cannam@125: Before even attempting to report a bug in libsndfile please make sure you have
cannam@125: read the
cannam@125: Frequently Asked Questions.
cannam@125: If you are having a problem writing code using libsndfile make sure you read
cannam@125: the
cannam@125: Application Programming Interface
cannam@125: documentation.
cannam@125:
cannam@125:
cannam@125: That said, I am interested in finding and fixing all genuine bugs in libsndfile.
cannam@125: Bugs I want to fix include any of the following problems (and probably others) :
cannam@125:
cannam@125:
cannam@125:
Compilation problems on new platforms.
cannam@125:
Errors being detected during the `make check' process.
cannam@125:
libsndfile hanging when opening a file.
cannam@125:
Supported sound file types being incorrectly read or written.
cannam@125:
Omissions, errors or spelling mistakes in the documentation.
cannam@125:
cannam@125:
cannam@125:
cannam@125: When submitting a bug report you must include :
cannam@125:
cannam@125:
cannam@125:
Your system (CPU and memory size should be enough).
cannam@125:
The operating system you are using.
cannam@125:
Whether you are using a package provided by your distribution or you
cannam@125: compiled it youself.
cannam@125:
If you compiled it yourself, the compiler you are using. (Also make
cannam@125: sure to run 'make check'.)
cannam@125:
A description of the problem.
cannam@125:
Information generated by the sndfile-info program (see next paragraph).
cannam@125:
If you are having problems with sndfile-play and ALSA on Linux, I will
cannam@125: need information about your kernel, ALSA version, compiler version,
cannam@125: whether you compiled the kernel/ALSA your self or installed from a
cannam@125: package etc.
cannam@125:
cannam@125:
cannam@125:
cannam@125: If libsndfile compiles and installs correctly but has difficulty reading a particular
cannam@125: file or type of file you should run the sndfile-info program (from the examples
cannam@125: directory of the libsndfile distribution) on the file. See
cannam@125: here
cannam@125: for an example of the use of the sndfile-info program.
cannam@125:
cannam@125:
cannam@125: Please do not send me a sound file which fails to open under libsndfile unless I
cannam@125: specifically ask you to. The above information should usually suffice for most
cannam@125: problems.
cannam@125:
cannam@125:
cannam@125: Once you have the above information you should submit a ticket on the libsnfile
cannam@125: github issue tracker.
