I am new user of MAD. I am trying to compile MAD on my platform (MIPS based). When I try to run the ./confogure from commandline it prompts me to point to the libmad and libid3tag which are in separate directories, so I give path to both libmad and libid3tag like below from the directory where madplay-0.15.2b is kept

./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/root/Music/audioplayer/libmad/libmad-0.15.1b CPPFLAGS=-I/root/Music/audioplayer/libid3tag/libid3tag-0.15.1b LDFLAGS=-L/root/Music/audioplayer/libmad/libmad-0.15.1b LDFLAGS=-L/ root/Music/audioplayer/libid3tag/libid3tag-0.15.1b

But it still complains that it can not find mad.h and I must first install libmad .

Could you please tell me how to point to libmad and lib3tag at the same time?

The usual way to build and install is:

% cd libmad-0.15.1b % ./configure % make # make install

% cd ../libid3tag-0.15.1b % ./configure % make # make install

% cd ../madplay-0.15.2b % ./configure % make # make install

(The order is important; you must install libmad and libid3tag before configuring madplay.)

The default is to install under /usr/local, i.e. /usr/local/include for header files, /usr/local/lib for shared library files, and /usr/ local/bin for executables.

If you want to install somewhere else (e.g. /opt/mad), you can do so like this:

% cd libmad-0.15.1b % ./configure --prefix=/opt/mad % make # make install

% cd ../libid3tag-0.15.1b % ./configure --prefix=/opt/mad % make # make install

% cd ../madplay-0.15.2b % ./configure --prefix=/opt/mad CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/mad/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/mad/lib % make # make install
