Speex is an audio compression format designed especially for speech. It is well-adapted to internet applications and provides useful features that are not present in most other CODECs.
Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the book.

User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/speex
This package consists of two separate tarballs. They need to be extracted and built independently.
Install Speex by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \ --disable-static \ --docdir=/usr/share/doc/speex-1.2.0 && make
This package does not come with a test suite.
As the root
user:
make install
Now extract and install the speexdsp package:
cd .. && tar -xf speexdsp-1.2.0.tar.gz && cd speexdsp-1.2.0 && ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --disable-static \ --docdir=/usr/share/doc/speexdsp-1.2.0 && make
Again, as the root
user:
make install
--disable-static
: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
--enable-binaries
: Builds two binaries
to encode and decode to and from the speex format.
