WHAT'S HERE:
-This source distribution includes libvorbis, a full-featured example
-encoder/player to demonstrate use of libvorbis and documentation on
-the Ogg Vorbis audio coding format.

-BUILD:
+The user website for Ogg Vorbis software and audio is http://vorbis.com/
+
+BUILDING FROM TRUNK:
+
+Development source is under subversion revision control at
+https://svn.xiph.org/trunk/vorbis/. You will also need the
+newest versions of autoconf, automake, libtool and pkg-config in
+order to compile Vorbis from development source. A configure script
+is provided for you in the source tarball distributions.
+
+ [update or checkout latest source]
+ ./autogen.sh
+ make
+
+and as root if desired:
+
+ make install
+
+This will install the Vorbis libraries (static and shared) into
+/usr/local/lib, includes into /usr/local/include and API manpages
+(once we write some) into /usr/local/man.
+
+Documentation building requires xsltproc and pdfxmltex.
+
+BUILDING FROM TARBALL DISTRIBUTIONS:
+
+ ./configure
+ make
-A standard build should consist of nothing more than:
+and optionally (as root):
+ make install
-./configure
-./make
+BUILDING RPMS:
-and as root if desired :
+after normal configuring:
-./make install
+ make dist
+ rpm -ta libvorbis-<version>.tar.gz
-This will install the ogg vorbis commandline encoder/player ('ogg')
-into /usr/local/bin, the ogg player and libvorbis manpages into
-/usr/local/man/ and libvorbis.a into /usr/local/lib.
