<P>The file <CODE>ksidplayer-0.52.tar.gz</CODE> contains everything that you need to
play back SID tunes.
In order to successfully compile KSidplayer, you will need sidplay,
which is part of the KSidplayer distribution in the subdirectory
<CODE>sidplay-13625</CODE>.
The latest version of sidplay can be downloaded from the homepage of Michael
Schwendt at
<A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lakes/5147/">http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lakes/5147/</A>.

<P>The steps needed to install and configure KSidplayer are:
<P>
<OL>
<LI>First unpack the tar file <CODE>ksidplayer-0.52.tar.gz</CODE> somewhere.
This will create the directory <CODE>ksidplayer-0.52</CODE>. It doesn't matter
where you unpack this file: just don't move things around within the
<CODE>ksidplayer-0.52</CODE> directory.
</LI>
<LI>Enter the directory <CODE>sidplay-13625</CODE>, contained in the directory
<CODE>ksidplayer-0.52</CODE>. For the moment, the installation of sidplay
is NOT integrated in the installation process of KSidplayer, so you will
have to install it separately for the moment.
</LI>
<LI>Check the <CODE>INSTALL</CODE> file of Sidplay on how to compile and
install it. Normally the following command sequence should
do it.
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
% ./configure
% make
% make install
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
Be sure to check back the <CODE>INSTALL</CODE> file, if
you run into problems. Send bug reports to Micheal Schwendt
<A HREF="mailto:sidplay@geocities.com">sidplay@geocities.com</A>,
as he is the author of sidplay and should be able to help you.
</LI>
<LI>Check the <CODE>INSTALL</CODE> file of KSidplayer on how to compile and
install it. KSidplayer automatically checks for the position of the
header, include and library files of sidplay, so KSidplayer should
compile out of the box once libsidplay is installed.
In order to compile and install KSidplayer, typing the following in the base
directory of the KSidplayer distribution usually works:
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
% ./configure
% make
% make install
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
</LI>
</OL>
<P>Should you run into problems please report them to <CODE>Maik Röder</CODE>
