1This is libsndfile, 1.1.0 2 3libsndfile is a library of C routines for reading and writing 4files containing sampled audio data. 5 6The src/ directory contains the source code for library itself. 7 8The doc/ directory contains the libsndfile documentation. 9 10The examples/ directory contains examples of how to write code using 11libsndfile. 12 13The tests/ directory contains programs which link against libsndfile 14and test its functionality. 15 16The src/GSM610 directory contains code written by Jutta Degener and Carsten 17Bormann. Their original code can be found at : 18 http://kbs.cs.tu-berlin.de/~jutta/toast.html 19 20The src/G72x directory contains code written and released by Sun Microsystems 21under a suitably free license. 22 23The src/ALAC directory contains code written and released by Apple Inc and 24released under the Apache license. 25 26 27LINUX 28----- 29Whereever possible, you should use the packages supplied by your Linux 30distribution. 31 32If you really do need to compile from source it should be as easy as: 33 34 ./configure 35 make 36 make install 37 38Since libsndfile optionally links against libFLAC, libogg, libvorbis and 39libopus, you will need to install appropriate versions of these libraries 40before running configure as above. 41 42You can use CMake now to build under Linux, also under Windows and MacOS, see 43README.md for details. CMake toolchain is usable, but still exterimental. 44 45 46UNIX 47---- 48Compile as for Linux. 49 50 51Win32/Win64 52----------- 53 54Official Windows binaries are compiled with Autotools and MinGW, but you can use 55CMake to generate solution for Visual Studio. Details are described in 56README.md. 57 58It is still recommended to use the libsndfile binaries available on the 59libsndfile web site. 60 61MacOSX 62------ 63Building on MacOSX should be the same as building it on any other Unix. 64 65 66CONTACTS 67-------- 68 69libsndfile was written by Erik de Castro Lopo (erikd AT mega-nerd DOT com). 70The libsndfile home page is at : 71 72 http://libsndfile.github.io/libsndfile/ 73 74Bugs and support questions can be raised at : 75 76 https://github.com/libsndfile/libsndfile/issues 77
