System prerequisites

Building packages required preinstalled system packages:

base development packages: nasm, gcc, gcc-c++, libtool, automake*, autoconf*, make, libstdc++-devel, glibc-devel, subversion
development packages: alsa-lib-devel, SDL-devel, gtk+-devel, gtk2-devel, ncurses-devel
wxWidgets support required additional packages: wxGTK-2.6.x, wxGTK-devel-2.6.x, wxGTK-gl-2.6.x ( you can find sources at http://www.wxwidgets.org/, rpm could be found at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras or http://freshrpms.net/)

I choose path /usr/local/enctools for storing all builded files to avoid confilcts with other libs.

Make sure your PATH contains /usr/local/enctools/bin, to update path :

PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/enctools/bin; export PATH

Include libraries path to /etc/ld.so.conf:

--skipped--
/usr/local/enctools/lib
--skipped--

After adding path rebuild ld.so.cache:

ldconfig

Software building

a52dec

liba52 - a free ATSC A/52 stream decoder http://liba52.sourceforge.net/

gzip -cd a52dec-0.7.4.tar.gz | tar xvf -
cd a52dec-0.7.4
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/enctools --enable-shared=yes
make ; make install

amr

Download amrwb and amrnb source from http://www.penguin.cz/~utx/amr

Compile and install:

bzip2 -cd amrnb-7.0.0.0.tar.bz2 | tar xf -
cd amrnb-7.0.0.0
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/enctools
make ; make install
cd ..


bzip2 -cd amrwb-7.0.0.2.tar.bz2 | tar xf -
cd amrwb-7.0.0.2
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/enctools
make ; make install
cd ..

faac

AAC endecoder library http://www.audiocoding.com/modules/mydownloads/

gzip -cd faac-1.25.tar.gz | tar xf -
cd faac

To avoid warning during bootstrap:

utoreconf: running: aclocal --force
configure.in:10: warning: underquoted definition of MY_DEFINE
  run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
  or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal

and error during configuring:

config.status: creating \
.infig.status: error: cannot find input file: \

patch -p1 < faac.pipe.patch
autoreconf -vif
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/enctools --with-mp4v2
make ; make install

faad2

AAC decoder library http://www.audiocoding.com/modules/mydownloads/

gzip -cd faad2-2.5.tar.gz | tar xf -
cd faad2

For successfull compile (avoid conditional "HAVE_BMP" was never defined) apply Media:faad2.no_beep_media_player.patch patch discussed in audiocoding forum:

diff -uNr faad2.origin/configure.in faad2/configure.in
