| 2 | =============================================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | In order to use this pre-compiled DLL with Visual Studio, you will need to |
| 5 | generate a .LIB file from the DLL. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | This can be achieved as follows: |
| 8 | |
| 9 | 1) In a CMD window, change to the directory containing this file and |
| 10 | run the command: |
| 11 | |
| 12 | lib /machine:i386 /def:libsndfile-1.def |
| 13 | |
| 14 | You now have two files: |
| 15 | |
| 16 | libsndfile-1.dll |
| 17 | libsndfile-1.lib |
| 18 | |
| 19 | to be used with VisualStudio. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | If the lib command fails with a command saying "'lib' is not recognized as |
| 22 | an internal or external command, operable program or batch file", you need |
| 23 | to find the location of "lib.exe" and add that directory to your PATH |
| 24 | environment variable. Another alternative is to use the "Visual Studio 2005 |
| 25 | Command Prompt" Start menu item: |
| 26 | |
| 27 | Start -> |
| 28 | All Programs -> |
| 29 | Visual Studio 2005 -> |
| 30 | Visual Studio Tools -> |
| 31 | Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt |
| 32 | |
| 33 | If for some reason these instructions don't work for you or you are still |
| 34 | not able to use the libsndfile DLL with you project, please do not contact |
| 35 | the main author of libsndfile. Instead, join the libsndfile-users mailing |
| 36 | list : |
