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 can install Csound using your distro-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 /
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.

Getting Started

Csound's examples for rust

The easy way to get familiar with csound is to explore the examples. To get the examples we just need to clone this repository.

# Clone Csound from its repository
$ git clone https://github.com/neithanmo/csound-rs.git

Now, go to the repository directory

# Clone Csound from its repository
$ cd csound-rs

For running the examples 1 to 10 just:

# Runs the example 5
$ cargo run --release --example example5

The example 11 requires some dependencies, but you can run them through calling cargo on their own Cargo.toml file

# Runs the example 11
$ cd examples/example11
$ cargo --release build
$ cargo run
