How to compile in linux? Options

[spitf1r3]

I need to compile libmpcdec to be able to decode SV8 files under linux, can anyone tell me what I need to do?

I think you need to install the program m4.

[xmixahlx]

on a debian distro the package "build-essential" will resolve all you need.

if you aren't on debian, your distro probably has something similar.

It will only work on debian, and distros based on it

aptitude build-depends or build-dep <packages>
Satisfy the build-dependencies of a package. Each package name may
be a source package, in which case the build dependencies of that
source package are installed; otherwise, binary packages are found
in the same way as for the “install” command, and the
build-dependencies of the source packages that build those binary
packages are satisfied.

aptitude build-dep <package>

will also install needed compilation tools like build ess
