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-1.2.1 &&
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-1.2.1.tar.gz &&
cd speexdsp-1.2.1 &&
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--disable-static \
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/speexdsp-1.2.1 &&
make
Again, as the root user:
make install
--disable-static: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
