[vorbis-dev] Ogg Vorbis SDK.

[John Edwards]

Personally, I would set up a dir tree with, say, OggVorbis at the top, then
ogg, vorbis, vorbis-tools and win32-tools beneath that. Don't place the
libs, headers, etc in the MSVC dir.

You should use the latest CVS, that is the preferred state of the libs. If
the dynamic build fails in that way, you probably only need to add the
appropriate function to the '.def' file. These don't always seem to get
updated at the same time!!

You can place the compiled dlls either in the dir of the app that uses them,
or anywhere in the path.

The dir structure described above works fine with both VC6 and VC7.

<p>> Hi, I've started making an Ogg Vorbis SDK, as per IRC topic instructions
:)

the same directory as the document (c:\Program Files\Ogg Vorbis
SDK\(Include|Lib)), and have the sample projects add thoses dirs to the
search path?

then the user would need higher privilages to install it.

these unresolved symbols when building libvorbisfile dynamically:

_vorbis_synthesis_halfrate

that says where it is installed, and where the header/libs go relative to
that.
