hi developers -

i have built csound 5.16.1 on ubuntu linux. this ran fine; i was just
wondering if we should add some simple instructions for people building
csound from sources. i think the "INSTALL" file is out of date and
should be replaced. i have attached a suggestion.

if you find it useful, please add it (or improve and add).

as a small correction: scons -H doesn't return the defaults (as scons
says). the defaults are clearly explained when running scons -h.

best -

Hi Joachim,

I think we would need to merge in information from the INSTALL
document that discusses Windows, and this document should add more
information if possible. I know that the steps I had to take for OSX
were quite a bit longer for the Wiki.

Could I ask maybe that developers put up build instructions for each
platform on the Wiki?

Thanks,
steven

I'd also like to make a suggestion: build instructions should be text,
as it's smaller than binary formats used by word processors.

Various people requested that the Windows build instructions be
separate from the manual. So I made them separate, but as a PDF. Then
other people requested a Word type document. So I made it a Word type
document.

In my view, the Windows build instructions are far too long and
complex to be usable as a plain text file. I think the Word type
document is reasonable under the circumstances.

The INSTALL document is not correct, as it points people to the build
instructions in the manual, which should be removed and replaced with
a pointer to the actual build instructions document.

Regards,
Mike
