Installation of WvStreams
If you have Tcl and SWIG installed and wish to utilize them, run
the following:
sed -i -e "s/8_3/8_4/" -e "s/8\.3/8.4/" \
configure{,.ac} include/wvautoconf.h.in bindings/rules.mk
Install WvStreams by running the
following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var &&
make
If Doxygen is installed and you
wish to build the API documentation, issue the following command:
make doxygen
To test the results, issue: make
test.
Now, as the root user:
make install
If you built the API documentation, install it using the following
commands:
install -v -d -m755 /usr/share/doc/wvstreams-4.2.2/doxy-html &&
install -v -m644 Docs/doxy-html/* \
/usr/share/doc/wvstreams-4.2.2/doxy-html
Command Explanations
sed -i ...: Change to
tcl8.4 from tcl8.3.
--sysconfdir=/etc: This
parameter places configuration files in /etc instead of /usr/etc.
--localstatedir=/var: This
parameter places uniconfd run-time files in /var/lib instead of /usr/var/lib.
Configuring WvStreams
Configuration
Information
As with most libraries, there is no configuration to do, save
that the library directory, i.e., /opt/lib or /usr/local/lib should appear in /etc/ld.so.conf so that ldd can find the shared libraries.
After checking that this is the case, /sbin/ldconfig should be run while
logged in as root.

Short Descriptions
|
uni
|
is a program to interface with the UniConf configuration
system.
|
|
uniconfd
|
is a daemon program for the UniConf configuration system.
|
|
libuniconf.{so,a}
|
contains functions that define a hierarchical registry
abstraction in the UniConf configuration system.
|
|
libwvbase.{so,a}
|
contains the Base64 encoder and decoder implementations
functions.
|
|
libwvfft.{so,a}
|
enables WvStreams
programs to easily handle Fast-Fourier transforms,
instead of forcing the programmer to use the much harder
to use libfftw interface.
|
|
libwvoggspeex.{so,a}
|
enables quick and painless creation of audio streams
using the Speex Voice
over IP CODEC.
|
|
libwvoggvorbis.{so,a}
|
enables quick and painless creation of audio streams
using the OggVorbis CODEC.
|
|
libwvqt.{so,a}
|
enables WvStreams to act
as the I/O and configuration back end for Qt and KDE.
|
|
libwvstreams.{so,a}
|
provides functions for basic streaming I/O support.
|
|
libtelephony.{so,a}
|
contains telephony function routines such as echo
cancellation, dc offset removal, automatic gain control,
etc.
|
|
libwvutils.{so,a}
|
contains functions required by the WvStreams libraries and utility
programs.
|
|
libxplc-cxx.a
|
contains helper functions for the C++ WvStreams bindings.
