- Prepare and check release tarball by running
git clean -ffxd && ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make distcheck - Check whether release tarball contains api documentation and generated man pages
- Prepare Windows release. Instructions are for building with MinGW-w64
- Take last release as template
- Update readme's if necessary
- Copy changelog and tool documentation
- Unpack tarball and create empty directories build64 and build32
- Unpack most recent libogg: change
add_library(ogg ${OGG_HEADERS} ${OGG_SOURCES}) to add_library(ogg STATIC ${OGG_HEADERS} ${OGG_SOURCES}) - Add
-static-libgcc to FLAC's CFLAGS - Add
-static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ -Wl,-Bstatic,--whole-archive -lwinpthread -Wl,-Bdynamic,--no-whole-archive to FLAC's CXXFLAGS - Run
CMake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON .. && ninja in both build64 and build32 in the corresponding build environments - Check dependencies of flac.exe, metaflac.exe, libFLAC.dll and libFLAC++.dll, e.g. with objdump -x . | grep DLL. Dependencies should only include KERNEL32.DLL, ADVAPI32.DLL, msvcrt.dll and libFLAC.dll
- Copy flac.exe, metaflac.exe, libFLAC.dll and libFLAC++.dll of both builds to proper directories
- Zip directory
