Prepare faad2 by running the following commands:
cmake -B build -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
-D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ONcmake --build build
This package does not come with a test suite. However, basic functionality can be tested by decoding the sample AAC file:
cd build ./faad -o sample.wav ../sample.aac
This should display a copyright message and the following information about the sample file:
sample.aac file info:
ADTS, 4.608 sec, 13 kbps, 16000 Hz
---------------------
| Config: 2 Ch |

| Ch | Position |

| 00 | Left front |
| 01 | Right front |

Now play the result (requires the aplay program from the alsa-utils-1.2.14 package):
aplay sample.wav
aplay should identify the file as
Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 16000 Hz, Stereo, and
you should hear some piano notes.
Now Install the package, as the root user:
cmake --install build
