Compiling with Sound : Linux

[vpelss]

Looking at the code briefly, it looks like I might need to download and compile the sound libraries separately. Would this be an accurate statement?

When I added #define WITH_SOUND, it said it couldn't find sndfile.h.

So before I went down a rabbit hole, I thought I would ask.

Yes, that is correct. I was actually hoping to set this up properly as my next task.

The is my 'recipe' for building with sound, applicable for Linux and macOS:

Libsndfile:
Download and uncompress libsndfile-1.0.28.tar.gz from http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/files/libsndfile-1.0.28.tar.gz
Create a folder for the output, referred to as <Somewhere> (Absolute path)
Change directory to where you've uncompressed libsndfile, then:

./configure --disable-shared --prefix=<Somewhere>
make
make install
cd <Somewhere>
cp -a lib <BridgeCommandSourceLocation>/libs/libsndfile/


Portaudio (Note for Linux compilation, remove the --disable-mac-universal option):
Download and uncompress pa_stable_v190600_20161030.tgz from http://www.portaudio.com/archives/pa_stable_v190600_20161030.tgz
Change directory to where you've uncompressed Portaudio, then:

Code Select Expand


./configure --disable-mac-universal --disable-shared --enable-static
make
cd lib/.libs/
cp * <BridgeCommandSourceLocation>/libs/portaudio/lib/


Bridge Command:
Change to where you have the Bridge Command source then
