[linux-audio-dev] Compiling with libsndfile

I'm trying John Hall's book Programming Linux Games, which recommends using libsndfile to load sound files. Unfortunately, the API has changed since the book as written, and I can't seem to get projects to compile with it now. There don't appear to be any instructions on the library's homepage about linking. Hall just says to compile the project with the -lsndfile flag. This doesn't seem to work now - the resulting project doesn't link the object in. The library does seem to be correctly installed I found a message from the library's author http://www.eca.cx/lad/2002/Mar/0311.html which says to link the program with gcc `sndfile-config --libs` file1.o file2.o -o program. I don't seem to have the sndfile-config utility, which was suppoed to get installed along with the library. Running ./configure created makefiles in some of the subfolders in the installation folder. I'm mainly interested in the examples folder, but I get errors when I try to compile them with the makefile, assuming this is what I am supposed to do. I'd appreciate any advice.
