| 18 <P> | |
| 19 Before even attempting to report a bug in libsndfile please make sure you have | |
| 20 read the | |
| 21 <A HREF="FAQ.html">Frequently Asked Questions</A>. | |
| 22 If you are having a problem writing code using libsndfile make sure you read | |
| 23 the | |
| 24 <A HREF="api.html">Application Programming Interface</A> | |
| 25 documentation. | |
| 26 </P> | |
| 27 <P> | |
| 28 That said, I am interested in finding and fixing all genuine bugs in libsndfile. | |
| 29 Bugs I want to fix include any of the following problems (and probably others) : | |
| 30 </P> | |
| 31 <UL> | |
| 32 <LI> Compilation problems on new platforms. | |
| 33 <LI> Errors being detected during the `make check' process. | |
| 34 <LI> Segmentation faults occuring inside libsndfile. | |
| 35 <LI> libsndfile hanging when opening a file. | |
| 36 <LI> Supported sound file types being incorrectly read or written. | |
| 37 <LI> Omissions, errors or spelling mistakes in the documentation. | |
| 38 </UL> | |
| 39 | |
| 40 <P> | |
| 41 When submitting a bug report you must include : | |
| 42 </P> | |
| 43 <UL> | |
| 44 <LI> Your system (CPU and memory size should be enough). | |
| 45 <LI> The operating system you are using. | |
| 46 <LI> Whether you are using a package provided by your distribution or you | |
| 47 compiled it youself. | |
| 48 <LI> If you compiled it yourself, the compiler you are using. (Also make | |
| 49 sure to run 'make check'.) | |
| 50 <LI> A description of the problem. | |
| 51 <LI> Information generated by the sndfile-info program (see next paragraph). | |
| 52 <LI> If you are having problems with sndfile-play and ALSA on Linux, I will | |
| 53 need information about your kernel, ALSA version, compiler version, | |
| 54 whether you compiled the kernel/ALSA your self or installed from a | |
| 55 package etc. | |
| 56 </UL> | |
| 57 | |
| 58 <P> | |
| 59 If libsndfile compiles and installs correctly but has difficulty reading a particular | |
| 60 file or type of file you should run the <B>sndfile-info</B> program (from the examples | |
| 61 directory of the libsndfile distribution) on the file. See | |
| 62 <A HREF="sndfile_info.html">here</A> | |
| 63 for an example of the use of the <B>sndfile-info</B> program. | |
| 64 </P> | |
| 65 <P> | |
| 66 Please do not send me a sound file which fails to open under libsndfile unless I | |
| 67 specifically ask you to. The above information should usually suffice for most | |
| 68 problems. | |
| 69 </P> | |
| 70 <P> | |
| 71 Once you have the above information you should email it to one of the | |
| 72 <A HREF="lists.html">mailing lists</a> | |
| 73 (posting to these lists is limited to the list subscribers). | |
