Help With A Compiling Exercise

Hey folks. As an exercise, i'm trying to make a build of the ALAC codec on a 64bit Windows computer. I'm using GCC via MinGW, and actually have no idea where to start.

The source to ALAC (Apple's Lossless Encoder) is here -

http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/alac/trunk/


I'm trying to build the codec (as stated). How would i accomplish this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks. the only compiling/coding i've ever done so far, i started a week ago learning C (using the K&R's 'The C Programming Language").

I'm still working on that and will be for a while, but i wanted to try and do a small compile of this for my windows box. I have compiled my kernel on my linux box, so i'm not *entirely* new to it all i guess.

The makefile included with the source code on this project starts with -


# libalac make

CFLAGS = -g -O3 -c
LFLAGS = -Wall
CC = g++


Does that help at all? Is that a reference to the GNU C/C++ Compiler?
