Re: [SoX-users] Compiling sox-14.0.0 source using CMake for Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 on Windows

[Sathyaish C. <sat...@gm...>]

Hi!

Thank you for the interim release. It does include the CMakeLists.txt file
now.

I have successfully been able to create a Microsoft Visual C project with
CMake and the pre-release codebase you sent. However, when I build the
source, I get errors for missing header files such as stdint.h, byteswap.h,
etc.

At first, I got 100 errors for the missing header file stdint.h. I
downloaded that from the Web and put it in the VC98/Include folder and that
error went away.

Now, I get an error for the missing byteswap.h. I see the file on the Web
but it strongly recommends not using that at is not portable code.

I closely investigated your codebase and there are some pre-processor
includes that include these header files conditionally. I'll give you an
example. In sox_i.h, there's a line:

#ifdef HAVE_BYTESWAP_H
    #include <byteswap.h>
#endif

The same file also, later, has the macro definitions for macros soxswapw and
dw pointing to functions byteswap_16 and _32 inside a similar pre-processor
instruction:

#ifdef HAVE_BYTESWAP_H
    #define byteswap_16(x)
....
#endif

Now, I searched the entire codebase but could not find where HAVE_BYTESWAP_H
was #defined. I assume, under such circumstances that the preprocessor must
skip the inclusion of byteswap.h. Also, the macros soxswapw and dw are not
used in the source code, therefore I expect that the code must compile
without errors.

However, it expects me to provide a definition of the macros by including
the header byteswap.h.

I am sure there are more pre-processor instructions that will flag missing
header file errors. How do I rectify them?

In soxconfig.h, there are #undefs for each of these pre-processor
symbols/constants, but they are commented out. Should I just go ahead and
uncomments the relevant ones?


Regards

Sathyaish
