I'm currently having some issues whenever I use MSVC to build a Csound
host application. The apps builds fine but on startup I get an error
about libFLAC-8.dll? I'm pulling my hair out on this one. I've tried
searching online for mention of libFLAC-8.dll but there is little
information available on it. My problems seemed to have stemmed from
an uninstall of Pd. I thought perhaps it might have been some dlls
that were uninstalled which Csound needed, but I reinstalled Csound so
whatever dlls that might have been accidentally removed by Pd should
now be back in place. I know the Pd installer gives a warning about
replacing dlls, I don't get this warning from the Csound installer. So
does the windows installer auto-overwrite dlls, or does it not install
them if it finds they are already there?

I think this might be a libsndfile dependency.

Yeah I ran it there with dependency walker and it seems that it is
something to do with libsndfile. What's confusing is I just checked on
some other Csound machines and none of them have flac-8.dll at all.
Why does my libsndfile, which is the one that ships with Csound need
libfalc-8.dll. Perhaps Michael can help me on this one. Alternatively
I'll try to install a different version of Csound, create a new import
lib and try that one.

Well libFLAC is there to add flac support for libsndfile and it is probably either a newer version of libsndfile or one that Michael has prepared himself.

No luck there. It's think it probably to do with how Mike builds
Csound. I'll try purging my version of Csound, reinstalling the
latest, rebuliding the import lib and trying again. I really hope it
works as I can't move on with nay of my projects until I can get it
sorted!

I just downloaded the latest windows release. Created a new import lib
from the csound64.dll.5.2 binary but the problem persists, libFLAC-8
not found. Btw, I did try that link you sent but I get an error about
that dll not being a valid windows file. I did find a libflac.dll,
tried dumping that into system32 but that led to a host of other
problems.

Balls.

Looks like my only option is to build Csound for windows myself. Be
expecting some extra traffic on the list...

Windows is not my thing but this does sound like libsndfile issue; have
you d./loaded latest binary from Erik's site?

And now Csound won't build because it can't find libsndfile even
though I have the correct path in my custom.py file. It's all coming
back to me know. This is the reason I stopped building Csound myself.
I just checked the Csound archives because I was sure I had this issue
before. The final post in the thread was from me saying I finally got
it to build, but he's the kicker, I also mention in that post that I
have no idea why it suddenly started building! Arggh!

Hi John. Yeah, I have the latest libsndfile's installed. Still I get
the same issue.

Ok, sorted it without having to resort to building windows myself. I
just replaced all instances of libsndfile on my PC with the one found
in the windows installer. Everything back to normal. Play has
resumed...

Just catching up on mail.

The libsndfile windows binary on my website contains the FLAC and Ogg/Vorbis
libraries compiled into the binary. If you get libsndfile somewhere else
this may not be the case.
