Compilation and installation of LibAiff on UNIX systems The default prefix for LIBAIFF installation is `/usr/local'. Prefix means that libraries will be installed on the lib/ subdirectory, includes on the include/ subdirectory and so on. You can chose a different prefix with the `--prefix' option of the configuration script. Use `./configure --help' for more details. In the following examples, `%' means the shell prompt for a normal system user, and `#' means the shell prompt for a privileged user capable of writing to the selected prefix. % ./configure After autoconfiguration is completed, it is recommended to manually inspect the Makefile to review the compilation options. For example, some optimized routines are available for PowerPC. % make # make install LibAiff will be installed as a `static library'. 1.1. Installating the documentation While the default installation script does not do so, it is advisable to copy the provided documentation to a system-wide directory such as share/doc/libaiff/: # cp MANUAL* /usr/local/share/doc/libaiff/ 2. Compilation of LibAiff with Microsoft Visual C To compile LibAiff you need to provide a <libaiff/config.h> file. LibAiff provides an example <libaiff/config.vc.h> file that you can simply rename to <libaiff/config.h> in order to compile LibAiff with Visual C. 3. Using the library Please refer to the provided documentation, available in different formats: MANUAL: ASCII text/plain version MANUAL.html: HTML text/html UTF-8 version 4. Reporting bugs, submitting patches, etc. Current LibAiff mantainer: <marcotrillo@gmail.com>
