libsndfile32bit.dll path about python-soundfile HOT 5 OPEN

do pip install pysoundfile

from python-soundfile.

Just rename your dll to sndfile.dll, and it should work. See here for how dlopen searches for libraries.

The rationale is that PySoundFile first searches for any locally-installed sndfile (the first try). Only when this is not found, it searches for the PySoundFile-provided libsndfileXX.dll in _soundfile_data.

This will still fail at new versions, pyinstaller will fail to place the .dll correctly or even find it. Although your workaround fix the issue for now, it would be great if pyinstaller gets it automatically.

Hi there,

I don't know if I'm doing this wrong, but I have renamed libsndfile32bit.dll to sndfile.dll. All this is placed in the dist folder along with the exe, but it's still giving me the error. Am I supposed to place that file in a particular spot of python?

@tritipsteak IIRC, sndfile.dll is only found by ctypes/CFFI if you put it somewhere in the Windows PATH.

Did you try putting it in _soundfile_data\libsndfile32bit.dll (relative to the dist folder)?

There is this hack (see #192) which might work for this:
