Use + -DNeedFunctionPrototypes to compile with, or + -UNeedFunctionPrototypes to compile without, function + prototypes in the header files. + + Make addtst + + The "add" program that will be compiled and run checks whether + the basic math functions of the gsm library work with your + compiler. If it prints anything to stderr, complain (to us). + + Edit inc/config.h. + + Make + + Local versions of the gsm library and the "compress"-like filters + toast, untoast and tcat will be generated. + + If the compilation aborts because of a missing function, + declaration, or header file, see if there's something in + inc/config.h to work around it. If not, complain. + + Try it + + Grab an audio file from somewhere (raw u-law or Sun .au is fine, + linear 16-bit in host byte order will do), copy it, toast it, + untoast it, and listen to the result. + + The GSM-encoded and -decoded audio should have the quality + of a good phone line. If the resulting audio is noisier than + your original, or if you hear compression artifacts, complain; + that's a bug in our software, not a bug in the GSM encoding + standard itself. + +Installation + + You can install the gsm library interface, or the toast binaries, + or both. + + Edit the Makefile + + Fill in the directories where you want to install the + library, header files, manual pages, and binaries. + + Turn off the installation of one half of the distribution + (i.e., gsm library or toast binaries) by not setting the + corresponding directory root Makefile macro. + + make install + + will install the programs "toast" with two links named + "tcat" and "untoast", and the gsm library "libgsm.a" with + a "gsm.h" header file, and their respective manual pages. + + +Optimizing + + This code was developed on a machine without an integer + multiplication instruction, where we obtained the fastest result by + replacing some of the integer multiplications with floating point + multiplications. + + If your machine does multiply integers fast enough, + leave USE_FLOAT_MUL undefined. The results should be the + same in both cases. + + On machines with fast floating point arithmetic, defining + both USE_FLOAT_MUL and FAST makes a run-time library + option available that will (in a few crucial places) use + ``native'' floating point operations rather than the bit-by-bit + defined ones of the GSM standard. If you use this fast + option, the outcome will not be bitwise identical to the + results prescribed by the standard, but it is compatible with + the standard encoding, and a user is unlikely to notice a + difference. + + +Bug Reports + + Please direct bug reports, questions, and comments to + jutta@cs.tu-berlin.de and cabo@informatik.uni-bremen.de. + + +Good luck, + + Jutta Degener, + Carsten Bormann + +-- +Copyright 1992, 1993, 1994, by Jutta Degener and Carsten Bormann, +Technische Universitaet Berlin.
