1 Notes on Using the Pre-compiled libsndfile DLL.
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

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 :
