* src/gig.cpp: fixed bug in decompression algorithm which caused it not to
  detect the end of a stream
* various endian corrections (successfully tested now on ppc)
* minor adjustments to avoid compile errors on some systems
  (using now pow() instead of powl() and --pedantic g++ compiler switch)
* src/RIFF.cpp, src/RIFF.h: added additional API documentation

1 Content
2 =======
3 libgig actually consists of three parts:
4
5 - RIFF classes (RIFF.h, RIFF.cpp): Provides convenient methods to parse and
6 access arbitrary RIFF files.
7 - DLS classes (DLS.h, DLS.cpp): They're using the RIFF classes to parse
8 DLS (Downloadable Sounds) Level 1 and 2
9 files and provide abstract access to the
10 data.
11 - gig classes (gig.h, gig.cpp): These are based on the DLS classes and
12 provide the neccessary extensions for
13 the Gigasampler file format.
14
15 Requirements
16 ============
17 I simply used automake & co this time so you will need to have automake,
18 autoconf and libtool installed. I used the following versions:
19
20 automake 1.6.3
21 autoconf 2.57
22
23 If you want to compile the 'gigextract' application that comes with these
24 sources then you will additionally need to have libaudiofile installed (I
25 used version 0.2.3).
26
27 Non-POSIX systems
28 =================
29 If you don't have a POSIX system, you have to set 'POSIX' to '0' in RIFF.h.
30 Instead of using POSIX calls then standard C calls will be used for file
31 access. This applies e.g. to Windows systems.
32
33 Compiling:
34 ==========
35 - Use './configure && make all' to compile the library and all tools and
36 demo applications.
37
38 - Beside the actual library there are four applications:
39
40 gigdump: Demo app that prints out the content of a .gig file.
41 gigextract: Extracts samples from a .gig file.
42 dlsdump: Demo app that prints out the content of a DLS file.
43 rifftree: Tool that prints out the RIFF tree of an arbitrary RIFF
44 file.
45
46 - If you have Doxygen installed you can generate the API documentation by
47 just running 'doxygen' in the sources' top level directory.
48
49 - 'make distclean' to clean up everything again
50
51 Patches
52 =======
53 If you find bugs or have improvements, your patches are always welcome!
54 Send them either directly to me or to the LinuxSampler developer's mailing
55 list <linuxsampler-devel@lists.sourceforge.net>.

57 Credits
58 =======
59 This library is based on the reverse engineering work of Paul Kellett and
60 Ruben van Royen. Thanks for your great work!
