I'm looking to build LinuxSampler for the first time. The documentations says to replace a line with my "preferred optimization flags." How do I find out what optimization tags I need for my computer?

Here's the section from the documentation: http://www.linuxsampler.org/debian.html#build_backend

Remove the arguments --host and --build which are only meant for cross compilation and prefix the line with your preferred optimization flags. So, for a Pentium4 machine it could look like:

Code: Select all

CXXFLAGS="-O3 -msse -march=pentium4 -mfpmath=sse -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops" ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=\$${prefix}/share/man --infodir=\$${prefix}/share/info

After further searching I discovered that there are some instructions for testing different optimization tags later in the documentation: http://www.linuxsampler.org/debian.html#benchmark. It would be helpful to link to this next section or at least reference it when the documentation first instructs the user to add optimization tags.

So I went ahead and jumped to benchmarks section of the documentation. However typing "make" as instructed just gave the following error: the "linuxsampler-1.0.0" directory contains "config.guess", "config.h.in", "config.sub", "configure", and "configure.in" but no "config.h".
