Portable C Audio Library 1.2


The Portable C Audio Library (pcaudiolib) provides a C API to different audio devices. It supports:

Audio Framework Operating System
ALSA Linux
CoreAudio Mac OS
OSS POSIX
PulseAudio Linux
QSA QNX
XAudio2 Windows

See the ChangeLog for a description of the changes in the various releases.

Build Dependencies

In order to build the project, you need:

  1. an autotools system (make, autoconf, automake, libtool and pkg-config);
  2. a C compiler (e.g. gcc or clang).

Optionally, you need:

  1. the alsa development libraries to enable alsa audio output;
  2. the pulseaudio development library to enable pulseaudio output.

Debian

Core dependencies:

Dependency Install
autotools sudo apt-get install make autoconf automake libtool pkg-config
c compiler sudo apt-get install gcc

Optional Libraries:

Dependency Install
alsa sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev
pulseaudio sudo apt-get install libpulse-dev

Mac OS

To enable CoreAudio output support you need to have the coreaudio framework on your system. Installing XCode along with the Mac OS SDK is the recommended way of getting it. For Xcode on OS X 10.9 and earlier C11 compiler or newer is needed.

Windows

Some of the Windows SDK APIs (e.g. the XAudio2 headers) don't compile with a C compiler, so a C++ compiler is needed to compile them.

Building

This project uses a standard autotools build system with an autogen.sh script. You can thus build the project using:

./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr
make

and install it using:

sudo make install
