27 All of the tools require libogg and libvorbis to be installed (along
28 with the header files). Additionally, ogg123 requires libao, libcurl,
29 and a POSIX-compatible thread library. Ogg123 can optionally compiled
30 to use libFLAC, and libspeex. Oggenc can be optionally compiled with
31 libFLAC, and libkate. The libraries libogg, libvorbis, and libao are

59 BUILDING FROM SUBVERSION (see the file HACKING for details):
64 and as root if desired :
68 This will install the tools into /usr/local/bin and manpages into
72 BUILDING FROM TARBALL DISTRIBUTIONS:
77 and as root if desired :
85 after autogen.sh or configure
88 rpm -ta vorbis-tools-<version>.tar.gz
94 First noticed in non-English versions of the application, ogg123 has a major
95 bug when it comes to status messages in the shell: any output bigger than
96 the console's width will break and start spamming that message infinitely
97 until the console is resized.
99 Different attempts to fix this bug have ended up causing bigger problems,
100 leading to the conclusion that it simply can't be fixed without a large
101 re-write of the application, which will not happen any time soon. If you
102 come across this issue, please augment your terminal window size.
