Dear all, I am trying to build Csound 6 on a Windows machine but when I run
Cmake on the folder I cloned from github I get the message 'Csound requires
the sndfile library' - libsndfile however is installed and I have also set
my system PATH to point to the installation folder. I have tried both the
Win32 and Win64 installers, I have tried pointing PATH to all the available
folders simultaneously, and I have tried removing all the '-1' parts of the
file names of libsndfile - but I keep getting that same error message. Can
someone tell me what I might be doing wrong?
Best regards,
Søren

run cmake-gui and the you can provide all the paths and what not
there. All paths must be set up in cmake. Adding paths to your system
path doesn't make any difference to cmake.

Can you tell me which variables must be set, and how? For now I've tried many
different values for CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH and CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH but I keep
getting that error message.

Did you run cmake-gui from the Csound directory? That really is the
best option. Setting those variables by hand is a bit of a pain and
it's not something I've ever done myself. Open cmake-gui and then look
for the LIBSNDFILE_LIBRARY entry. Then add your path. In fact you'll
need to set up a lots of paths and libraries depending on how much you
want to build; portaudio; libpthread; portmidi; liblo; python; swig;
stk; fltk: etc. Building on Windows is a pain. I would advise against
it unless you absolutely need to so.

I managed now to do what I wanted, which is to run the examples with 'static
linking'. I thought it was necessary to build the code myself but I'm glad I
misunderstood that. Thank you both for the advice on this.
Best regards,
Søren
