 $([ $(arch) = x86_64 ] &amp;&amp; echo -fPIC)" &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>

    <para>To test the results, issue: <command>make check</command>.</para>

    <para>Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>
    user:</para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>make install &amp;&amp;
cp liba52/a52_internal.h /usr/include/a52dec &amp;&amp;
install -v -m644 -D doc/liba52.txt \
    /usr/share/doc/liba52-&liba52-version;/liba52.txt</userinput></screen>

  <sect2 role="commands">
    <title>Command Explanations</title>

    <para><parameter>CFLAGS="-g -O2 ...</parameter>: This sets CFLAGS to -g -O2
    (which is the default) but then on x86_64 adds -fPIC. This is needed to
    compile <application>liba52</application> on x86_64.</para>

    <para><option>--disable-static</option>: This option stops it installing
    the static version of the library.</para>

    <para><command>cp liba52/a52_internal.h ...</command>: Copying this header
    file into /usr/include/a52dec allows some other programs (such as
    <application>xine-lib</application>) to compile and link against a system
    installed <application>liba52</application>.</para>
