How to "install" libportaudio.sa

[jorxster]

Hi fellow Ubuntu devs,

I have a bit of a newb question --
I have a Python module called "pyaudio" which is meant to wrap "portaudio".
Now, "apt-get install portaudio" is not sufficient for me, I had to build portaudio in order to have ALSA support.

So I did configure && make. Now what?
Documentation doesn't tell me how to "install" it at the operating system level. How do I replace the installed 'portaudio19-dev' package with my newly compiled binaries?

cheers,
Jordan

A little more background.
PyAudio is dependent on PortAudio:

Python 3.6.8 |Anaconda, Inc.| (default, Dec 30 2018, 01:22:34)
[GCC 7.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pyaudio
>>> pyaudio
<module 'pyaudio' from '/home/jorxster/anaconda3/envs/tf-gpu/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pyaudio.py'>


which uses a cpython so of portaudio:
>>> import _portaudio
>>> _portaudio
<module '_portaudio' from '/home/jorxster/anaconda3/envs/tf-gpu/lib/python3.6/site-packages/_portaudio.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so'>

This _portaudio cpython file has nothing to do with the portaudio I have compiled separately with ALSA support. But how do I get my compiled binaries to replace my system portaudio?

Hello,

if the previous commands you issued were successful and gave no errors, then
sudo make install
should work.

Regards!
