This is a Linux port of Paul Koonce's PVC 3.0 package for Irix. (This Linux port also runs on Irix, but is not as well tested there as Paul's original package.) In addition to changes facilitating the port, this version uses part of Bill Schottstaedt's sndlib sound file library to let PVC read lots of different sound file header types. It still writes only NeXT/Sun format files (but you can change this in PVC_LIB/fileio.c to write AIFF or WAV files). It also deals with byte-ordering transparently. Installation ------------ Just edit makefile.conf as appropriate for your system. If you want to install the programs in /usr/local/bin, and you're compiling on Linux, you shouldn't have to change makefile.conf. (But have a look at it anyway.) If you're on SGI, you may want to edit the UTILITIES/Makefile. (Read that to find out why.) - To compile, type `make'. - To install, become root and type `make install'. - To install stripped binaries to save space, become root and type `make install-strip'. - To uninstall, become root and type `make uninstall'. happy vocoding...
