Building libsndfile on Win32

Note : For pre-compiled binaries for windows, both for win32 and win64, see the main web page.

There are currently two build systems; the official GNU autotool based one and a more limited and experimental CMake based build system.

libsndfile is written to be compiled by a compiler which supports large chunks of the 1999 ISO C Standard (tested with GCC, Clang and Visual Studio 2015).

It is recommended to use CMake and Visual Studio to build libsndfile on Windows but you can try the MinGW compiler suite with Autotools or CMake buildsystem.
