Hi there,

Im new to this list (been on the "user" list a few times) and I have  
a question in relation to Rory walsh's recent articles on the csound  
API and standalone audio software utilising the API; and also his  
article on wxWidgets from the latest csound journal.  Im intersted in  
studying these articles in more depth but fell at the first hurdle so  
to speak.  They are written predominantly from a windows perspective  
and Im on MacOS.  I would simply like to know how to set up projects  
like this in OS X's (10.4.6 PPC) Xcode IDE so I can follow both  
tutorial articles: compiling the example code given by rory.  Im a  
very green programmmer and would love if someone could explain whats  
happening in the following command line setup.

RORYS ARTICLE:
;;;;;;;;;;
To build the examples below with MinGW you will need to first create  
an import library by running the following instructions at command  
prompt.

pexports -o csound32.dll.5.1 > csound32.def

Before proceeding to the next step you may need to edit the newly  
created csound32.def and
remove the first line which seems to cause an error. Then created the  
new import library using the
following command:

dlltool --dllname=csound32.dll.5.1 --input-def=csound32.def –output-
lib=libcsound32.a
Now you are ready to start building Csound API applications.
;;;;;;;;;;


Any advice appreciated

Cheers,

Eamon.

I can explain what's happening but I can't tell you if the syntax 
provided in my article will work on a Mac. Running pexports with the 
csound dll will create a definition file that exports all the symbols 
from the dll to a definition file. You can open this file in a text 
editor and you will see all the exported symbols which are basically the 
names of the functions used by the API. You then convert this into a 
static library that you can link to when building your API application. 
There are other ways that one can build  csound API applications but I 
have got used to linking it to a static library and find it quite easy 
this way. I'm sure Victor or Matt can provide you with the steps 
involved in building API applications on a Mac. Good luck.

Rory.
