ALAC

This repository is a clone of the Apple Lossless Audio Codec at http://alac.macosforge.org with added files to enable it to be built using GNU autotools. Use it to build and install the Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) library libalac.

The added files are based on work done by Tiancheng "Timothy" Gu (@TimothyGu) in his repository https://github.com/TimothyGu/alac/ with some changes. Many thanks to him for his work. This respository is bare-bones – it does not cater for Visual Studio nor does it deal with Debian packaging. Similarly, it does not install man pages.

###Download, build, install

To download, build and install libalac do the following:

• Clone the repository and cd into the folder:

$ git clone https://github.com/mikebrady/alac.git
$ cd alac

• Configure the build and make the library:

$ autoreconf -fi
$ ./configure
$ make

• Install the library:

$ sudo make install

• Finally, to make the library visible during compilation, you need to tell ld to catalogue it:

$ sudo ldconfig -v

That's it.
