Compile opus-tools with opus 1.2.1 (Ubuntu 17.04)

  • 772

How do I compile opus-tools to use Opus 1.2.1?

I've manually installed the latest version of Opus

wget https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/opus/opus-1.2.1.tar.gz
tar -xzf opus-1.2.1.tar.gz
cd opus-1.2.1
./configure
make
sudo make install

That completes without error and, I assume, means the 1.2.1 library is now installed.

I then try to compile opus tools:

wget https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/opus/opus-tools-0.1.10.tar.gz 
tar -xzf opus-tools-0.1.10.tar.gz
cd opus-tools-0.1.10
./configure
make

I now have opusenc and the other tools compiled in that directory. However, when I run ./opusenc --version I see

opusenc opus-tools 0.1.10 (using libopus 1.1.2)

What magic command to I need to use in order to get opusenc compiled with 1.2.1?

  1. Uninstall the package libopus-dev; you don't need it since you want to compile using your own libopus.

  2. Your mistake was that after installing opus you didn't run sudo ldconfig

    If you had then it would have linked to that version of opus you built & installed.( at runtime..

    Note that the next time you installed any package that runs ldconfig the version you installed to /usr/local/ would then be used for better or worse..
