Vorbis Tools Compile For Windows?

Hello, I had used Vorbis Tools a couple of years ago, and had tagged some files with Artist, title & some comments. I remember there was some little program with a name like 'vorbis comment' (I might be wrong)

I went back to the official OGG site just now and have been clicking around trying to get a recent binary package of Vorbis Tools but can't find a place. Even on Rarewares there is no package for Vorbis Tools 
I did find one package eventually after going around almost in circles which is here:
http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/vorbis/...tools-1.1.1.zip
But it's source files.

The new Xiph sites do look nice but I think it would be much better if there were the basic Vorbis Tools easily available for users!... 

Can anyone make a windows binary available for the above 27th June 2005 version 1.1.1 Vorbis Tools? Thanks very much anyone that does

You can't get vorbiscomment (which is a part of vorbis-tools) from Rarewares, AFAICT.

Xiph.org seems to have stopped providing binaries. Maybe Rarewares could start providing Win32 builds in the future..?

I'll provide a compile of vorbis-comment in an hour, or two.

A compile of vorbiscomment using 1.1.1 libs is now at Rarewares near the bottom of the 'ogg' page.

what!? that's all rarewares provides is Win32 builds haha.  I am just starting to get into this whole thing with compiling only I have to learn Emacs and GCC in unix enviroment for one of my classes, but I guess cygwin will work in the interrum.  I wish fishing through the packages in unix lab on Red Hat at the university I go to yesterday and I noticed there were some packages for Vorbis and FLAC.  Maybe I can make linux builds in the future once I learn more about it.

It's pretty easy to do.  Just run:

autogen.sh
configure
make

for libogg, libvorbis, and vorbistools.  Of course, if you want to distribute oggenc, you should make it static, so just add a -static in the CFLAGS section in the Makefile.

I could make an icc (Intel compiled) linux binary of oggenc but it probably violates my non-commercial license to distribute it?    It runs faster than any gcc build I've seen.

If you are distributing it for free and not getting any income out of it, I suspect you won't be violating the license. You can't be more non-commercial than that...

I have a professor who has a good sense of humour and just tends to throw useful stuff at us that we can use. Sometimes he goes all you need is "insight" I recommend scratching down the idea for code you have on a sheet of paper.  He has all of these crazy technical and non-technical rules I just started coding using C and Emacs which is a major PITA at least right now until I figure it out more. Right now I was only using a few GCC flags, but in the packet of paper I noticed something about CFLAGS, didn't read into it though just a few switches such as debugging and optmization. In Emacs you can just access the command line to compile and it's alright looking for the make.  I have a few coding assignments that I am trying to work, but I need to sit down and figure out how I can solve them, I noticed it's better if you break a certain problem up into multiple functions. I will try to do that though trying to make compiles once I get around to it.
