WHAT'S HERE:
This is an abridged version of the Vorbis library, pared down to only include enough to compile the required libraries used in decoding a Vorbis file. For the full Vorbis library, go to http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/
This package was prepared by Jon Shiring (jshiring@etantrum.com).
WHAT IS VORBIS:
Vorbis is a general purpose audio and music encoding format contemporary to MPEG-4's AAC and TwinVQ, the next generation beyond MPEG audio layer 3. Unlike the MPEG sponsored formats (and other proprietary formats such as RealAudio G2 and Windows' flavor of the month), the Vorbis CODEC specification belongs to the public domain. All the technical details are published and documented, and any software entity may make full use of the format without royalty or patent concerns.
- CONTACT
The OggSquish homepage is located at 'http://www.xiph.org/ogg/'. Vorbis's homepage is located at 'http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/'. Up to date technical documents, contact information, source code and pre-built utilities may be found there.
- BUILD
A standard build should consist of nothing more than:
./configure
make
and as root if desired :
make install
This will install the ogg vorbis commandline encoder/player ('ogg') into /usr/local/bin, the ogg player and libvorbis manpages into /usr/local/man/ and libvorbis.a into /usr/local/lib.
