Vorbis - Jul 2002 - Please correct this bugs in vorbis win32 environment

If You want to compile vorbis libraries under win32
environment you can experience some problems:
1) If you unzip vorbis libraries, you will have 3 directories:
"libogg-1.0", "libvorbis-1.0" and
"vorbis-tools-1.0".
You need to rename them to "ogg", "vorbis",
"vorbis-tools".
Otherwise batch files or even dsp project files, won't work.
2) Batch files assume that you have vorbis libraries at "i:\xing" :)
Well i don't have drive "I:" so this can be a problem :)
3) Batch files assume that you have MSVC installed at "C:".
Well, i don't have MSVC installed at "C:" :)

Small fixes should be applied to all batch files. This line:
call "c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\bin\vcvars32.bat"
should look like this:
call %MSVCDir%\bin\vcvars32.bat
Also you need to set SRCROOT environment variable to an
appropriate directory.

Of course the best way to compile libraries is to use .dsw
files. But you still need to rename those 3 directories to an
appropriate names (see point 1).
Also some MSVC projects should be fixed. When you compile
"Static Debug" libraries, compilator will use run-time libraries
"Debug Multithreaded DLL". But when you compile
"Static Release" libraries, compilator will use run-time
libraries "Multithreaded".
This should be changed to "Multithreaded DLL".

Also .NET compilator reports few hundreds warnings :)
Most of them is "conversion from .... to ....". I think you
could fix that too :)

Hi Adam, Alan...

Thanks for those tips.  We had actually altered SRCROOT to point to
something more sensible than I:\xiph i.e.

SRCROOT=F:\pnewton\Project\Ogg Vorbis
Downloads\V1.0\oggvorbis-win32sdk-1.0

but accidentally sent that email whilst we were still preparing it.

Also we changed

et INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;%SRCROOT%\ogg\include;%SRCROOT%\vorbis\include

to

et INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;%SRCROOT%\include\ogg;%SRCROOT%\include\vorbis

However, we'll try out the other suggestions.

Cheers,
Gov
