FLAC is an Open Source lossless audio codec developed by Josh Coalson from 2001
|
|
to 2009.
|
|
|
|
From January 2012 FLAC is being maintained by Erik de Castro Lopo under the
|
|
auspices of the Xiph.org Foundation.
|
|
|
|
FLAC is comprised of
|
|
* `libFLAC', a library which implements reference encoders and
|
|
decoders for native FLAC and Ogg FLAC, and a metadata interface
|
|
* `libFLAC++', a C++ object wrapper library around libFLAC
|
|
* `flac', a command-line program for encoding and decoding files
|
|
* `metaflac', a command-line program for viewing and editing FLAC
|
|
metadata
|
|
* player plugin for XMMS
|
|
* user and API documentation
|
|
|
|
The libraries (libFLAC, libFLAC++) are
|
|
licensed under Xiph.org's BSD-like license (see COPYING.Xiph). All other
|

programs and plugins are licensed under the GNU General Public License

Prerequisites
|
|
===============================================================================
|
|
|
|
To build FLAC with support for Ogg FLAC you must have built and installed
|
|
libogg according to the specific instructions below. You must have
|
|
libogg 1.1.2 or greater, or there will be seeking problems with Ogg FLAC.
|
|
|
|
If you are building on x86 and want the assembly optimizations, you will
|
|
need to have NASM >= 0.98.30 installed according to the specific instructions
|
|
below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
===============================================================================
|
|
Note to embedded developers
|
|
===============================================================================
|
|
|
|
libFLAC has grown larger over time as more functionality has been
|
|
included, but much of it may be unnecessary for a particular embedded
|
|
implementation. Unused parts may be pruned by some simple editing of
|
|
configure.ac and src/libFLAC/Makefile.am; the following dependency
|
|
graph shows which modules may be pruned without breaking things
|
|
further down:
|
|
|
|
metadata.h
|
|
stream_decoder.h
|
|
format.h
|
|
|
|
stream_encoder.h
|
|
stream_decoder.h
|
|
format.h
|
|
|
|
stream_decoder.h
|
|
format.h
|
|
|
|
In other words, for pure decoding applications, both the stream encoder
|
|
and metadata editing interfaces can be safely removed.
|
|
|
|
There is a section dedicated to embedded use in the libFLAC API
|
|
HTML documentation (see doc/html/api/index.html).
|
|
|
|
Also, there are several places in the libFLAC code with comments marked
|
|
with "OPT:" where a #define can be changed to enable code that might be
|
|
faster on a specific platform. Experimenting with these can yield faster
|
|
binaries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
===============================================================================
|
|
Building in a GNU environment
|
|
===============================================================================
|
|
|
|
FLAC uses autoconf and libtool for configuring and building.
|
|
Better documentation for these will be forthcoming, but in
|
|
general, this should work:
|
|
|
|
./configure && make && make check && make install
|
|
|
|
The 'make check' step is optional; omit it to skip all the tests,
|
|
which can take several hours and use around 70-80 megs of disk space.
|
|
Even though it will stop with an explicit message on any failure, it
|
|
does print out a lot of stuff so you might want to capture the output
|
|
to a file if you're having a problem. Also, don't run 'make check'
|
|
as root because it confuses some of the tests.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Despite our best efforts it's entirely possible to have
|
|
problems when using older versions of autoconf, automake, or
|
|
libtool. If you have the latest versions and still can't get it
|
|
to work, see the next section on Makefile.lite.
|
|
|
|
There are a few FLAC-specific arguments you can give to
|
|
`configure':
|
|
|
|
--enable-debug : Builds everything with debug symbols and some
|
|
extra (and more verbose) error checking.
|
|
|
|
--disable-asm-optimizations : Disables the compilation of the
|
|
assembly routines. Many routines have assembly versions for
|
|
speed and `configure' is pretty good about knowing what is
|
|
supported, but you can use this option to build only from the
|
|
C sources. May be necessary for building on OS X (Intel).
|
|
|
|
--enable-sse : If you are building for an x86 CPU that supports
|
|
SSE instructions, you can enable some of the faster routines
|
|
if your operating system also supports SSE instructions. flac
|
|
can tell if the CPU supports the instructions but currently has
|
|
no way to test if the OS does, so if it does, you must pass
|
|
this argument to configure to use the SSE routines. If flac
|
|
crashes when built with this option you will have to go back and
|
|
configure without --enable-sse. Note that
|
|
--disable-asm-optimizations implies --disable-sse.
|
|
|
|
--enable-local-xmms-plugin : Installs the FLAC XMMS plugin in
|
|
$HOME/.xmms/Plugins, instead of the global XMMS plugin area
|
|
(usually /usr/lib/xmms/Input).
|
|
|
|
--with-ogg=
|
|
--with-xmms-prefix=
|
|
--with-libiconv-prefix=
|
|
Use these if you have these packages but configure can't find them.
|
|
|
|
If you want to build completely from scratch (i.e. starting with just
|
|
configure.ac and Makefile.am) you should be able to just run 'autogen.sh'
|
|
but make sure and read the comments in that file first.
|
|
|
|
|
|
===============================================================================
|
|
Building with Makefile.lite
|
|
===============================================================================
|
|
|
|
There is a more lightweight build system for do-it-yourself-ers.
|
|
It is also useful if configure isn't working, which may be the
|
|
case since lately we've had some problems with different versions
|
|
of automake and libtool. The Makefile.lite system should work
|
|
on GNU systems with few or no adjustments.
|
|
|
|
From the top level just 'make -f Makefile.lite'. You can
|
|
specify zero or one optional target from 'release', 'debug',
|
|
'test', or 'clean'. The default is 'release'. There is no
|
|
'install' target but everything you need will end up in the
|
|
obj/ directory.
|
|
|
|
If you are not on an x86 system or you don't have nasm, you
|
|
may have to change the DEFINES in src/libFLAC/Makefile.lite. If
|
|
you don't have nasm, remove -DFLAC__HAS_NASM. If your target is
|
|
not an x86, change -DFLAC__CPU_IA32 to -DFLAC__CPU_UNKNOWN.
|
|
|
|
|
|
===============================================================================
|
|
Building with MSVC
|
|
===============================================================================
|
|
|
|
There are .vcproj projects and a master FLAC.sln solution to build all
|
|
the libraries and executables with MSVC 2005 or newer.
|
|
|
|
Prerequisite: you must have the Ogg libraries installed as described
|
|
later.
|
|
|
|
Prerequisite: you must have nasm installed, and nasm.exe must be in
|
|
your PATH, or the path to nasm.exe must be added to the list of
|
|
directories for executable files in the MSVC global options.
|
|
|
|
To build everything, run Visual Studio, do File|Open and open FLAC.sln.
|
|
From the dropdown in the toolbar, select "Release" instead of "Debug",
|
|
then do Build|Build Solution.
|
|
|
|
This will build all libraries both statically (e.g.
|
|
objs\release\lib\libFLAC_static.lib) and as DLLs (e.g.
|
|
objs\release\lib\libFLAC.dll), and it will build all binaries, statically
|
|
linked (e.g. objs\release\bin\flac.exe).
|
|
|
|
Everything will end up in the "objs" directory. DLLs and .exe files
|
|
are all that are needed and can be copied to an installation area and
|
|
added to the PATH.
|
|
|
|
By default the code is configured with Ogg support. Before building FLAC
|
|
you will need to get the Ogg source distribution
|
|
(see http://xiph.org/downloads/), build libogg_static.lib (load
|
|
win32\libogg_static.sln, change solution configuration to "Release" and
|
|
code generation to "Multi-threaded (/MT)", then build), copy libogg_static.lib
|
|
into FLAC's 'objs\release\lib' directory, and copy the entire include\ogg tree
|
|
into FLAC's 'include' directory (so that there is an 'ogg' directory in FLAC's
|
|
'include' directory with the files ogg.h, os_types.h and config_types.h).
|
|
|
|
If you want to build without Ogg support, instead edit all .vcproj files
|
|
and remove any "FLAC__HAS_OGG" definitions.
|

|
Building on Mac OS X
|
|
===============================================================================
|
|
|
|
If you have Fink or a recent version of OS X with the proper autotools,
|
|
the GNU flow above should work.
