Vorbis dev - Nov 2006 - Compiling libogg and libvorbis using MinGW

Hi there,

This is probably a rather stupid question, but being a bit new to the open 
source world I'd like to ask this question anyway:

I'm trying to learn more about Ogg Vorbis, so I downloaded the source code 
for libogg and libvorbis. I unzipped them and tried to compile them using 
../configure and make in MinGW. libvorbis complains that libogg is not 
installed even though I just compiled it, so I was thinking that maybe the 
tree structure is not as it should be. When I have the zip-files for libogg 
and libvorbis, how do I know how the tree structure should look like? Should 
I unzip them both into the same directory? Is it at all possible to compile 
the libraries using MinGW?

These are all probably very basic and newbie questions. I'm sorry about 
that. I tried to find the answers in FAQs and readme-files, but was 
unsuccessful. If this kind of information can be found on the net somewhere, 
could you perhaps give me a link?

Thank you very much in advance!

After doing "make" in libogg, do a "make install".

By default, ./configure has make install put the libraries in
/usr/local/lib.  If you're using MinGW under Cygwin, that's the right
place.  But if it's not, run ./configure with --prefix set to that
parent directory of where you want your libraries installed:

./configure --prefix=/path/to/prefix

I don't know how things are usually done with MinGW, but the libvorbis 
package assumes it will find libogg installed like a normal library. You 
can pass '--with-ogg=<prefix>' if you've installed libogg in
some custom
location, or something like '--with-ogg-libraries=../libogg-version/src/ 
--with-ogg-includes=../liboggg-version/include/' to point to your 
compiled directory.

HTH,
 -r

I'm very sorry for my late reply. Thank you all for your help. I haven't
had
time to work on this for a while, but I'll try to get it working today.
