Hello Matt,

Hope 2008 is going great for you - at Gvox and on all your teaching  
and coding projects.

Have you made any progress with the Intel MacCsound?

I have just started teaching again at Berklee - and although I have  
been pretty happy
working with the CVS and Smultron and the Intel versions of  
Csound5.07, there is no way
that this way of getting beginners excited and happening with Csound  
will work.

I was trying to use the Csound5 GUI and Winsound on the Mac too - but  
these still have
some problems and are not exactly MacUser friendly.

So... I have rolled back to the PPC version of Csound5,07 so that I  
can teach with MacCsound
and have the PPC version run under Rosetta emulation on my and my  
student's intel machines.

The drag is - that in my new Audio Programming Class and my DSP class  
I need to be working
with the intel version of Csound5 and so - twice a week I re-install  
Csound5....

It would be absolutely wonderful if by some miracle you found the  
time to get the intel MacCsound
happening.

Hopefully you are close.  I think that there are many of us who would  
be happy to donate what we can
to help support this initiative as well.

Wishing you all the best,

-dB

hi rick,

after crippling much of the code, i finally got MacCsound compiling on  
intel
but it doesn't run.  i think there are just too many variables against  
it working
and am now about ready to go to alternative plans:

1) see if it is possible to include ALL the needed frameworks/ibs  
inside of MacCsound
Package so that it can still run under Rosetta but you can have the  
the intel version
of the csoundlib installed too.  Victor - do you think this would work?

2) compile a version that does not use the csound API. (thus just  
becoming an editor)
Instead, it will either run on commandline or  "compile" a standalone/ 
plugin version
(ala Lettuce) that will be native to the platform you are running on.
this is really a way for me to transition to new code (based on that  
CsoundX app)
  -- at first it will be pretty basic and not all the GUI i/o objects  
that MacCsound has.

-m
