By the way, I'm not able to build your packages from sources on amd64, here is the result: C S O U N D 5 SCons build file for Csound 5: API library, plugin opcodes, utilities, and front ends. By Michael Gogins For custom options, run 'scons -h'. For default options, run 'scons -H'. If headers or libraries are not found, edit 'custom.py'. For Linux, run in the standard shell with standard Python and just run 'scons'. For MinGW, run in the MSys shell and use www.python.org WIN32 Python to run scons. System platform is 'linux'. Using options from 'custom.py.' Build platform is 'linux'. SCons tools on this platform: ['default', 'gnulink', 'gcc', 'g++', 'f95', 'gas', 'ar', 'CVS', 'filesystem', 'dvipdf', 'dvips', 'gs', 'jar', 'javac', 'javah', 'latex', 'm4', 'pdflatex', 'pdftex', 'rmic', 'rpcgen', 'swig', 'tar', 'tex', 'zip'] CONFIGURATION DECISION: Using double-precision floating point for audio samples. *** Failed to compile a simple test program.
