ALAC

Apple Lossless Audio Codec with autotools. This repo uses the source code from http://alac.macosforge.org/ and wrap it around using autotools and Debian build toolchain.

This thing is unmaintained. Use this on your own risk.

Prerequisites, if you want to build it yourself

How to build

Classic GNU

autoreconf -i -f
./configure
# Or if you want to
# ./configure --enable-example
make
sudo make install

Debian packaging

This method works if:

I strongly suggest you to know how the Debian packaging works before using this method.

  1. You need to have a packaging environment.
  1. Set up packaging environment.
  1. Edit debian/changelog.
  1. Do: 
    dpkg-buildpackage
  2. The .deb's will be in the parent folder of the source code directory.

Visual Studio

** The resulting binary might not work. I don't know why. Do this on your own risk.**

  1. Go to compat.
  2. Go to corresponding folder match your VS version.
  3. Open up the solution and build it.
<!-- ## Binaries ### Personal Packages Archive If you are too lazy to download the build the sources yourself, and is using Ubuntu or something like that, you can just install it from my PPA at Launchpad. (I guess you know how to add a PPA to your system) -->

What's included

Documentation

alacconvert

Look at the man page.

The library

Either look at the .txt's in the repo or go to Apple's website.

Bugs Report

If you found some difficulty building it, open a new issue. Otherwise, don't bother me. Note that I am not a programmer. So if you have any patch regarding the sources I'm sorry I can't apply it. But if it is about the building system, feel free to open a new pull request or an issue.

Versioning scheme

(upstream_major).(upstream_minor)r(upstream_revision)+tg(my_release_number)

The upstream major and minor are both 0 because Apple never made a release. The upstream revision is 4 because the SVN revision I pulled out from is 4. My release number is of course my release number. "tg" is my initials.
