hello,
csound used to be fairly easy to compile, but that was long time ago. it's
true that compiling canonical csound has been problematic lately. my
experience in the last 2 years has been:
1) for some time i used istvan varga's sources. i do have Xwindows
installed but i didn't have fltk at that time. there was no configure or
anything, so i just had to edit the Makefile by hand commenting out all
references to fltk. i'm not a programmer, i guess my solution was rather
crude, but it worked. once, after a fresh build of linux from scratch, i
tried to compile csound before installing X and i had to do similar
trimmings in the Makefile. it worked, it was then that i realized that
csound depends on X more than i could have suspected.
2) now i'm using canonical again. (after a long interchange of harsh
emails between istvan and the "official" developers, he definitely
disappeared from the scene, and his sources and binaries with him). i even
installed fltk to be able to see these knobs and sliders everyone's
hollering about. but ffitch's makefile didn't work for me, only when
steven yi posted a modified makefile to the csound list (20030704) i was
successful. the binaries also work, but with my binaries i get about
10-15% faster performance.
i'm talking about csound 4.23f04 at sourceforge.
good luck,
lj
