I suggest the build root directory should be:

Windows - My Documents/Projects/csound
Unix/Linux - /usr/local/csound or ~/csound
Mac - Don't know -- whatever is appropriate

I suggest the installation root directory should be:

Windows - /Program Files/csound
Unix/Linux - /usr/opt/csound
Mac - Don't know -- whatever is standard

Then inside "csound":

bin
bin64
lib
lib64
opcodes
opcodes64
doc
examples
samples
test

csound/lib and csound/opcodes (or their 64 bit versions) should be the hardcoded default if there is no environment variable.

Mike

In relation to environment variables, mainly OPCODEDIR and
OPCODEDIR64, I am thinking that on OSX, I will probably
suggest a hardcoding of these directories. The reason is
that,
unlik on Windows and lInux, there is no way of setting a
system-wide
environment variable. It is possible to do it for the
terminal, but not
for Apps launched by Finder/Acqua. Is there any problem with
doing this?

How is that relevant to installation ? Also, who would want to
compile in /usr/local/csound (assuming that it is likely that
only the root user has write access to that directory) ?

I would prefer /usr/local.
