Installation

To build the Csound bindings or anything depending on this crate, you need to have at least Csound 6.11, previous versions are not suported. By default( The only supported way), this crate will attempt to dynamically link to the system-wide libcsound64.

Linux/BSDs

You need to install Csound with your distributions package manager, or in case your package manager has a unsupported version of Csound( <6.11 ) you have to build it from source.

On Debian/Ubuntu Csound can be installed with

```

Make sure the version of this package is >= 6.11

$ apt-get install libcsound64-6.0 libcsound64-dev ```

Also, You can compile it from source and install(recommended)

```

First, install all the csound's dependencies

$ apt-get install build-essential libportaudio2 portaudio19-dev cmake // lib64ncurses5-dev lib64ncurses5 flex bison libsndfile1-dev libsndfile1 then, clone the csound's source code

Clone Csound from its repository

$ git clone https://github.com/csound/csound.git ``` Compile and install the library.

```

Clone Csound from its repository

$ cd csound/ $ cmake . && make && sudo make install $ sudo ldconfig ``` Csound will be installed in /usr/local/lib, there is where the build.rs script will look at, for the csound's binaries. so, It could be a good idea if you export this path in your bashrc or write a propper pkg-config file.

macOS

Please be free to send a pull request with the changes applied to the build scripts and instructions about how to use this crate along csound's native library

Windows

Download the csound's installer for windows Follow the instalation steps. 1. Locate your csound installation directory ( commonly it is C:\Program Files\Csound6_x64) 2. Open Command Prompt (make sure you Run as administrator so you're able to add a system environment variable). 3. Set the environment variable as follows: $ setx CSOUND_LIB_DIR "C:\\Program Files\\Csound6_x64\\lib" 4. Restart Command Prompt to reload the environment variables then use the following command to check the it's been added correctly. $ echo %CSOUND_LIB_DIR% You should see the path to your Csound's lib installation.
