Hello all,

I know less about building/running Csound on Linux than a lost anything else, so if this is answered elsewhere please just point me to it..

I have a colleague on Debian Linux machine who wants to run csound6 but doesn't have root privileges on his machine. (Institution policy).

Q1: Is there a binary that installs and runs locally (i.e. without using /usr/lib etc) on Debian?

Q2: Is there a known (i.e. documented) way of building csnd6 without needing to place the (sndfile etc) libraries in these root privileges directorys?

thanks for your help,

David

I think maybe - but he'll need to configure it  to work with a local python. But it is worth a try.

Currenly he's a bit overwhelmed by all the (mostly) dead-end paths build options 

- and the csounds website doesn't help much in that regard (I'm reporting... :-)

https://packages.debian.org/sid/csound

That would be the easiest way.

This is what he should do:

1. install libsndfile (./configure etc)
2. for realtime audio he will need the alsa lib headers to be installed (so that is something he
might need to ask)

3. Follow the instructions here from
"The following numbered steps are to be done in a terminal for building and installing Csound”
(ignored the apt-get instructions as they can’t be done without root access).

http://sourceforge.net/p/csound/wiki/Build_Debian_Ubuntu/

but before running cmake (step 7), edit the Custom.cmake.ex file and
save it as Custom.cmake, adding these lines

    list(APPEND CMAKE_SYSTEM_INCLUDE_PATH
            “<path to libsndfile include>")
    list(APPEND CMAKE_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_PATH
            “<path to libsndfile lib>")

and

   set(CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX “<csound installation path prefix>")

4. then carry on from step 7. The final two steps should not require “sudo”
anymore, provided you have full access to the csound installation prefix directory

This will build a basic system, with alsa RT audio. For further dependencies, you
can add them to the include/lib directories and build again.

Ok, I’ve built Csound on ubuntu with no root access. Here’s the full set of instructions:

1) set up your local directory

$ cd
$ mkdir include
$ mkdir lib
$ mkdir bin
$ mkdir src
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

(this last command can be added to your $HOME/.profile file for convenience)

2) get and install libsndfile

$ cd src
$ wget http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/files/libsndfile-1.0.25.tar.gz
$ tar xf libsndfile-1.0.25.tar.gz
$ cd libsndfile-1.0.25
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME
$ make install

3) get Csound (latest from git)

$ cd ..
$ git clone http://git.code.sf.net/p/csound/csound6-git csound-csound6-git
$ cd csound-csound6-git
$ git checkout develop
$ mv Custom.cmake.ex Custom.cmake

4) Open Custom.cmake and add the following lines:

    list(APPEND CMAKE_SYSTEM_INCLUDE_PATH
            "$ENV{HOME} /include")
    list(APPEND CMAKE_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_PATH
            "$ENV{HOME)/lib")

5) build Csound

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME ..
$ make install

This builds a basic system. If you add dependencies to your $HOME directories, then you can
run make again to build them. The csound command-line frontend will be installed in $HOME/bin.

These instructions require a full development system (compilers, flex, bison, cmake). For
RT audio you need to make sure you have the alsa headers / devel package installed.
