+Compiling on win32:
+
+So far, it has only been confirmed it compiles on visual C 6.0 (service pack 5),
+but if you got it working on Borland or other compilers, drop me a mail, or better, add a patch
+here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=979&atid=300979 with the (e.g.) borland project files.
+
+These are the directories you'll be needing:
+id3lib/prj
+id3lib/libprj
+id3lib/id3com
+
+The first one (id3lib/prj) creates the standard dll (no COM interface)
+The Second one (id3lib/libprj) creates the .lib file for static linking.
+And the third one (id3lib/id3com) creates a dll with com interface. A Visual basic demo using it is included.
+
+Before you compile, you'll need to rename id3lib/config.h.win32 to id3lib/config.h
+
+The third one is not too much tested, it was created outside this project but
+it doesn't seem to be maintained anymore. I've included it as a service.
+The original location is http://sourceforge.net/projects/id3com
+
+And, last but not least, there is a delphi project in cvs
+(http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/id3lib/id3lib-stable/delphi/)
+which uses the allready compiled dll.
+Also in there is a file called Id3lib.pas which has the interface to the dll
+defined.
+
+How to start:
+
+A) ***Your project wants to link id3lib static, and has mfc linked static:
+1) Rename config.h.win32 to config.h
+2) include libprj/id3lib.dsp and zlib/prj/zlib.dsp to your workspace
+3) make your project dependend on id3lib, and make id3lib dependend on zlib
+4) Add /D ID3LIB_LINKOPTION=1 to your project options (settings, C/C++ tab)
+5) Add the following include dirs to your program:
+ /I <path_to_id3lib>\\include /I <path_to_id3lib>\\include\\id3
+6) (add your code which uses id3lib)
+7) Try to compile, and see if you need any of the following:
+ (debug) /nodefaultlib:"msvcprtd" or(release) /nodefaultlib:"msvcprt"
+ (debug) /nodefaultlib:"MSVCRTD" or(release) /nodefaultlib:"MSVCRT"
+ (debug) /nodefaultlib:"libcd" or(release) /nodefaultlib:"libc"
+ different programs may require different 'nodefaultlib' 's, or none at all, these worked for me.
+ If none you try work, revert to C)
+
+B)***Your project wants to link id3lib static, and has mfc linked dynamic or has no MFC:
+1) Rename config.h.win32 to config.h
+2) include libprj/id3lib.dsp and zlib/prj/zlib.dsp to your workspace
+3) make your project dependend on id3lib, and make id3lib dependend on zlib
+4) Add /D ID3LIB_LINKOPTION=1 to your project options (settings, C/C++ tab)
+5) Add the following include dirs to your program:
+ /I <path_to_id3lib>\\include /I <path_to_id3lib>\\include\\id3
+6) (add your code which uses id3lib)
+7) Try to compile, and see if you need any of the following:
+ (debug) /nodefaultlib:"msvcprtd" or(release) /nodefaultlib:"msvcprt"
+ (debug) /nodefaultlib:"MSVCRTD" or(release) /nodefaultlib:"MSVCRT"
+ (debug) /nodefaultlib:"libcmtd" or(release) /nodefaultlib:"libcmt"
+ different programs may require different 'nodefaultlib' 's, or none at all, these worked for me.
+ If none you try work, revert to C)
+
+C)***Your project wants to link id3lib dynamic: (instructions below for vc)
+1) Rename config.h.win32 to config.h
+2) include prj/id3lib.dsp and zlib/prj/zlib.dsp to your workspace (*note this is a different id3lib than above)
+3) make your project dependend on id3lib, and make id3lib dependend on zlib
+4) Add /D ID3LIB_LINKOPTION=3 to your project options (settings, C/C++ tab) (*note this is a different option than above)
+5) Add the following include dirs to your program:
+ /I <path_to_id3lib>\\include /I <path_to_id3lib>\\include\\id3
+6) (add your code which uses id3lib)
+7) Compile.
+8) dump id3lib.dll in your programs project dir.
+9) distribute your program including id3lib.dll
+(MS recommend you distribute it in your programs dir and not in system(32) to avoid version conficts)
