        Compiling libsndfile is relatively easy. The INSTALL file in the top level directory
429
 
        gives instructions on compiling and installing libsndfile on Unix-like systems
430
 
        (including MacOSX). For Win32 there are instructions in the doc/ directory of the
431
 
        tarball. These instructions are mirrored
432
 
                <A HREF="win32.html">here</A>.
433
 
</P>
 
448
The Win32 installer was compiled for Windows XP but should also work on Windows
 
449
2000  and Vista.
 
450
It may even work on earlier versions of Windows.
 
451
The Win64 is pretty much untested.
