FLAC (http://flac.sourceforge.net/) is an Open Source lossless audio
codec developed by Josh Coalson.
FLAC is comprised of 1) `libFLAC', a library which implements
reference encoders and decoders, licensed under the GNU Lesser
2001-06-18 02:34:09 +00:00
General Public License (LGPL); 2) `flac', a command-line program for
encoding and decoding files, licensed under the GNU General public
License (GPL); 3) `metaflac', a command-line program for editing
FLAC metadata, licensed under the GPL; 4) player plugins for XMMS
and Winamp, licensed under the GPL; and 5) documentation, licensed
under the GNU Free Documentation License.

FLAC - 1.0

This is the source release for the FLAC project. See

doc/index.html
for full documentation.

Building in a GNU environment
=============================
2001-01-19 22:37:36 +00:00
FLAC now uses autoconf and libtool for configuring and
building. Better documentation for these will be
forthcoming, but in general, this should work:
2000-12-10 04:09:52 +00:00
2001-01-19 22:37:36 +00:00
./configure ; make ; make install
2000-12-22 22:42:25 +00:00
2001-05-29 18:48:42 +00:00
To disable all assembly optimizations, pass the
--disable-asm-optimizations flag to configure.

==================
Building with MSVC
==================
There is no overall make system for MSVC but the individual
source directories with a 'Makefile.vc' file in them allow
2001-05-29 18:48:42 +00:00
building with MSVC. Just 'nmake /f Makefile.vc'. Currently
the Makefile.vc for libFLAC is hardcoded to use nasm. If
you don't have nasm, or don't want any assembly optimizations,
edit the makefile, adding '/D FLAC__NO_ASM' and delete the
rules which compile the .s files.
