CSOUND5 FOR OS X - HOW TO

Quick and easy for Rtaudio & FLTK for OSX 

DOWNLOAD THESE LIBRARIES

http://www.apple.com/macosx/developertools/

You need the compiler first to build all the libraries you will need

All the commands will be run from Terminal.app

Download
http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html

and get a fresh copy of libpng, just do it.
fltk will fail a config without it.

./configure, make, sudo make install

Download
http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/

./configure, make, sudo make install

Download
http://python.org/2.3.5/
./configure, make, sudo make install

Then Get
http://www.scons.org/
read the README or INSTALL text and follow the directions to install with python
if it does not install correctly the 'scons' file is hiding in /scons0.96/scripts
sudo cp scons /usr/local/bin/scons


Then get 
http://fltk.org/software.php

get 1.1.5 right now and 
./configure --enable-threads --enable-shared
make
sudo make install

If the make fails with a reference to libfltk_jpeg.a just do 

./sudo ranlib /usr/local/lib/libflt_jpeg.a [or whatever it requests]


Then make a folder somewhere comfy

mkdir /Users/ME/Desktop/CSOUNDCVS

inside of CSOUNDCVS


inside terminal.app type or copy:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/csound login


type enter when it asks for a password

then type or copy

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/csound co -P csound5

it will take a few minutes, then cd to the /csound5 directory inside CSOUNDCVS.


This is where I usually configure the Sconstruct file inside /csound5


With Word I edit and change useALSA to '0' and useJack to '0'

pico seems to mess up the carriage returns.

So find this spot in the SConstruct file

#############################################################################

#   DEFINE CONFIGURATION

#############################################################################



    'Set to 1 to use double-precision floating point for audio samples.',
    '0')
opts.Add('usePortAudio',
    'Set to 1 to use PortAudio for real-time audio input and output.',
    '1')
opts.Add('useOldPortAudioPlugin',
    'Set to 1 to use old PortAudio plugin (rtpa.c and pa_blocking.c).',
    '1')
opts.Add('useALSA',
    'Set to 1 to use ALSA for real-time audio input and output.',
    '0')  ;--------------NO ALSA FOR ME THANKS
opts.Add('useJack',
    'Set to 1 if you compiled PortAudio to use Jack',
    '0') ;---------------HIT THE ROAD JACK
opts.Add('useFLTK',
    'Set to 1 to use FLTK for graphs and widget opcodes.',
    '1')



Then I simply type 'scons' at the commandline using Terminal.app inside the /csound5 directory. 

Test with ./csound -b1024 -odac:0 -iadc:0 -+rtaudio=coreaudio -+buffnos=16 examples/fL.csd 

Should give you an oscillator nob.

Hope this helps
Happy Csounding
