<p>I've tried to get access to Windows audio from Go program but failed. That I did below:
1. Downloaded and built Portaudio (it's open audio I/O library <a href="http://portaudio.com/" rel="nofollow">http://portaudio.com/</a>). So I've built that with Visual Studio and got .dll file.
2. Downloaded Go wrapper for Portaudio - ( github.com/gordonklaus/portaudio )
3. Made simple Go file with example from wrapper above to test.
4. Go build.</p>
<p>So Go couldn't build that. As far as I understand that's tried to build portaudio from source with cgo. I've installed MinGW (gcc for Windows) and pkg-config but last one can't find portaudio-2.0.pc file. Once I've renamed portaudio-2.0.pc.in to portaudio-2.0.pc however it shows gcc error: "gcc: error: @THREAD_CFLAGS@: No such file or directory"</p>
<p>So any ideas, help?</p>
<hr/>**评论：**<br/><br/>evilissimo: <pre><pre><code> #cgo pkg-config: portaudio-2.0
</code></pre>
<p>remove that from the portaudio wrapper and replace it with:</p>
<pre><code> #cgo LDFLAGS: -lportaudio
</code></pre>
<p>that might work, however you might have to add the path to the library via -L on the LDFLAGS</p></pre>xlab_is: <pre><p>Nice try, but it actually should be much more</p>
<pre><code>$ pkg-config --cflags portaudio-2.0
-mthreads -IC:/MinGW/msys/1.0/local/include
$ pkg-config --libs portaudio-2.0
-LC:/MinGW/msys/1.0/local/lib -lportaudio -lwinmm -lm -lole32 -luuid

<p>But I avoid having any kind of c code in my go projects.</p></pre>xlab_is: <pre><p>I got this working fine on Windows 7 32-bit in 10 minutes.</p>
<p>1) First, install MinGW, I expect it be somewhere in C:\MinGW and run MSYS 1.0</p>
<p>2) Follow this answer: <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/a/26453379" rel="nofollow">http://stackoverflow.com/a/26453379</a> to get pkg-config working</p>
<p>3) Download PortAudio sources (<a href="http://www.portaudio.com/download.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.portaudio.com/download.html</a>) in somewhere like C:\dev\portaudio</p>
<p>4) Go to sources and do ./configure && make && make install</p>
<p>It should notice pkg-config existence while configuring and it should print after installation that it copied pkg-config data as well, see my screenshots: <a href="https://cl.ly/140k3m3S2Z1L/Screen%20Shot%202016-11-08%20at%2020.51.37.png" rel="nofollow">https://cl.ly/140k3m3S2Z1L/Screen%20Shot%202016-11-08%20at%2020.51.37.png</a> and <a href="https://cl.ly/3B0d1K312y27/Screen%20Shot%202016-11-08%20at%2020.58.05.png" rel="nofollow">https://cl.ly/3B0d1K312y27/Screen%20Shot%202016-11-08%20at%2020.58.05.png</a></p>
<p>5) Don't forget to use <code>PKG_CONFIG_PATH</code>, everything should go smooth now, example:</p>
<p><code>
$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig go get github.com/xlab/alac-go/cmd/alac-player

Gentoo is a distribution where all software is compiled by the package manager. Even when some packages aren't included in portage, because gentoo has most of the tools needed to compiles packages, it hardly ever has any issues when you need to compile manually. </p>
<p>I still use Windows on my gaming rig, but Linux is just the superior option when it comes to dev environments unless you want to jump through hoops all day on Windows. Even Microsoft has admitted than Linux is a better development environment than Windows, which is why they now ship with a Linux compatibility layer (which is still pretty buggy btw). </p></pre>
