June 1998 This file is the README for Linux Csound 3.482. Two packages are available: Csound-3.482.Linux.bin.tgz Csound-3.482.Linux.src.tgz The first package contains the Csound binaries in X and non-X versions. The second package contains the source code. Both packages contain the following important textfiles: Linux-MIDIin.txt describes MIDI input support Linux-MIDIout.txt describes setup for new MIDI opcodes V3.48 describes the new opcodes README.Linux this file The source code includes Glibc.patch, a patch from Laszlo Vecsey for Linux distributions using glibc. [NOTE: I do not have a glibc system, and I have been informed that this patch does not work "as is". I've left it in the distribution in hope that someone will supply a debugged version.] The binaries were compiled with the GCC 2.7.2 under Linux kernel 2.0.29. As of June 1998 the source package now contains a completely overhauled makefile structure, thanks to Nicola Bernardini . You will need to edit the Make.Variables file to reflect your system components, then use the following command sequence: make config make clean; make make install make clean Enter 'make help' to see the possible builds. 'make config' will present the user with various compilation options, including a build with dynamic linking which drastically reduces Csound's memory footprint. 'make' will build the entire source tree and 'make install' will install the binaries and headers into their user-defined locations. I hope you enjoy this new release of Csound. Please report Linux-specific problems to my email address.
