Hi all, I've been struggling for several weeks to get Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 to build FLAC. MinGW worked fine, but the resulting binary didn't support Cyrillic or Greek characters, so I thought MSVC might cut it.
Anyway, I'm not a very good programmer, but I got it working. Probably it's of use to tell what I did 1) Compile ogg and get the library and include tree in the FLAC directory tree (that's in the README) 2) Install NASM (that's in the README too) 3) Install a platform SDK (I chose the one for XP SP2) 4) Set MSVC target to Release 5) Add alloc.h to the grabbag_static source files 6) Replace all occurrences of static inline with static __inline 7) Tell the linker to ignore msvcrt.lib 8) Replace all occurrences of %" PRIu64 " with %I64u (I'm not sure whether that is correct) 9) Uninline all (non-static) inlined function in bitreader.c and bitwriter.c (otherwise the linker complains) As I said, I'm not a very good programmer so I'm not sure whether any of the above changes might induce other problems. Anyway, the resulting flac binary doesn't accept Cyrillic or Greek either (just like the flac 1.2.1 release), so I guess it's not compiler related. Anyway, I'll stick with MinGW in the future :) _______________________________________________ flac-dev mailing list flac-dev@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev
