Installing Lame
---------------

To install DarkIce, you need the Lame 3.89 or later libraries and
related header files already installed on your system.

It is recommended that use install Lame to the usual system locations,
/usr/lib, /usr/include, so that DarkIce will find the header files and
libraries. Thus when configuring, add --prefix=/usr to the configure
options.

Grab the latest lame source tarball from a download site found at
http://www.mp3dev.org/mp3/download/download.html
or from the DarkIce SourceForge project download area
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=14111

I took lame lame-3.91.tar.gz. Go to the directory where you saved it,
and issue the following commands:

tar xfz lame-3.91.tar.gz
cd lame-3.91
./configure --with-fileio=lame --without-vorbis --disable-gtktest --enable-expopt=full --prefix=/usr
make
make install

For the last step, you need to be root or have write permissions in the
target directories.

You might consider using nasm if you're on a i386 system, with the
configure option --enable-nasmm, for maximum performance.


On RedHat Linux
---------------

Compiling Lame on RedHat Linux is a tricky issue, because of gcc 2.96
packaged with the distributions 7.0 and 7.1. You either have to use
the comaptibility compiler package (compat-egcs and related packages,
providing gcc 2.91), or even better, gcc 3.0.

It is recommended that you compile lame with gcc 3. For maximum performance,
use the nasm assembler to compile assembly optimizations into lame.
Try the following commands:

tar xfz lame-3.91.tar.gz
cd lame-3.91
export CC=gcc3
./configure --with-fileio=lame --without-vorbis --disable-gtktest --enable-nasm --enable-expopt=full --prefix=/usr
make
make install
