I need .amr format in sound recorder

[andrew.46]

Perhaps use checkinstall in the final step to integrate the final sox package into the Ubuntu package management system?

Hi Andrew


to replace sudo make install ?

can you explain a bit more please? I have seen this before but do not quite understand how it differs



ha ok i kind of understand but still why is it better?


for this reason?

Usage

Instead of
sudo make install

you will use
sudo checkinstall

When called with no arguments, checkinstall will call "make install". If you need other arguments, they can be supplied:
sudo checkinstall make install_package

The installed package can then also easily be removed via Synaptic or via the terminal:

sudo dpkg -r packagename

[andrew.46]

Checkinstall is the 'budget' way of creating a debian package, it is a little limited but perfect for packages for use on your own machine. It allows for clean removal as well as automatic updating from the Ubuntu Repositories. When you investigate the options it becomes a very, very useful tool when compiling.
