10     <p>
11     libgig is a C++ library for loading, modifying existing and creating new
12 schoenebeck 3886 GigaStudio/Gigasampler (.gig) files and DLS (Downloadable Sounds) Level 1/2 files, KORG sample
13 schoenebeck 2822 based instruments (.KSF and .KMP files), SoundFont v2 (.sf2) files and AKAI sampler data.
14     The source code package includes a couple of command line tools based on the
15 schoenebeck 1405 library. The library and tools are released in source code format under the
16 schoenebeck 3527 <a href="https://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html">GNU General Public License</a>,
17 schoenebeck 2822 except the AKAI classes which are released under the
18 schoenebeck 3527 <a href="https://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lgpl.html">GNU Lesser General Public License</a>.

21     This library is developed and optimized for POSIX compliant operating
22     systems like Linux and OSX and since release 3.1.1 for Windows as well.
23 schoenebeck 3886 libgig was developed to compile on any operating system. There are some
24     very few build requirements though:
25     <ul>
26     <li>
27     Since release 3.0.0 libgig uses one tiny operating system dependant method to
28     be able to resize files. Should be a 5 minute job to implement this method
29     for other operating systems as well though.
30     </li>
31     <li>
32     Since release 4.3.0, at least a C++11 compliant compiler is required to build
33     libgig from source.
34     </li>
35     <li>
36     Since release 4.3.0, an UUID generating function is required to be provided by
37     the underlying OS. In previous libgig versions this was an optional feature,
38     its absence only prevented gig files modified by libgig potentially from being
39     accepted by Tascam's GigaStudio. It dit not mean any restriction with LinuxSampler
40     though, this has changed in the meantime so this is now a hard build requirement.
