cannam@125: Notes on Using the Pre-compiled libsndfile DLL.
cannam@125: ===============================================
cannam@125: 
cannam@125: In order to use this pre-compiled DLL with Visual Studio, you will need to
cannam@125: generate a .LIB file from the DLL.
cannam@125: 
cannam@125: This can be achieved as follows:
cannam@125: 
cannam@125:   1) In a CMD window, change to the directory containing this file and
cannam@125:      run the command:
cannam@125: 
cannam@125:           lib /machine:i386 /def:libsndfile-1.def
cannam@125: 
cannam@125: You now have two files:
cannam@125: 
cannam@125:         libsndfile-1.dll
cannam@125:         libsndfile-1.lib
cannam@125: 
cannam@125: to be used with VisualStudio.
cannam@125: 
cannam@125: If the lib command fails with a command saying "'lib' is not recognized as
cannam@125: an internal or external command, operable program or batch file", you need
cannam@125: to find the location of "lib.exe" and add that directory to your PATH
cannam@125: environment variable. Another alternative is to use the "Visual Studio 2005
cannam@125: Command Prompt" Start menu item:
cannam@125: 
cannam@125:    Start ->
cannam@125:    		All Programs ->
cannam@125: 			Visual Studio 2005 ->
cannam@125: 				Visual Studio Tools ->
cannam@125: 					Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt
cannam@125: 
cannam@125: If for some reason these instructions don't work for you or you are still
cannam@125: not able to use the libsndfile DLL with you project, please do not contact
cannam@125: the main author of libsndfile. Instead, join the libsndfile-users mailing
cannam@125: list :
