Installation

libtimecode uses GNU autotools and libtool. The default auto-* workflow applies:

run ./configure and build libtimecode with make. See the INSTALL file for further instructions.

The tar.gz package release includes the build-environment (configure script, etc), but if you get the source from the repository, you first need to generate the build environment with something alike: aclocal; autoheader; libtoolize –copy; autoconf; automake –gnu –add-missing –copy. (OSX users use glibtoolize).

If Doxygen is available, the documentation can be [re-]generated from the source by calling make dox. Self-test scenarios and example code can be compiled and executed with make check.

Usage

Consult timecode.h for a detailed reference of available functions. The documentation is also available as Unix manual pages.

Test and example code is to-be-done. Stay tuned.

Q&A

How can I get help?

The preferred way is to use the issue-tracker at https://github.com/x42/libtimecode/issues . You can also send a private-mail to the author.
