4 Win32 port of audiofile, August 2001, Chris Wolf <cwolf@starclass.com>
5 ===========================================================================
6 This is the win32 port of the audiofile library and utilities.
7 It has only been tested using MSVC v6 on Windows 2000 server, but
8 should build on other win32 platforms as long as MCVC v6 is used.
12 Before running either the command-line build, or IDE build, run the
13 script "prebuild.bat". This will create the required working directories.
16 The libraries and executables may be built by invoking "build_all.bat".
18 Note that the makefiles are generated from the IDE, and are thus a
19 reflection of the workspace and project file states. It is strongly
20 recommended to make changes via the IDE and export the makefiles,
21 rather than tweaking the makefiles directly.
24 Load the "all.dsw" workspace. This workspace loads and manages the
25 the dependent project files. To perform a build, from the "build"
26 menu, select the "build" menu item.
31 Debug and release versions of both the static and dynamic (DLL) libraries
32 will be created in the win32/lib directory.
34 The debug and release versions of the statically and dynamically linked
35 versions of the executables will be created in the following directories:
42 N.B. In order to execute the dynamically linked executables, the
43 corresponding DLL's must be in the PATH. There are two options:
45 1.) put the fully qualified path of "win32/lib" in the PATH.
47 2.) copy "audiofile.dll" and/or "audiofileD.dll" to a directory
48 which is already in the PATH.
51 LIBRARY NAMING CONVENTIONS
53 There is an ambiguity with Microsoft's naming convention; a file with
54 a "*.lib" extension could either be a static library, or a DLL export
55 library, therefore the following naming convention is adopted to resolve
58 Static Library: libBASENAME.lib e.g. libaudiofile.lib
59 DLL export Library: BASENAME.lib e.g. audiofile.lib
61 In addition, appending "D" to the basename denotes a debug version of
62 the library. e.g. libaudiofileD.lib, audiofileD.dll
64 The module definition file (audiofile.def) does not explicitly name
65 the library, in order for the linker to set the name based on the
