I am trying to compile lame_enc.dll in Vistual Studio 2008 using the LameDll_vc8.vcproj project. I get the following errors:

Furthermore, I cannot find any file that declares the lame_close() function.

I didn't know that libmp3lame and mpglib had to be compiled and included. This should be documented in the INSTALL file.
