Compiling Musepack on Linux Options

[polemon]

Hi, there isn't much documentation on how to get Musepack compiled under Linux.

I'd like to compile it myself, so I've downloaded the source packages:

• Musepack SV8 libs & tools (r435)
• libreplaygain (r453)
• libcuefile (r453)

But I didn't get much further than that.

I did a autoreconf -vif and after running ./configure it seems to run through fine, expect for not finding replaygain.
When running make, I get the error that cuetools/cuefile.h is not found.

Now, I've downloaded both libs with their source codes, but what am I supposed to do with them? should I put them into the musepack_src_r435 directory?
libcuefile doesn't even have a Makefile, should I compile them with gcc manually?

Would be nice to see some better documentation on the build process, or packages that just need:

CODE

./configure
make
make install

In the end, I'd like the Musepack tools and their libs to be compiled and installed, along with libcuefile and libreplaygain.

Cheers,

Depending on what distro you're running you'll need -dev packages for the libs which contain the header files. The libs you installed are most likely just binary blobs. Now if you install a binary program the program already has the information compiled into it how to access those libs, but if you want to compile something yourself you're gonna need the header (-dev) files to tell your compiler how the program can access the libs.
So you'll probably gonna want to look into your package manager for -dev packages of the libraries you installed. Otherwise you'll need to fetch the header files (.h, .hpp for C/C++) from the source code yourself and copy them somewhere in the include path of your C/C++ compiler.

Looking at the ebuild for libcuefile I see that libcuefile uses cmake to compile, so you might want to read up on that.
