Vorbis - Oct 2006 - configure can't find speex and flac libraries :-(

Hi everybody!

I just installed vorbis-tools on my linux system fro source, but the configure
script can't find the
libraries for speex and flac, so ogg123 is compiled without support for flac and
speex. Just know, I
don't need it urgently, but it would have been nice...

I admit, I keep those libraries in a non-standard directory, but ldconfig is
configured to find
them. I messed a bit around with the Makefiles and some compiler options, but I
don't know enough of
make, automake, gcc & co, so I hadn't any success. Does anybody know a
workaround for me?

And here a request for the developers: Would it be possible, maybe in the next
release of
vorbis-tools, to include some configure options like
"--with-speex-libraries=",
"--with-speex-includes=", "--with-flac-libraries=" and
"--with-flac-includes="? This would be very
helpful for software development dummies like me... ;-)

Cheers
Andy

ld configuration is ignored during the compile process.

Use the environment variable CFLAGS. Its value is appended to all cc command
lines:

(if you use bash)
export CFLAGS="-I/your/path/to/headers -L/your/path/to/libs"
configure
make
