+PortAudio Tutorial

+
+ +

+Compiling for Windows (WMME or DirectSound)

+ +
To compile PortAudio for Windows, you can choose between three +options: + +Some advantages of using DirectSound are that DirectSound may have lower +latency than WMME, and supports effects processing plugins. But one disadvantage +is that DirectSound is not installed on all PCs, and is not well supported +under Windows NT. So WMME is the best choice for most projects. +

Note: If you are compiling one of the PortAudio test programs +with Visual C++, then create a new Project of type "Win32 Console Application". +

+All

+For any Windows implementation, add the following source files to your +project: +
+
pa_common\pa_lib.c
+pa_common\portaudio.h
+pa_common\pa_host.h
+
+Link with the system library "winmm.lib". For Visual C++: +
    +
  1. +select "Settings..." from the "Project" menu,
    2. + +
  2. +select the project name in the tree on the left,
    3. + +
  3. +choose "All Configurations" in the popup menu above the tree,
    4. + +
  4. +select the "Link" tab,
    5. + +
  5. +enter "winmm.lib", without quotes, as the first item in the "Object/library +modules:" field.
    6. +
+ +

+WMME

+To use the WMME implementation, add the following source files to your +project: +
pa_win_wmme/pa_win_wmme.c
+ +

+DirectSound

+If you want to use the DirectSound implementation of PortAudio then you +must have a recent copy of the free +DirectX +SDK for Developers from Microsoft installed on your computer. To compile +an application add the following source files to your project: +
+
pa_win_ds\dsound_wrapper.c
+pa_win_ds\pa_dsound.c
+
+Link with both system libraries "dsound.lib" and "winmm.lib" +using the procedure described above for "winmm.lib". +
  + + + + +
Borland users cannot link with the "dsound.lib" from Microsoft +directly. Emmanuel offered this advice: +

One can use implib from Borland to generate a new .lib file which is +compatible with Borland C++. +

Use: "implib dsound.dll dsound.lib" and include dsound.lib into your +project. +

I still had a problem executing the patest_record example. The thread +ended with an error like 'Floating point overflow at...'. This problem +was caused due to a fault in the compiler. Now I'm using Borland 5.02 (instead +of 5.01). Everything seems to be working fine at the moment.

+
+ +
You might try compiling the "pa_tests\patest_saw.c" file first +because it is the simplest.
