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,

As I was trying to hint that's not how it's supposed to be done. Try this:
cd to the directory and then do a "cmake ."
Now cmake should produce a Makefile for you to use with "make && make install".

Problem is, there's obviously a bug:
When you run 'cmake .' inside the libcuefile directory, and then 'make && make install', it installs all but the include files.
This results in an error when you run cmake in musepack_src:

CODE

CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
CUEFILE_INCLUDE_DIR
   used as include directory in directory /home/bereziak/make/musepack_src_r435/mpcchap

I tried setting CUEFILE_INCLUDE_DIR to the directory where I unpacked libcuefile, but to no avail.

To make things work, I manually copied the include directory of libcuefile into /usr/local/include.
Even after doing this, things still don't work as expected, since obviously the CMakeLists.txt in the subfolders of musepack_src are mostly broken.
The only thing that's being installed after running

CODE

cmake .
make
make install

is mpcenc, nothing else. No other binary, no libraries, and no includes.

Until those bugs are resolved, there's no point in using cmake, as it doesn't reliably create what I want. And to circumvent this, I might as well create it with conventional make.
Or maybe a combination, I'll post both solutions, probably. The important thing is, that the tools work as expected.

I looked into it and it's apparently true, the install routine doesn't copy the headers itself. Gentoo's ebuild for example does it manually also.

This results in an error when you run cmake in musepack_src:

I'm not sure why this occurs, as it does not behave like this for me, CUEFILE_INCLUDE_DIR is automatically detected (/usr/include instead of /usr/local/include on Gentoo thought) even if I manually compile it without using portage. You can set cmake variables like this thought, they aren't the same as env-variables as you might have noticed:

-D <var>:<type>=<value>
Create a cmake cache entry.

When cmake is first run in an empty build tree, it creates a
CMakeCache.txt file and populates it with customizable settings
for the project. This option may be used to specify a setting
that takes priority over the project's default value. The
option may be repeated for as many cache entries as desired.

CODE

cmake -DCUEFILE_INCLUDE_DIR:FILEPATH=/usr/local/include/

That might do the trick for you.
