Slackware Xine-Lib and Ogg

[Shawn Tayler]

Hi Guys,

Ever since Slackware moved up to Xine-Lib-1.1.1, I have had to rebuild the
package so that Xine (Also Amarok) could play Ogg/Vorbis sound files.

Here is the standard Slackbuild script configure line used to build from
source:

./configure \
  --prefix=/usr \
  --mandir=/usr/man \
  --with-w32-path=/usr/lib/codecs \

I add the following to correct the problem:

./configure \
  --prefix=/usr \
  --mandir=/usr/man \
  --with-w32-path=/usr/lib/codecs \
  --with-ogg-prefix=/usr/lib  <---  NEW LINE

I have done alot of Googling on this and really come up empty handed.  I
can't believe I am the only one using Amarok, and therefore the Xine-Lib
backend, to play Ogg files. 

I must have some configuration issue that has come along with
all the upgrades.  This has happened on every machine I have, some
starting at Slack 9.1, others at 10.0 and being updated, usually by
swaret, to the 11.0 current level.

Would anyone have some suggestions as to where to look?

Shawn
