To build the library:

bitbake libogg

Which executables do you want to build?

You can review the OpenEmbedded documentation here:

I'll check this today, thanks.

I am after oggenc and oggdec binaries, where I could use them 
compressing audio I have recorded with gumstix. (So this was actual and 
more precise question: where to find or how to build oggenc and oggdec, 
among other tools which I might need).

Btw; How come overo has aplay and arec, but my verdex-pro has not? (I 
use arecord to capture audio in wav and oggenc to compress it).

Thanks, I'll check documentation.

I believe you want to 'bitbake vorbis-tools' -- BTW that should build
libogg as a dependency so you will only need to do this one step.

If aplay/arec aren't in your verdex image you can install them:

ipkg update
ipkg instal alsa-utils-aplay

Of course I meant:

ipkg install alsa-utils-aplay

Hi,

Refering your "problems building oe" discussion, I can share same sort 
of experience, where my bitbaking is not succeeding either.

My bitbake command:  bitbake -v vorbis-tools

Gives following output, stucking in there:

---CUT---

Networking is working, but somehow everything get stuck in here? Any clues?

The mvista git server seems to be slow. I started a git clone last
night and after 10 hours it's still counting objects. This normally
takes less than 30 seconds.

See Steve's email from last night:
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.gumstix.general/41473/focus=41478>

The link right near the end of the email has a tarball and md5 file
you can copy into your sources tree, and the bitbake will then proceed
past that.
