'wav32_aiff24' converts a WAV file containing 32 bit floating +point data into a 24 bit PCM AIFF file. 'sndfile2oct' dumps the audio +data of a file in a human readable format. 'sfconvert' is the beginnings +of a audio file format conversion utility. 'make_sine' generates a WAV +file containing one cycle of a sine wave with 4096 sample points in +32 bit floating point format. 'sfinfo' opens a sound file and prints +out information about that file. + +The tests/ directory contains programs which link against libsndfile +and test its functionality. + +The Win32/ directory contains files and documentation to allow libsndfile +to compile under Win32 with the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler. + +The src/GSM610 directory contains code written by Jutta Degener and Carsten +Bormann. Their original code can be found at : + http://kbs.cs.tu-berlin.de/~jutta/toast.html + +The src/G72x directory contains code written and released by Sun Microsystems +under a suitably free license. + + +Win32 +----- +There are detailed instructions for building libsndfile on Win32 in the file + + doc/win32.html + + +MacOSX +------ +Building on MacOSX should be the same as building it on any other Unix. + + +OTHER PLATFORMS +--------------- +To compile libsndfile on platforms which have a Bourne Shell compatible +shell, an ANSI C compiler and a make utility should require no more that +the following three commands : + ./configure + make + make install + +For platforms without the required shell, it is usually sufficient to +create an approriate config.h file in the src/ directory with correct +values for the following #defines (this would work for AmigaOS) : + +#define HAVE_ENDIAN_H 0 +#define GUESS_BIG_ENDIAN 1 +#define GUESS_LITTLE_ENDIAN 0 +#define FORCE_BROKEN_FLOAT 0 + + +CONTACTS +-------- + +libsndfile was written by Erik de Castro Lopo (erikd AT mega-nerd DOT com). +The libsndfile home page is at : + + http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/ + |
