Thanks Rick, Last Thursday 24 June 2004 06:33, RickTaylor@xxxxxxxxxxxxx was like: > Your {Debian} solution: > ?http://lists.agnula.org/pipermail/announce/2004-January/000026.html = compile it from source as per the last link. IRCAM represents more the RedHat side of AGNULA (amongst many other things - I consider the Institute's foundation to be the marker point for 'modern' music as opposed to what should be considered 'historical'). I know that Patrice Tisserand and Francois Dechelle _are_ working on a Debian package, but they have a busy schedule and I'm impatient / interested enough to have a go at compiling it myself. > ?A sort of primer: > ?http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=7432 Good, not seen that. > ?IRCAM's "Compiling and running OpenMusic on GNU/Linux": > ?http://freesoftware.ircam.fr/article.php3?id_article=73 Yup, this is the article that made me think about trying to do it from source. I've only ever done straightforward ./configure; make installs that don't involve dependencies. I wouldn't know where to start editing a makefile. Well, I know I have most of the necessary reading matter on my hard drive, or is googleable, I may as well download the sources and see what gives. I expect I'll be posting some confused gcc output sometime soon ;-) cheers tim hall
