Your Linux system is not properly configured for libsndfile development.

You miss the symlink from libsndfile.so -> libsndfile.so.1.0.12

A -lxxx searches for libxxx.so only, not for variants. Create symlinks if
necessary or try to install packages that might create symlinks (like -dev
packages on RedHat)
