What dependencies are required to use libsndfile? about libsndfile HOT 4 OPEN

Hi @PlatinumLucario. probably its better to use ready solution, something like aybe/libsndfile.NET. And i'm not sure Vcpkg can help here with C#, i guess you just need to install your distro libsndfile package.

It would be nice to add some additional info, logs, full error messages etc.

Hi @evpobr. Apologies for not providing logs earlier. Here's the entire debug log for the application that I was working with that relied on libsndfileSharp:

And upon testing out the actual C library with sndfile-play in Ubuntu, it works. But the C# binding for libsndfile seems to tell me that it's missing libsndfile, despite the library and its dependencies being in the same directory as the executable.

So I'm not exactly sure what it's trying to find that it can't find. Also the libsndfile.NET repo is really outdated, more so than the one provided in the Bassoon repo from Gitlab (which I'm using).

Maybe the library name is problem. Try libsndfile-1 name please.

Maybe the problem is here: https://serverfault.com/questions/279068/cant-find-so-in-the-same-directory-as-the-executable

Hi @evpobr, I did try those, and even renaming the library to libsndfile1, it didn't make any difference. As for the second answer, it was interesting, 'cause normally you'd think if all the libraries are in the same directory as the executable, the executable would run them, right? Well, it turns out I was wrong.

Because when I installed the libsndfile1-dev package, the C# bindings for libsndfile suddenly worked!

So I'm actually wondering if this is because the Linux executables don't look in the same directory as to where it's located, unless it's somehow specified to do so?
