# lame 3.97
# =========
# Prerequisites:
# ncurses

# GTK+ >= 1.2.0 (for mp3x)
# mpg123 or mpg321
# nasm (optional)

cd

# Apply this patch so you can use recent versions of libsndfile. AFAIK,
# without the patch, you'd have to use one that is at least a few years old.

# If you want to build the GTK+-based frame analyzer (mp3x), pass
# --enable-mp3x to configure

./configure
make

# Become root to install it
su

# As configured above, the docs will go into /usr/local/share/doc
# If you don't want this, either start over again and pass --datadir=/usr
# to configure (making them go into /usr/doc), or do what I do and create
# a /usr/local/share/doc symlink that points to /usr/local/doc:
mkdir -p /usr/local/doc /usr/local/share
test -d /usr/local/share/doc && test ! -L /usr/local/share/doc &&
mv -f /usr/local/share/doc/* /usr/local/doc/
test ! -L /usr/local/share/doc &&
ln -sf /usr/local/doc /usr/local/share/doc

# Remove old shared libraries and install it
rm -f /usr/local/lib/libmp3lame.*
make install
ldconfig

# Become yourself again
exit

cd
mkdir -p -m 0700 installed
rm -f installed/lame-*.tar.*
mv lame-3.97.tar.gz installed/

# If you ever need to uninstall lame, this should do it:
cd
su
test -d src/lame-3.97 && ( cd src/lame-3.97 ; make uninstall )
rm -f /usr/local/lib/libmp3lame.* /usr/local/man/man1/lame.1
