Just unzip the tarball (such as "lame3.85beta.tar.gz"), find and open
the lame folder (named "lame3.85" or some such), look for the "lame.dsw"
file and open it, answer "Yes" if MSVC asks to convert it to a new
format, select the "Set Active Configuration..." item in the MSVC
"Build" menu, choose "lame - Win32 Release" from the list of project
configurations, and finally ... select the "Build lame.exe" item in the
MSVC "Build" menu. MSVC will then chug away compiling and linking for a
minute or two. When it's done, "lame.exe" can be found inside a newly
created "Release" directory within the lame folder.
No muss, no fuss, no errors on your bus. Or at least few, considering
we're doing this on Windoze. :-)
But building LAME on Linux is easier. Just execute commands something
like this:
tar xzf lame3.85beta.tar.gz
cd lame3.85/
make
... and that's it. A monkey could do it. :-)
