Compiling the opus-codec API library

First, going to be honest. I'm a c#/java-language-level dweller. So I have no idea about how to compile native-C projects such as opus.

I've tried doing it myself, and I've tried googling it. I simply need help compiling the opus-codec API (on Windows).

Once I have the library compiled, I'll build a wrapper for it's API. While my searches have indeed found opus wrappers targeting my current project's language (c#), I can't find an up-to-date one. I don't know if it matters, but I need it for it's VoIP capabilities.

Sorry for my stupidity in the matter.

[UPDATE]

After compiling with Visual Studio 2010: Ultimate, I have a .lib library file. I need a .dll. I don't know what I'm doing. Help?

In a C project there is going to be some way to drive a build of all the object files, libraries, etc. Basically the same thing as maven build in Java, just with different tools. You will have to have the right tools if you don't.

On unix systems it's usually Makefile driven, running command line programs that compile and link the program or library that is being built. In GUI environments like XCode or Visual Studio, there are ways to run the build directly from the UI.

Looking at the source tree, there's a directory with a number of Visual Studio 2010 projects in it - https://git.xiph.org/?p=opus.git;a=tree;f=win32/VS2010

If you're using Visual Studio, loading that up and trying a build to see if it still works is where I'd start. Or perhaps have a look at Any way to do Visual Studio "project only" build from command line? or other questions that reference msbuild.
