WHAT'S HERE: This source distribution includes the vorbis tools and nothing else. Other modules (eg, the modules vorbis, vorbis-tools and vorbis-plugins for the Vorbis codec) contain the codec libraries for use with Ogg bitstreams. DIRECTORIES: debian/ debian packaging stuff include/ header files shared between the tools intl/ GNU gettext library from gettext-0.10.40 (for i18n support) ogg123/ an ogg vorbis command line audio player oggenc/ the ogg vorbis encoder oggdec/ a simple, portable command line decoder (to wav and raw) ogginfo/ provides information (tags, bitrate, length, etc.) about an ogg vorbis file po/ translations for non-English languages share/ code shared between the tools vcut/ cuts an ogg vorbis file into two parts at a particular point vorbiscomment/ edits the comments in an ogg vorbis file win32/ Win32 build stuff DEPENDENCIES: All of the tools require libogg and libvorbis to be installed (along with the header files). Additionally, ogg123 requires libao, libcurl, and a POSIX-compatible thread library. Ogg123 can optionally compiled to use libFLAC, libOggFLAC, and libspeex. Oggenc can be optionally compiled with libFLAC and libOggFLAC. The libraries libogg, libvorbis, and libao are all available at http://www.vorbis.com/download.psp The libcurl library is packaged with most Linux distributions. The source code can also be downloaded from: http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/ FLAC is available at: http://flac.sourceforge.net Speex is available at: http://www.speex.org/ CONTACT: The Ogg Vorbis homepage is located at 'http://www.vorbis.com'. Up to date technical documents, contact information, source code and pre-built utilities may be found there. BUILDING FROM CVS: ./autogen.sh make and as root if desired : make install This will install the tools into /usr/local/bin and manpages into /usr/local/man. BUILDING FROM TARBALL DISTRIBUTIONS: ./configure make and as root if desired : make install BUILDING RPMS: RPMs may be built by: after autogen.sh or configure make dist rpm -ta vorbis-tools-.tar.gz
