You will need at least one of these to compile MPD.
Most of these are available as packages on major distributions. Be sure to
install both the library package as well as the development package.
AO - http://www.xiph.org/ao/
A portable library that abstracts many audio output types as one API. Should
be used only if there is no native plugin available or if the native plugin
doesn't work. You will need libao.

pkg-config
----------
MPD uses pkg-config to locate most external libraries. If you do not
have pkg-config, or if your version of the library does not ship the
".pc" file, you have to provide the library's build options in
environment variables. These variables are documented in "./configure
--help". Example:
FLAC_CFLAGS=-I/usr/include/FLAC FLAC_LIBS=-lFLAC ./configure
Download
--------
Get the latest release from of MPD from <http://www.musicpd.org/>.
Compile
-------
1) unpack the archive
$ tar xf mpd-x.x.x.tar.xz
2) change to directory created
$ cd mpd-x.x.x
3) Run configure script (this will determine what dependencies you have)
$ ./configure
4) Compile
$ make
Install (Optional)
-------
(as root)
$ make install
Run
---
1) run mpd:
$ mpd <config file>
First default is $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mpd/mpd.conf then ~/.mpdconf then
~/.mpd/mpd.conf then /etc/mpd.conf. If neither of these exist a mpd
configuration file must be specified at runtime.
A sample config file is included with the source of MPD, mpdconf.example.
The first time MPD is run it will attempt to discover all music in your
music root, recursively. This can be affected by the symbolic link
options specified in the example mpd.conf.
Using MPD
---------
You can download many different interfaces for MPD at
