Readme<br>

</font><font face="Verdana" size="2">(last updated July 7, 2002)</font></p>
|
||
<p><b><font size="2" face="Verdana">Introduction</font></b></p>
|
||
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana">First off, just to be clear, you have to fully
|
||
agree with the included license agreement before using / viewing any of the
|
||
included materials. The big points are that you can't steal code or try to
|
||
make money with it (without permission) and that you have to submit changes and
|
||
improvements back to the Monkey's Audio project. With that out of the way,
|
||
I'm hoping that by releasing the source code, we'll be able to work together to
|
||
make Monkey's Audio better. Please direct any suggestions or improvements
|
||
to the Monkey's Audio developer's forum or to me personally when appropriate.
|
||
(email @ monkeysaudio.com) And thank you for taking the time to help.</font></p>
|
||
<p><b><font size="2" face="Verdana">Important Note</font></b></p>
|
||
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana">The Monkey's Audio format is not
|
||
"finalized". In fact, the compression / decompression engines
|
||
are continually being improved. This is what makes MAC fun to work on, and
|
||
it's what makes progress possible. I realize that this can be a pain for
|
||
3rd party developers, but it's the only way to avoid stagnation. So, you
|
||
can not hard code Monkey's Audio support and expect it to work with the newest
|
||
versions of MAC forever. Either use a DLL or else accept that you'll have
|
||
to re-link to MACLib once in a while.</font></p>
|
||
<p><b><font size="2" face="Verdana">Things that it'd be great if you worked on</font></b></p>
|
||
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">1. It would be nice to have makefiles for gcc
|
||
or any other compilers that people commonly use.</font></p>
|
||
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana">2. Pour through the code and look for bone-head
|
||
maneuvers.</font></p>
|
||
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana">3. Submit any necessary changes for
|
||
cross-platform compilation. </font></p>
|
||
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana">4. XMMS, Lame DLL, PocketPC, etc. plugins /
|
||
implementations.</font></p>
|
||
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana">5. A console front-end that doesn't suck. (more
|
||
options, etc.) Also, don't worry about maintaining compatibility with the
|
||
current parameter passing scheme -- just use whatever makes sense.</font></p>
|
||
<p><b><font size="2" face="Verdana">Tips for building MACLib outside of Windows</font></b></p>
|
||
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">1. in "Shared/All.h" do this:</font></p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><font size="2" face="Verdana">#define BUILD_CROSS_PLATFORM</font></li>
|
||
<li><font face="Verdana" size="2">look through "Shared/All.h" and
|
||
"Shared/NoWindows.h" to make sure all the defines are acceptable</font></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">2. You need to use NASM to build the assembly
|
||
if you want it. (helps speed a lot) Check out "MacLib/Assembly/..."
|
||
for more information.</font></p>
|
||
<p><b><font size="2" face="Verdana">Known non-Windows problems (help fixing them
|
||
would be great)</font></b></p>
|
||
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana">2. The macros PUMP_MESSAGE_LOOP, MESSAGEBOX, and a few others don't work.</font></p>
