| ALSA utils installation | |
| ======================= | |
| Requirements | |
| ------------ | |
| alsamixer requires the ncurses library. Some systems need to install | |
| the develop package additionally to link with this library. | |
| alsaconf requires dialog or whiptail program to run properly. | |
| Installation | |
| ------------ | |
| For installation you can use these commands: | |
| ./configure | |
| make install | |
| If ./configure command complain that alsa-lib package isn't installed, | |
| please, check if --prefix option is same for alsa-lib and alsa-utils | |
| package. The configure script from alsa-utils package probably cannot find | |
| header file asoundlib.h in $prefix/include/alsa directory (usually in | |
| /usr/include/alsa directory). | |
| Compilation from HG sources | |
| --------------------------- | |
| You need also GNU packages autoconf and automake installed in your system | |
| to compile HG (Mercurial) sources of alsa-utils package. | |
| For compilation you can use these commands: | |
| aclocal | |
| gettextize | |
| autoheader | |
| automake --foreign --copy --add-missing | |
| autoconf | |
| ./configure | |
| make | |
| The included hgcompile script does this job for you. | |
| Note: Some automake packages have missing aclocal program. Use newer version | |
| in the case. |
