| Notes on Using the Pre-compiled libsndfile DLL. |
| =============================================== |
| |
| In order to use this pre-compiled DLL with Visual Studio, you will need to |
| generate a .LIB file from the DLL. |
| |
| This can be achieved as follows: |
| |
| 1) In a CMD window, change to the directory containing this file and |
| run the command: |
| |
| lib /machine:i386 /def:libsndfile-1.def |
| |
| You now have two files: |
| |
| libsndfile-1.dll |
| libsndfile-1.lib |
| |
| to be used with VisualStudio. |
| |
| If the lib command fails with a command saying "'lib' is not recognized as |
| an internal or external command, operable program or batch file", you need |
| to find the location of "lib.exe" and add that directory to your PATH |
| environment variable. Another alternative is to use the "Visual Studio 2005 |
| Command Prompt" Start menu item: |
| |
| Start -> |
| All Programs -> |
| Visual Studio 2005 -> |
| Visual Studio Tools -> |
| Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt |
| |
| If for some reason these instructions don't work for you or you are still |
| not able to use the libsndfile DLL with you project, please do not contact |
| the main author of libsndfile. Instead, join the libsndfile-users mailing |
