alsa-utils/INSTALL

			ALSA utils installation
			=======================

Requirements
------------

alsamixer requires the ncurses library.  Some systems need to install
the develop package additionally to link with this library.

alsaconf requires dialog or whiptail program to run properly.

Installation
------------

For installation you can use these commands:

	./configure
	make install

If ./configure command complain that alsa-lib package isn't installed,
please, check if --prefix option is same for alsa-lib and alsa-utils
package. The configure script from alsa-utils package probably cannot find
header file asoundlib.h in $prefix/include/alsa directory (usually in
/usr/include/alsa directory).

Compilation from git sources
---------------------------

You need also GNU packages autoconf and automake installed in your system
to compile git sources of alsa-utils package.

For compilation you can use these commands:

	aclocal
	gettextize
	autoheader
	automake --foreign --copy --add-missing
	autoconf
	./configure
	make

The included gitcompile script does this job for you.

To configure the build to install in a local directory, a command like the
following can be used:

	./gitcompile --prefix="$PWD/build" \
	  --with-systemdsystemunitdir="$PWD/build/$(pkg-config systemd --variable=systemdsystemunitdir)" \
	  --with-udev-rules-dir="$PWD/build/$(pkg-config udev --variable=udevdir)"

Note: Some automake packages have missing aclocal program. Use newer version
      in the case.
