List available optional features
$ ./configure --help
Auto-detect everything
$ ./configure
To disable some feature, arts for example, and install to
$HOMErun
$ ./configure prefix=$HOME CONFIG_ARTS=n
After running configure you can see from the generated
config.mkfile what features have been configured in (see the
CONFIG_*options).
Note: For some distributions you need to install development versions of the dependencies. For example if you want to use 'mad' input plugin (mp3) you need to install
libmad0-dev(Debian) or
libmad-devel(RPM) package. After installing dependencies you need to run
./configureagain, of course.
If you want to use the Tremor library as alternative for decoding Ogg/Vorbis files you have to pass
CONFIG_TREMOR=yto the configure script:
$ ./configure CONFIG_VORBIS=y CONFIG_TREMOR=y
The Tremor library is supposed to be used on hardware that has no FPU.
$ make
Or on some BSD systems you need to explicitly use GNU make:
$ gmake
$ make install
Or to install to a temporary directory:
$ make install DESTDIR=~/tmp/cmus
This is useful when creating binary packages.
Remember to replace
makewith
gmakeif needed.
$ man cmus-tutorial
And
$ man cmus
