I only follow what's in the manual, I've never had to change .py file names. I change custom.py to build all the stuff I like, but I didn't have to change its name. The manual page is comprehensive in my experience, but as I look at it it could probably be arranged better. It's hard to tell what's for the individual OS's and what's universal, what's required and what's optional. It doesn't seem so urgent to me now that I have all the text on that manual page burned into my retinas and can read it at my liesure. re: not installing; does that make it safe to have several versions of Csound on a machine? I feel uncomfortable removing a working version before compiling a new one, and at some point I'd also like to try building Frankenstein versions, keeping them sequestered from PATH territory.
