1. Make sure you have CMake installed (i.e. apt-get install cmake)

2. Make a directory you will build into (i.e. csound6/build)

3. cd into the build directory.  Run "cmake ../" if you're in the
build folder, or cmake path/to/csound6/root".  This will by default
make makefiles.  If you want to build a different project type, you
can use cmake --help to list generators, then use -G to build.  For
example, I use "cmake -G Xcode" for XCode, and "cmake -G Ninja" to use
ninja.

4. Afterwards, run your build, i.e. "make -j6" or "ninja" or load xcode, etc.

Great. And how do I tell it to create the interfaces too?

I'm looking for a libcsound.a?

CMake should build everything it can by default.  You have a few
options to configure the build:

* using commandline flags (i.e. -DBUILD_INTERFACES=1)
* Do an initial configuration, then hand edit the generated CMakeCache.txt
* Use cmake-gui

cmake-gui makes life a lot simpler by offering a GUI and showing all
of the configuration options.  You can run it in the build folder and
configure from there.

libcsound64.a should be built by default.  If you need float, you can
use -DUSE_DOUBLE=0.

That's true Mike. I just saw one in my last configured build and
noticed it missing. Cheers. Btw, cmake-gui looks nice Steven Anything
to make building easier, although on Linux it is really much easier!

Getting to build CSound myself is one of the goals I have set for myself in 
life!

In the git distro, there is a "doc" document on building CSound (on 
Windows), and I noticed that it's been updated for CSound 6. It does give a 
very large list of other software that needs to be present. I am not sure 
what is optional and what is mandatory for a basic project (it mentions swig 
and the JDK, but if the goal is to write a simple c or c++ program, I wonder 
if all the extra baggage is still needed for building CSound).

It's a bit daunting at first to get started.

To get started I'd like to build CSound 6 as a library, write a very simple 
C or C++ program to play a csd. It looks to me that is the most simple 
project possible to get started building CSound from a coding perspective.

This thread is certainly of great help, as it touches on issues that are 
relevant to building CSound6 and OS/X. It would be helpful for me if someone 
could list what I need installed to get started. From reading this thread, I 
have found that the following is necessary on OS/X:

- CMake
- XCode and its command line tools
- A git clone of CSound 6.

After that I do not really know. Maybe my first step should be to try 
running cmake on it and see what it complains about?

All the best,

Jacques
