1Notes on Using the Pre-compiled libsndfile DLL. 2=============================================== 3 4In order to use this pre-compiled DLL with Visual Studio, you will need to 5generate a .LIB file from the DLL. 6 7This 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 14You now have two files: 15 16 libsndfile-1.dll 17 libsndfile-1.lib 18 19to be used with VisualStudio. 20 21If the lib command fails with a command saying "'lib' is not recognized as 22an internal or external command, operable program or batch file", you need 23to find the location of "lib.exe" and add that directory to your PATH 24environment variable. Another alternative is to use the "Visual Studio 2005 25Command 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 33If for some reason these instructions don't work for you or you are still 34not able to use the libsndfile DLL with you project, please do not contact 35the main author of libsndfile. Instead, join the libsndfile-users mailing 36list : 37 38 http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/lists.html 39 40and ask a question there. 41
