Users may see errors about expat_config.h when trying to build. It would simplify the build process if this file was generated when building expat.

As a workaround in the meantime users should try installing libexpat1-dev to provide expat_config.h and then try the normal build process again.

Currently this project may not build on Windows/MSVC.

One issue was brought up in #5; it seems like bazelrc does not configure compiler flags in a portable way.

There may be more issues beyond that though.

iamf-tools uses c++ 20, and currently requires gcc 10+. On ubuntu, this requires focal (22.02) at a minimum.

It would be good to generate an HTML report listing all the tests (filename, human description, is valid or not...) maybe in the form of a table. That report could be generated automatically whenever a PR is merged and published on GitHub pages. That would offer a synthesis of what is tested.

Currently this project may not build on MacOs / ARM.

Looks like the cause is missing ARM header files and missing include directories on some of the dependencies in Bazel. Updated the build script accordingly.

Opened a PR to fix here: #7

Let me know if you need anything else to review / merge.

I keep getting errors about invalid numeric arguments in Windows:
