	how do i compile csound using msvc? im using scons but when it gets to libsndfile is complains: Checking for C library sndfile... no The sndfile library is required to build Csound5 i have the libsndfile installed using the libsndfile binary installer exe provided off there website. what am i doing wrong? i dont wish to use mingw as my project is getting large now.

	Not all of the code in Csound CVS will be usable with MSVC. Csound itself will compile and be usable but code that links Standard C+ Library collections or classes based on or using them has trouble generating shared library (DLL) interfaces, last time I checked. That is why MinGW (GCC) is used to build the Csound distribution for Windows instead of MSVC (I have both). Look at the build-msvc-debug.bat file for how to use MSVC to build Csound. Use this and custom-msvc.py, or copy these files and modify them. The custom-msvc.py file is designed to contain paths to third party header files and libraries such as sndfile.h and it is designed to be edited by the user.

	You'll have to create import libraries for the DLLs, using the Microsoft lib program. This explains how, there may other explanations elsewhere: http://wyw.dcweb.cn/dllfaq.htm You won't be able to link MSVC executables with MinGW static libraries (.a files). Regarding C++, you can use csound.hpp and the Csound class, but you will not be able to use CsoundAC or the CppSound class since these link to MinGW C++ objects that are in a different binary format than MSVC. The csound.hpp file and Csound class should work because it is a header file only library and the MSVC compiler will generate the C++ code for you. The regular Csound DLL is the library for csound.hpp. For what it's worth, the Twilight Dragon Media build of MinGW is more or less as good as MSVC in terms of implementing C++, and you can use CodeBlocks with it if you prefer to use an integrated development environment.

	Found my answer on another page: thanks all. The following assumes double-precision Csound, and that you only need the C API, not the C++ API. I have verified that this works and in fact I have attached the resulting import lib. 1. First of all, the csound.def file should already be there from the Windows installer (in the bin directory). But if it's not, use the MinGW pexports program (which you can download and run separately) to inspect the csound64.dll.5.1 file and pipe the names of the exported functions to csound64.def: pexports csound64.dll.5.1 > csound64.def You could also use the MSVC dumpbin program: dumpbin /exports cound64.dll.5.1 > csound64.def but you would have to edit the csound64.def file to get of unnecessary stuff. All you need is the names of the API functions, one per line. I'm not sure if you need the LIBRARY header, but if you do, add the following line to the top of the csound64.def file: LIBRARY csound64.dll.5.1 2. Use the MSVC lib program to create an import library from the csound64.def file: lib /def:csound64.def This will produce csound64.lib. This implements the C API and part of the C++ API (the part in csound.hpp). If you need the complete C++ API, repeat the above procedure with csnd.dll and perhaps CsoundAC.dll.

	am i right that theres problems converting the csnd.dll to a library using the instructions in my last post in the .def file as some of the function names are mangled and some are not? guess ill have to use mingw. gafferuk wrote: > > Found my answer on another page: > thanks all. > > > The following assumes double-precision Csound, and that you only need the > C > API, not the C++ API.

	You cannot do csnd with MSVC, for reasons I explained before -- GNU C++ and MSVC++ are binary incompatible. But you can use csound.hpp and the Csound class, which are not in csnd.
