Hi!

1)

I'm a little bit confused! I am trying to run libmad in Cygwin and while installing libmad I flagged the configure command: "./configure --disable-shared --enable-profiling", and then made the install. Does this make libmad a static ilbrary so that I don't have to use the flag "-static" while compiling minimad.c? (I was told to make the library static because gprof doesn't support dynamic libraries...)

2)

After having some problems compiling minimad.c I read in another post in the mad-dev archives that I should use "make minimad.exe" to cimpile it. This works fine, but when I try to run it with "./minimad <test.mp3> test.pcm" I get some errors:

decoding error 0x0101 (lost synchronisation) at byte offset 0 decoding error 0x0103 (forbidden bitrate value) at byte offset 163 decoding error 0x0103 (forbidden bitrate value) at byte offset 213 . . . decoding error 0x0104 (reserved sample frequency value) at byte offset 224 decoding error 0x0103 (forbidden bitrate value) at byte offset 295 decoding error 0x0235 (bad main_data_begin pointer) at byte offset 412

Does anyone know what this means?

Thanks in advance! H --
