- Introduction
libFLAC has grown larger over time as more functionality has been
included, but much of it may be unnecessary for a particular embedded
implementation. Unused parts may be pruned by some simple editing of
-configure.in and src/libFLAC/Makefile.am; the following dependency

graph shows which modules may be pruned without breaking things
further down:
Use these if you have these packages but configure can't find them.
If you want to build completely from scratch (i.e. starting with just
-configure.in and Makefile.am) you should be able to just run 'autogen.sh'

Building with MSVC
===============================================================================

-projects and a master FLAC.sln solution to build all the libraries and
-executables with VC++ 2005.

later.

-MSVC6:
-To build everything, run Developer Studio, do File|Open Workspace,
-and open FLAC.dsw. Select "Build | Set active configuration..."
-from the menu, then in the dialog, select "All - Win32 Release" (or
-Debug if you prefer). Click "Ok" then hit F7 to build.

VC++ 2005:
To build everything, run Visual Studio, do File|Open and open FLAC.sln.
From the dropdown in the toolbar, select "Release" instead of "Debug",
then hit F7 to build.
-Either way, this will build all libraries both statically (e.g.
-obj\release\lib\libFLAC_static.lib) and as DLLs (e.g.
-obj\release\lib\libFLAC.dll), and it will build all binaries, statically
-linked (e.g. obj\release\bin\flac.exe).
