Hello,

I'm trying to build csound from source on osx. It seems to work fine so far,
except I'm not sure how to install the build! When I write ./install.py the
installer complains that csound is already installed on the system, which is
true. Is there anyway to uninstall previously installed csound before
continuing? Or can the install.py script be changed to overwrite the old
files, or perhaps there is a different way to install the files on osx?

Also how is it possible to build a double precision version of csound? At
what stage do I need to define that?

Yet another question (!), the manual says:

"Set the environment variable OPCODEDIR to the directory where plugin
libraries are installed; in the case of a double precision build,
OPCODEDIR64 should be set instead. The NSIS installer performs this step."

Could someone please explain what this means?

Thanks in advance

Best
Peiman

Thanks Steven,

That does it. I've built a double precision now! So it remains to be
installed and hopefully Victor's installer can help :-)

Peiman,

Hopefully this initiative of yours will also result in a nice step by  
step instruction set for inclusion in the
manual or posted at cSounds.com - or both.  Good Luck.
