#58 Building LAME 3.100 on windows

[Rajat Aggarwal]

Hey Team,

We are trying to get the lame_encc.dll for building the LAME on windows.

We tried to use MSVC solutions files shipped with 3.100 version, they seemed old, and we were not able to update them with VS 2017/2019. We then tried to use MinGW but struggled to get it to work with the suggested “make -f Makefile.unix UNAME=MSDOS” We also tried to use the configure script with MinGW, but it did not generate the lame_enc.dll (only lame.exe and libmp3lame.a). The instructions in INSTALL files seem to be a bit old, so we would appreciate your help and advice on the best approach to build the DLL.

Latest time I needed the lame DLL (many years ago, truth be told) I used a mingw environment and the configure script as well, as the static library libmp3lame.a is needed indeed.
Well, I think I used the script Makefile.mingw32 located into Dll/ subdir, this created the file "BladeMP3Enc.dll" which I renamed into lame_enc.dll . Give it a try/play with it, everything you need is there.

We have a VS 2019 project file in the tree since a while. Does this work better?
