The A/52 standard is used in a variety of applications, including digital television and DVD. &lfs77_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &liba52-md5sum; Download size: &liba52-size; Estimated disk space required: &liba52-buildsize; Estimated build time: &liba52-time; Optional djbfft User Notes: Install liba52 by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --mandir=/usr/share/man \ --enable-shared \ --disable-static \ CFLAGS="-g -O2 $([ $(uname -m) = x86_64 ] && echo -fPIC)" && make To test the results, issue: make check. Now, as the root user: make install && cp liba52/a52_internal.h /usr/include/a52dec && install -v -m644 -D doc/liba52.txt \ /usr/share/doc/liba52-&liba52-version;/liba52.txt CFLAGS="-g -O2 ...: This sets CFLAGS to -g -O2 (which is the default) but then on x86_64 adds -fPIC. This is needed to compile liba52 on x86_64. --disable-static: This option stops it installing the static version of the library. cp liba52/a52_internal.h ...: Copying this header file into /usr/include/a52dec allows some other programs (such as xine-lib) to compile and link against a system installed liba52.
