Building liquidsoap from source
Dependencies
You can choose which features you want to enable when building liquidsoap.
If you use the -full tarball, each shipped feature can be enabled/disabled using the PACKAGE file.
Here are liquidsoap's dependencies (all OCaml libraries are distributed by Savonet, except when linked):
- ocamlfind
- ocaml-dtools
- ocaml-duppy (>= 0.1.2)
- ocaml-pcre
And also optional dependencies:
- ocaml-ogg
- ocaml-vorbis
- ocaml-shout
- ocaml-mad for mp3 decoding
- ocaml-lame for mp3 encoding
- ocaml-faac for AAC encoding
- ocaml-faad for AAC stream decoding
- ocaml-taglib for MP3 audio tag reading
- ocaml-magic for file type detection
- ocaml-xmlplaylist for XML-based playlist formats
- ocaml-soundtouch for soundtouch audio effects
- ocaml-lastfm and ocaml-xmllight for lastfm protocol support
- camomile for detecting metadata encodings and re-encoding them to utf8
- ocaml-alsa for ALSA input/output
- ocaml-ao for AO I/O
- ocaml-portaudio for Portaudio I/O
- ocaml-bjack for Jack output/input

- festival for speech synthesis (say)
And other that you'll find on the project page, or in liquidsoap-full tarball.
Building the source
From every sub-project's directory you can build and install the package using ./bootstrap, ./configure, make and optionally make install.
From the toplevel savonet directory you can also directly build a vanilla liquidsoap. It's fast and doesn't require you to install the libraries. The steps to follow are simple:
# Edit PACKAGES to choose which feature you want ./configure make # To install liquidsoap, # you'll usually need to type the following as root make install
