Installation of Libmikmod

Install libmikmod by running the following commands: 

patch -Np1 -i ../libmikmod-3.1.11-a.diff &&
sed -i -e "s/VERSION=10/VERSION=11/" \
       -e "s/sys_asoundlib/alsa_asoundlib/" \
       -e "s/snd_cards/snd_card_load/g" \
       -e "s|sys/asoundlib.h|alsa/asoundlib.h|g" \
       -e "s/^LIBOBJS/#LIBOBJS/" \
    configure.in &&
autoconf &&
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make

Now, as the root user: 

make install &&
chmod 755 /usr/lib/libmikmod.so.2.0.4 &&
install -v -m644 -D docs/mikmod.html \
    /usr/share/doc/libmikmod-3.1.11/mikmod.html

Command Explanations

sed -i -e ...: This increments the package micro version and also modifies the ALSA header search routine so that the package properly discovers the ALSA library. It also fixes a problem which makes autoconf fail.

autoconf: This generates a new configure script, required because of the changes to configure.in.
