To compile everything you need:
   automake (1.4)
   aclocal (1.4, comes with automake)
   autoconf (2.13)
   libtool 
   make (GNU)
   cvs (1.10)
   doc++ (3.3.11)
   perl 5
   m4
   an ANSI C++ compiler (a recent aCC, g++ 2.8 or higher, egcs 1.1.2 or higher)


How to compile:

% ./configure <options>
% make
% make install

NOTE: if you are using a CVS tarball, use ./autogen.sh insteand of ./configure


notes about configure
One some HP's, you should use aCC instead of the default g++
you need to set the environment variables CXX and CC

On csh:
% setenv CXX aCC
% setenv CC cc
% ./configure <options>

On sh/ksh
% CXX=aCC CC=cc ./configure <options>

To have a list of all configure options type ./configure --help
The important options are:
--prefix=install-path=/path/where/to/install
--with-fftw-dir=/path/to/fftw
--with-libtool-acc-kludge     (you MUST use this options ONLY if you are 
                               using HP's aCC as the C++ compiler)

If you plan to use the audio modules, then only shared libraries will work 
(because the program makes use of dynamically loaded "plugins"). 
To do that, add:
--enable-shared --disable-static

note: in the case of the --with-xxx-dir=path options, configure looks for 
libxxx in path/lib and includes in path/include

Here is a example:
CXX=aCC CC=cc ./configure --enable-shared --disable-static --prefix=/home/jmvalin/net-install --with-fftw-dir=/opt --with-libtool-acc-kludge
