LINUX
-----
Whereever possible, you should use the packages supplied by your Linux
distribution.

If you really do need to compile from source it should be as easy as:

		./configure
		make
		make install

Since libsndfile optionally links against libFLAC, libogg and libvorbis, you
will need to install appropriate versions of these libraries before running
configure as above.


UNIX
----
Compile as for Linux.


Win32/Win64
-----------
The default Windows compilers are nowhere near compliant with the 1999 ISO
C Standard and hence not able to compile libsndfile.

Please use the libsndfile binaries available on the libsndfile web site.


MacOSX
------
Building on MacOSX should be the same as building it on any other Unix.
