Hi

I trying to compile and install SDL_mixer (1.2.11) with Flac support. But I got this message when I execute ./configure.

---
checking FLAC/export.h usability... no
checking FLAC/export.h presence... no
checking for FLAC/export.h... no
configure: WARNING: *** Unable to find FLAC library (http://flac.sourceforge.net
/)
configure: WARNING: FLAC support disabled
---

I have flac-1.2.1 installed and ready.

I quess this is an easy problem for a lot of you people, but I'm quite new to this so I need some tips.

Best regards,

Look at config.log, it will list the snippet it tried to compile to determine FLAC support.

Thanks GenPFault for your Tips.

This was in the log. I understand that the Library/File can't be found. But I can't figure out how to solve it. How to explain for ./configure where to find the files.

----

configure:13399: checking FLAC/export.h usability
configure:13416: gcc -c -g -O2 -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 conftest.c >&5
conftest.c:52:25: fatal error: FLAC/export.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

And this is whats in the beginning of the log.

PATH: .
PATH: /usr/local/bin
PATH: /mingw/bin
PATH: /bin
PATH: /c/Windows/system32
PATH: /c/Windows
PATH: /c/Dev/flac-1.2.1

I'm not sure what FLAC package that is, but does it have the header and static libs, or is it just a DLL?

At any rate, you need to make configure see these directories. Usually, that'll be done with something like "./configure --with-flac=/c/Dev/flac-1.2.1".

Hi and thanks for your support!

There is no parameter --with-flac.

About Flac-files.
The sourcecode is from http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/SDL_mixer-1.2.1

I have unpacked the Zip-file and compile it, no errors at all.

• cd c:/dev/flac-1.2.1
• ./configure --disable-rpath --disable-xmms-plugin --enable-sse
• make
• make install

Best regards
