<h2 class="chapter">1 Installation and files</h2>
<h3 class="section">1.1 Installation</h3>
<p>Some UNIX variants allready have Open Cubic Player in their packaging systems.
If not, you are going to need to download the source and extract it.
<blockquote>
wget http://stian.lunafish.org/ocp/ocp-0.1.20.tar.bz2
tar xfz ocp-0.1.20.tar.bz2
</blockquote>
<p>Please make sure that you have development-packages of the following libraries
installed:
<p>libmad
libsidplay 1.x
libvorbis / libogg
ncurses
Xlib
libXpm
<p>To compile and install do the following
<blockquote>
cd ocp-0.1.20
./configure && make install
</blockquote>
<p>If configure complains about any-missing headers/libraries, please consule the
list above needed libraries.
<h3 class="section">1.2 Files</h3>
<p>When OCP loads a module the information stored inside the file is read and
stored in a special file( the <em>module information cache</em>.) Actually the
cache splits up into three files:
<ul>
<li>CPARCHS.DAT Information about archives and files stored inside
<li>CONDZTAG.DAT Paths to <samp><span class="file">.MDZ</span></samp> files (see appendix See <a href="mdz.html#mdz">mdz</a>.)
<li>CPMODNFO.DAT Informations about various modules
</ul>
If you delete these files all file information gathered is permanently lost.
<p>The <samp><span class="file">doc</span></samp> directory contains documentation files in various formats
and release notes etc. You can safely delete this directory if you are running
out of disk space.
<h3 class="section">1.3 OCP and ALSA (linux)</h3>
<p>OCP doesn't support ALSA directly, since OCP is written for OSS which is
cross-platform. Please load <samp><span class="file">snd-pcm-oss</span></samp> and <samp><span class="file">snd-mixer-oss</span></samp>, to
provide a legacy OSS interface from ALSA.
