+/*! \page compiling Debugging & Compiling
+
+\section debug Debugging
+
+If you are having problems getting RtAudio to run on your system, make sure to pass a value of \e true to the RtAudio::showWarnings() function (this is the default setting). A variety of warning messages will be displayed which may help in determining the problem. Also, try using the programs included in the <tt>tests</tt> directory. The program <tt>probe</tt> displays the queried capabilities of all hardware devices found for all APIs compiled. When using the ALSA API, further information can be displayed by defining the preprocessor definition __RTAUDIO_DEBUG__.
+
+\section compile Compiling
+
+In order to compile RtAudio for a specific OS and audio API, it is necessary to supply the appropriate preprocessor definition and library within the compiler statement:
