sox_ng wiki - Distro-NetBSD

Distro NetBSD

NetBSD carries 14.4.2 with three patches.

Patches

All three have been applied to sox_ng.

Patch	Issue
remove-the-error-line-and-live-without-file-type-det	#67
Update-exported-symbol-list	#35
tests-Include-math.h-for-fabs-definition	#50

Build dependencies

For a release tarball

to compile for full functionality

  pkg_add libao libao-oss ...

amd ensure that alsa-lib is not installed or configure --without-alsa

Building

On NetBSD, ./configure --without-oss --without-sunaudio to avoid compilation errors "ld: ossioctl undefined" and "'audio_info_t' has no member named 'output_muted'"

I also had to

  ./configure CFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include -O2" LDFLAGS=-L/usr/pkg/lib

before it could find most of the libraries

Runtime dependencies

  libao-oss ffmpeg2-8
