In Linux, it was cake. I simply ran make, and the OGG libraries were already installed in the right place and everything. I can play OGG files with Alure in Linux no problem.
Now, I am working on the Windows build. I was able to use cmake in MinGW Shell to generate MSYS Makefiles and then build the Alure library. However, I explicitly see messages indicating that I am missing OGG support.

This is expected at first. However, after going off and building the win32 OGG/vorbis libraries, I have no idea where to put them while building Alure. Do the libs/includes need to be in a specific location relative to this folder? Or do I need to specify the location of the OGG library using some flag? (For example, I had to specify the location of libogg when building libvorbis via certain ./configure parameters.) I’m afraid I don’t know enough about cmake or Alure to figure this part out.
Firstly, you can set all OGG-related cmake variables manually in builddir/CMakeCache.txt. You may use CMake GUI app to do it more conviently (they will showed in red).
Another solution – set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to the directory, where your OGG library is installed.
