|

<H1>libsndfile and pkg-config</H1>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
From version 1.0.0 libsndfile has had the ability to read and write files of
|
||||
greater than 2 Gig in size on most OSes even if sizeof (long) == 4.
|
||||
OSes which support this feature include Linux (2.4 kernel, glibc6) on x86, PPC and
|
||||
probably others, Win32, MacOSX, *BSD, Solaris and probably others.
|
||||
OSes on 64 bit processors where the default compile environment is LP64 (longs and
|
||||
pointers are 64 bit ie Linux on DEC/Compaq/HP Alpha processors) automatically
|
||||
support large file access.
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
Other OSes including Linux on 32 bit processors, 32 bit Solaris and others require
|
||||
special compiler flags to add large file support.
|
||||
This applies to both the compilation of the library itself and the compilation of
|
||||
programs which link to the library.
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
Note : People using Win32, MacOS (both OSX and pre-OSX) or *BSD can disregard the
|
||||
rest of this document as it does not apply to either of these OSes.
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
The <B>pkg-config</B> program makes finding the correct compiler flag values and
|
||||
library location far easier.
|
||||
During the installation of libsndfile, a file named <B>sndfile.pc</B> is installed
|
||||
in the directory <B>${libdir}/pkgconfig</B> (ie if libsndfile is installed in
|
||||
<B>/usr/local/lib</B>, <B>sndfile.pc</B> will be installed in
|
||||
<B>/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/</B>).
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
In order for pkg-config to find sndfile.pc it may be necessary to point the
|
||||
environment variable <B>PKG_CONFIG_PATH</B> in the right direction.
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<PRE>
|
||||
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
|
||||
</PRE>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
Then, to compile a C file into an object file, the command would be:
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<PRE>
|
||||
gcc `pkg-config --cflags sndfile` -c somefile.c
|
||||
</PRE>
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
and to link a number of objects into an executable that links against libsndfile,
|
||||
the command would be:
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<PRE>
|
||||
gcc `pkg-config --libs sndfile` obj1.o obj2.o -o program
|
||||
</PRE>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
Obviously all this can be rolled into a Makefile for easier maintenance.

||||
