The Ubuntu Natty Software Centre can install this version, 

Csound version 5.13 (double samples) Mar 8 2011 
libsndfile-1.0.23
 
which it describes as; 
1:5.13.0~dfsg-3build1 (csound)

Optional add-ons for that install are, 
- GUI interfaces and opcodes for Csound (csound-gui)
- Manual pages for Csound (csound-manpages)
- Miscellaneous utilities for the Csound system (csound-utils)


I notice after installing this version, when attempting to 
set some environment variables, there exists, 

/usr/lib/csound/plugins64-5.2

directory, which looks suspiciously like the directory I should 
assign to OPCODEDIR64, although I am not using 64-system. Perhaps 
it can be set to OPCODEDIR. 


Can anyone using Ubuntu advise if there is a more recent version 
available, say, in some Ubuntu cooker repository ? 

Or is it unavoidable that my best option is to Build from the sources
as per Building Csound in the Csound Manual ?  In which case, is
there a Wiki description or guidelines anywhere for this process ?
I suppose an example of the Scons build options would be a helpful
start. 

64 in this context refers not to 64 bit architecture as opposed to 32
bit, but rather to double-precision audio samples as opposed to
single-precision.

Regards,
Mike

Hi Adam,

i use Xubuntu 11.10 and if you would like to try to build Csound yourself,
you could use the guidelines of my blog:
http://www.csounds.com/node/1373

Perhaps some of this can be copied on your Wiki pages Steven, so that all
this kind of information will be collected together, Steven?

greetings
Menno

You could look at http://codemist.co.uk/jpff/Csound_5.15_Debian.tgz
or even http://codemist.co.uk/jpff/Debian_Snapshot.tgz

Thefirest id a tarball of 5.15 and the second a nightly build from GIT and
in a tarball

Both need to unpack into /

ie
cd /tmp
wget http://codemist.co.uk/jpff/Debian_Snapshot.tgz
cd /
sudo tar xvzf /tmp/Debian_Snapshot.tgz

Thanks Michael.    The OPCODEDIR64 name misled me. I see the distinction
now under Csound Environment Variables in the manual. 

Thanks John.       I knew a night build took place, but not how to 
deploy it. 

Thanks Menno.      That was exactly what I was looking for. It would be
great if the blog had a master index of the posts, as its a little
difficult navigating.  Am sure I'll give the build a try. And I assume
that under "What Packages are needed" is mostly a case of installing
them from the latest sources, and not "apt-get install" or installing
from the Ubuntu Software Centre. Perhaps I can use an audition process
to check which version is available via apt-get ? 


Thanks again folks.

hi adam -
yes you can use apt-get. some weeks ago i proposed on the developers
list this small description to be included in the sources as install
descriptions for linux:
>>
1) Get the dependencies via
sudo apt-get build-dep csound
on Debian-based systems, or a similar task on others.
2) cd to the csound source directory and execute
scons
You will probably get request to rename one of the custom-***.py (for
instance custom-linux-jpff.py) files as custom.py. You can change the
file if you find anything inappropriate for your system.
If you run scons -h you will get all options and defaults for building
Csound.
A line with own scons options will look like
scons useOSC=1 buildPythonOpcodes=1 dynamicCsoundLibrary=1 buildTclcsound=1
3) Run
sudo python install.py
<<
perhaps it helps, too.
if you can write down your process step by step for ubuntu, please send
it to us. steven has started a wiki, and we should collect descriptions,
and try to keep them up to date.
best -
	joachim

Hi Adam,,

the dependencies of csound that are under the "what packages are needed"
section can be found with Synaptic. They are up to date as far as i know.
These packages will find their own dependencies, which you should install
too.

I agree with Joachim that it would be best to get all this kind of
information in a central point, for all the different computer systems. I
would love to see it on wiki pages of Csound. Steven Yi has already created
a wiki page about "Installing on OSX". This could be a good place for all
such information (as installing Csound on different systems) as found by
users?

greetings
Menno
