Chris@41: Install Instructions for libsamplerate
Chris@41: ======================================
Chris@41: 
Chris@41: The following instructions explain how to install libsamplerate under
Chris@41: Linux and other Unix like systems including Mac OSX. (For windows,
Chris@41: see http://www.mega-nerd.com/SRC/win32.html).
Chris@41: 
Chris@41: Preliminaries
Chris@41: -------------
Chris@41: 1) Included with libsamplerate is a command line program named
Chris@41:    sndfile-resample which uses libnsdile:
Chris@41: 
Chris@41:         http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/
Chris@41: 
Chris@41:    for file I/O. If you want to use sndfile-resample you need to
Chris@41:    ensure that libsndfile is correctly installed first. If it is, the
Chris@41:    command "pkg-config --cflags --libs sndfile" should print out
Chris@41:    something like this:
Chris@41: 
Chris@41:      -lsndfile
Chris@41: 
Chris@41:    If pkg-config doesn't exist you will need need to install it. If
Chris@41:    pkg-config cannot find libsndfile you may need install it. If you
Chris@41:    install from from a Linux distribution package, make sure you also
Chris@41:    install the libsndfile-devel package which contains the header files.
Chris@41: 
Chris@41:    If libsndfile is installed, you may need to set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
Chris@41:    environment variable. If libsndfile is installed in /usr/local/lib,
Chris@41:    you will need to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH using:
Chris@41: 
Chris@41:        export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
Chris@41: 
Chris@41:    Pkg-config should now work. If it doesn't you need to fix it if you
Chris@41:    want to use sndfile-resample.
Chris@41: 
Chris@41: 2) The included tests suite for libsamplerate needs libfftw3 which is
Chris@41:    available here:
Chris@41: 
Chris@41:        http://www.fftw.org/
Chris@41: 
Chris@41:    If FFTW3 is not available, libsamplerate should still compile and
Chris@41:    install without problems but the test suite will not be as
Chris@41:    comprehensive as it normally is.
Chris@41: 
Chris@41: Building
Chris@41: --------
Chris@41: Building and verifying libsamplerate is a four or five step process.
Chris@41: 
Chris@41: 1) The first step is to run configure
Chris@41: 
Chris@41:         ./configure
Chris@41: 
Chris@41:    which should print out something like the following:
Chris@41: 
Chris@41:        checking build system type...
Chris@41:        ...
Chris@41:        ...
Chris@41:        -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Configuration Complete =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Chris@41: 
Chris@41:          Configuration summary :
Chris@41: 
Chris@41:            Version : ..................... X.Y.Z
Chris@41:            Enable debugging : ............ no
Chris@41: 
Chris@41:          Tools :
Chris@41: 
Chris@41:            Compiler is GCC : ............. yes
Chris@41:            GCC major version : ........... 3
Chris@41: 
Chris@41:          Extra tools required for testing and examples :
Chris@41: 
Chris@41:            Use FFTW : .................... yes
Chris@41:            Have libsndfile : ............. yes
Chris@41: 
Chris@41:          Installation directories :
Chris@41: 
Chris@41:            Library directory : ........... /usr/local/lib
Chris@41:            Program directory : ........... /usr/local/bin
Chris@41:            Pkgconfig directory : ......... /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
Chris@41: 
Chris@41:        Compiling some other packages against libsamplerate may require
Chris@41:        the addition of "/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig" to the
Chris@41:        PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.
Chris@41: 
Chris@41:    There are a number of configure options. See the output of
Chris@41:    configure when run with the --help command line option.
Chris@41: 
Chris@41: 2) If all goes well with the above then compiling the library can be
Chris@41:    done with
Chris@41: 
Chris@41:        make
Chris@41: 
Chris@41: 3) When that has finished, the test suite can be run using:
Chris@41: 
Chris@41:        make check
Chris@41: 
Chris@41: 4) The final step is to install the library. This step needs to be
Chris@41:    carried out as the root user (or with sudo):
Chris@41: 
Chris@41:        make install
Chris@41: 
Chris@41:    This command will by default install the library in the directory
Chris@41:    /usr/local/lib. It can in installed in other location by using the
Chris@41:    --prefix option in step 1).
Chris@41: 
Chris@41: 5) On linux, one more step is required, the registering of the library
Chris@41:    with the system. This is done by running the following command
Chris@41:    (also as the root user):
Chris@41: 
Chris@41:         ldconfig -v
Chris@41: 
Chris@41: As a final test, you can run
Chris@41: 
Chris@41:         sndfile-resample
Chris@41: 
Chris@41: to make sure everything is installed correctly.
