HOWTO

# libsndfile
# ==========
# The latest release is 1.0.17, but that may not work with recent versions
# of other libraries (like flac 1.1.4), so 1.0.18pre20 is below too.

# libsndfile 1.0.17
# =================
# pkg-config
# SQLite3 >= 3.2 (optional; add --disable-sqlite to skip)
# ALSA (optional; add --disable-alsa to skip)
# FLAC (optional; add --disable-flac to skip)

# Slackware puts it's docs in /usr/doc.  /usr/share/doc is a symlink to
# /usr/doc.  If you used --prefix=/usr above, the docs will be installed
# into /usr/share/doc, which ls actually /usr/doc.
#
# I don't use --prefix=/usr (the default is /usr/local), so by default the
# docs will end up in /usr/local/share/doc.  You might normally try
# --docdir=/usr/doc or --docdir=/usr/local/doc, but libsndfile's configure
# doesn't seem to actually use it though it is listed.
#
# To catch this, with libsndfile and lots of others that put docs in
# /usr/local/share/doc, I create a symlink from /usr/local/share/doc to the
# real /usr/local/doc directory.  If you want all of your docs, 'local' or
# otherwise, to go into /usr/doc, then point the symlink to /usr/doc
