I wish to compile LAMES MP3x Frame Analyser so that I can amend a few things in the source code for project reasons.

However, following the instructions (README.WINGTK) provided and including all the .lib file etc leads to the first of the following errors:

Then it you can comment out the lines causing the problems(because they only create the help window), you eventually end up with more errors, requesting access to files not provided in the downloaded libraries.

I have mentioned this to Gabriel Bouvigne and he says that these libraries must have changed since mp3x was written therefore creating incompatibility problems.

If anyone has compiled MP3x recently, could you please tell me how you did it...

Thanks

Make sure you are using proper GTK version (1.2 or 1.3), and make sure you have specified library path correctly.

These intermediate errors come from gtkanal.c, commenting out these lines of code removes the above errors.

Even after using the older version of gtk 1.3 this last error comes up...

Now, I dont have a clue what the problem is here. Someone must know the correct why of compiling this....

I uploaded the gtk libs I am using on gabriel.mp3-tech.org/lame
