============================ MusicBrainz Client Library

Documentation

To get started quickly have a look at the examples directory which contains various sample programs. API documentation can be generated using [Doxygen] (http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/). The online version of the API documentation can be found at:

http://metabrainz.github.com/libmusicbrainz/

Compiling and Linking

This package provides a pkg-config script that returns the necessary compiler and linker flags, as well as the version number. To build a small sample program one would use:

g++ -o test_app test_app.cpp `pkg-config libmusicbrainz5 --cflags --libs`

If you don't want/can't use pkg-config and you are using the C API, make sure you link in the C++ standard library:

gcc -o test_app test_app.c -lmusicbrainz5 -lm -lstdc++
