Hi there: I downloaded the source code for libmad and try to install it on Windows. But I don't know how to install it, do I need to write a make file ? I have no idea at all. From the document, it said I can use either MSVC++ or cygwin. But there is no readme file for how to install using MSVC++. I installed cygwin, but I don't know how to use it to install? Sorry for my questions, but I'm a beginer and I really have no idea.
If anyone could help me, I'd appreciate it very much.
Thank you!

For MSVC++: open the project file contained in the 'msvc++' subdirectory, choose either Release or Debug target, and build.
For Cygwin: open a shell and follow the instructions in the INSTALL and README files. It basically boils down to:
$ ./configure $ make $ make install
(By default the resulting library will be dependent on the Cygwin DLL; to avoid this give the option --host=mingw32 to 'configure'.)
In either case you will get a static library you can link with your programs using the 'mad.h' header file.
