sox_ng wiki - Distro-MXE

Distro MXE

MXE is a cross-compilation environment for Linux that creates Windows executables. It already has a configuration file to build sox.exe' fromsox-14.4.2`.

It’s just too easy make it build sox.exe: Install the other packages it depends on (see https://mxe.cc/#requirements) then

git clone https://github.com/mxe/mxe.git
cd mxe
wget -O src/sox_ng.mk https://codeberg.org/sox_ng/sox_ng/releases/download/sox_ng-14.4.5/sox_ng.mk
make sox_ng

and sox.exe will appear, after a long pause, as

usr/i686-w64-mingw32.static/bin/sox.exe

This has been adapted for sox_ng. See issue #65

FreeBSD

The Requirements page says you need to install python3 but you need to install python. You also need zip and lzip and pkgconf. p7zip has gone from FreeBSD so remove the line 7za from Makefile as well as unzip (provided by zip).

Use gmake, not make (which is dmake).

Things for mxe.cc to do

src/sox.mk lists as build dependencies:

$(PKG)_DEPS         := cc file flac lame libltdl libmad libpng libsndfile \
                                     opencore-amr opus twolame vorbis wavpack

but that wants to be opusfile, not opus.

It also wants libid3tag and in the configuration section

                 --without-id3tag \

wants to be

                 --with-id3tag \
