Problems with converting wave files to OGG files

hi!

i've been trying to encode some wave files i have to ogg file but have been getting quite a lot of errors..as im really new to MSVC & OGG so pls do be patient with my simple questions... =)

i wonder how i can make use of the oggvorbis sdk? inexperience as i am, i copied all the files from the sdk to the respective include, lib & bin folders of my MSVC folder ie. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include etc... it seems really a primitive way ... am i doing it correct?

nxt, i opened encoder_example.c from the sdk, build & compiled it and received the following errors:

-------------------Configuration: encoder_example - Win32 Debug--------------------

If you just want to encode wave to vorbis or speex, you can find my pre built libraries and directshow filters at http://www.illiminable.com/ogg/ using graphedit which is part of the directx 9 sdk you can encode simply, look at this page for example filter graphs http://www.illiminable.com/ogg/graphedit.html There are currently some limitation, like you can't change any of the vorbis encoder properties. (default to 0.3 ~128kbs)

The source for this project is at http://svn.xiph.org/trunk/oggdsf , note you should check out the revision that matches the build number on the last binary release 7043. Also it can only be built with VS.NET 2002 and above... also pretty soon, by the next binary release, they will all be changed forward to 2003 project files because of a bug in the 2002 compiler which prevents one of the projects building.

No this is generally a bad idea ! If you look ni the projects properties there will be an entry for "additional include directories" here you want to put the include directories for the vorbis libraries wehreever you have them. and also for the libogg libraries.

This is due to the way those project files are set up, it can't find the link to the libvorbis library... you need to look in properties again and find the entry called "Additional library directories", put the directory where the libraries have been built... something like c:\ogg\libvorbis\win32\debug or release... just look where the built libraries went to.  Do the same for the libogg library

Also in the additional dependancies or additional libraries (can't remember exactly what they are called, i haven't used vc6 for ages)... and put the name of the built vorbis library... probably vorbis_d.lib, same for ogg_d.lib or whatever it's called.
