Installation of libFAME

Install libFAME by running the following commands: 

patch -Np1 -i ../libfame-0.9.1-gcc34-1.patch &&
sed -i 's/$CC --version/$CC -dumpversion/' configure &&
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

sed -i 's/$CC --version/$CC -dumpversion/' configure: This command causes the configure script to use a different command to find out the version of the compiler. Without this command, the -fstrict-aliasing flag is not added to the CFLAGS variable in the various Makefiles.

--enable-sse: This option is off by default and should be set on if your machine has SSE capability. One way to find out if you have SSE is to issue cat /proc/cpuinfo and see if sse is listed in the flags.
