Hello Friends,

I am new to this project. I was researching for a mp3 decoder and happen to find mad project, I think this is the right one for me. Thanks for doing this great project, quite complex indeed!.

I downloaded the necessary files from sourceforge.net, like,... libid3tag-0.15.1b.tar.gz libmad-0.15.1b.tar.gz madplay-0.15.2b.tar.gz zlib123.zip And opened the project file, madplay.dsw, unfortunately it complained that could not find the zlib1.1.4 project files, so I separately dowloaded the latest zlib123 version from their website. From what I could infer so far is that, 1. zlib and libmad are independent projects with no dependency, zlib is created as Windows DLL project, and libmad as a Static Library project. 2. libid3tag depends upon zlib for compilation and compiles to a static library project. 3. Madplay, compiles to a Win32 Console project and depends upon the 2 static libraries, viz., libid3tag and libmad static libraries.

So in Visual Studio I have one solution contains 4 projects, namely libid3tag, libmad, zlib and madplay.

I did setup the project-properties with proper "additional include directories" and also added new references for both libid3tag (that depends upon zlib) and madplay (that depends upon libid3tag and libmad).

So far zlib, libid3tag and libmad projects compiled successfuly with zero errors, and I could see that their library files are present in their own ./Debug directories.

Now I tried to Build the madplay project, but I always get the following linker errors, 58 of them:

I don't know what I am doing wrong. Please help me to solve the problem. Your time and help is greatly appreciated.

If you like to see all the files, I can zip them up and send to you.

Thanks and Regards, S.Sridhar. Sunday, 29/Octobler/2006.
