The tests/ directory contains programs which link against libsndfile and test its functionality. 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.

LINUX ----- Whereever possible, you should use the packages supplied by your Linux distribution. If you really do need to compile from source it should be as easy as: ./configure make make install Since libsndfile optionally links against libFLAC, libogg and libvorbis, you will need to install appropriate versions of these libraries before running configure as above. UNIX ---- Compile as for Linux. Win32/Win64 ----------- The default Windows compilers are nowhere near compliant with the 1999 ISO C Standard and hence not able to compile libsndfile. Please use the libsndfile binaries available on the libsndfile web site. MacOSX ------ Building on MacOSX should be the same as building it on any other Unix.
