[CELT-dev] Getting CELT to work under Windows

[George de Vries]

Hi I can confirm that the latest release 0.7.1 as per the download page works on windows on both Visual Studio 6 and Visual Studio 2010 with no problems at all.

I have tested both versions using frame_size = 256 and bytes_per_packet = 46 @44.1 khz and there is no evidence of any problems with the audio.

>From memory, setting up a visual studio project is very easy, one simply needs to drag in the source and header files from the libcelt directory into the project and define HAVE_CONFIG_H is the project's pre-processor definition.

The tricky part is to build a config.h file.  To get it to work on VS some of the important settings include.
 
#define CELT_BUILD
#define USE_ALLOCA

#undef VAR_ARRAYS
#undef restrict
#undef HAVE_STDINT_H
#undef inline

#define inline __inline
#define restrict

#undef HAVE_LRINT
#undef HAVE_LRINTF

I have also tested the windows version compiled as fixed point, again without any problems.

I can supply a config.h and project file on request.  black_190 on the domain hotmail.com.

Hi,

I suggest you try running the test cases in tests/ to see which 
component you may be having problems with. Also, make sure that you 
define HAVE_CONFIG_H and that your config.h file includes the following 
(that's my guess since I don't have a Windows dev environment):

#define CELT_BUILD
#define USE_ALLOCA
#define inline __inline
#define restrict

I know there's a bunch of people using CELT successfully on Windows, so 
I suspect there may just be something wrong with your environment.

Cheers,

	Jean-Marc
