This is libsndfile, 1.0.16
libsndfile is a library of C routines for reading and writing
files containing sampled audio data.
The src/ directory contains the source code for library itself.
The doc/ directory contains the libsndfile documentation.
The examples/ directory contains examples of how to write code using
libsndfile. '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
