Typical installation

On a reasonably fresh system (e.g. Ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04), installation is straightforward. To compile, this is what you need to do:

    sudo apt-get install libsndfile-dev libflac-dev libzita-convolver-dev \
                         libfuse-dev libmicrohttpd-dev
    make

To install in the default location /usr/local/bin, just do

    sudo make install

.. otherwise specify the alternative location with PREFIX

    sudo make PREFIX=/usr install

Older Systems

Older systems, e.g. Ubuntu 10.04 lack sufficiently recent libraries for FUSE and the zita convolver. In that case, don't install these with apt-get; in fact, better remove the old versions to avoid confusion:

    sudo apt-get remove libzita-convolver-dev libfuse-dev

.. and compile the latest versions yourself:

    # The FUSE library
    cd /tmp
    wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/fuse/files/fuse-2.X/2.9.1/fuse-2.9.1.tar.gz
    tar xvzf fuse-2.9.1.tar.gz
    cd fuse-2.9.1/
    ./configure
    make
    sudo make install

also

    # The Zita convolver
    cd /tmp
    wget http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/downloads/zita-convolver-3.1.0.tar.bz2
    tar xvjf zita-convolver-3.1.0.tar.bz2
    cd zita-convolver-3.1.0/libs
    make
    sudo make LIBDIR=lib install

Now, the compilation step described in Typical installation should succeed.

Linking statically

To install Folve on some embedded systems (e.g. a NAS), you might need to link it statically. This depends a lot on your system, so it might require some twiddeling, but let's see the basic steps.

First, you need to create a static version of the zita-convolver libray; the default installation does not provide this. To do so, first start with compiling The Zita convolver yourself, as described in the Older Systems section.

Then run the following commands:

    # .. afer compiling as described in 'Older Systems' do:
    cd /tmp/zita-convolver-3.1.0/libs
    ar rcs libzita-convolver.a zita-convolver.o
    ranlib libzita-convolver.a
    sudo install -m 644 libzita-convolver.a /usr/local/lib

Now we can compile Folve statically:

    cd /directory/where/folve/git/is/checked/out
    make clean
    make LINK_STATIC=y

The last step might fail if there are additional dependencies. Add them in the ifdef LINK_STATIC section of the Makefile.
