Note to embedded developers
===============================================================================
libFLAC has grown larger over time as more functionality has been
included, but much of it may be unnecessary for a particular embedded
implementation. Unused parts may be pruned by some simple editing of
configure.in and src/libFLAC/Makefile.am; the following dependency
graph shows which modules may be pruned without breaking things
further down:
metadata.h
stream_decoder.h
format.h
stream_encoder.h
stream_decoder.h
format.h
stream_decoder.h
format.h
In other words, for pure decoding applications, both the stream encoder
and metadata editing interfaces can be safely removed.
There is a section dedicated to embedded use in the libFLAC API
HTML documentation (see doc/html/api/index.html).
Also, there are several places in the libFLAC code with comments marked
with "OPT:" where a #define can be changed to enable code that might be
faster on a specific platform. Experimenting with these can yield faster
binaries.

If you have Fink or a recent version of OS X with the proper autotooles,
the GNU flow above should work. The Project Builder project has been
deprecated but we are working on replacing it with an Xcode equivalent.
