| 11 |
libgig is a C++ library for loading, modifying existing and creating new |
| 12 |
Gigasampler files and DLS (Downloadable Sounds) Level 1/2 files. The |
| 13 |
source code package includes a couple of command line tools based on the |
| 14 |
library. The library and tools are released in source code format under the |
| 15 |
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html">GNU General Public License</a>. |
| 16 |
</p> |
| 17 |
<p> |
| 18 |
This library is developed and optimized for POSIX compliant operating |
| 19 |
systems like Linux and OSX and since release 3.1.1 for Windows as well. |
| 20 |
libgig was developed to compile on any operating system, though since |
| 21 |
release 3.0.0 libgig uses one tiny operating system dependant method to |
| 22 |
be able to resize files. Should be a 5 minute job to implement this method |
| 23 |
for other operating systems as well though. |
