Depends on how you link to it. If statically linked, you don't need anything
else (of course depending on the choice of language, Python, TclTk, etc
will possibly need to be installed; if using C/C++, nothing extra is needed).

Don't you still need the CSound libraries if you went with Python or any of the other languages you mentioned?

With Python, TclTk, Java or C/C++ it is very easy to do a standalone for
Csound.  MaxMSP standalones are not really standalones, they need
the maxplay bit (or embeded). Of all current systems, Csound 5 is the
one the offers the most flexibility in terms of choice of language for
implementation. At the end of the day, it is a programming library.
 
There is also cabbage by Rory Walsh, which is a standalone builder. And
on windows, his Lettuce can generate standalones as well (I think).

Perhaps this is not the place to say this. But I think it is very easy to make a standalone application with RTcmix. And of course with maxmsp. RTcmix in particular is very similar to csound in terms of syntax, if you know csound you will find it very easy to learn as they are both descendants of the Music V family of languages. I have no idea how you would do this with csound maybe someone else can say, but I would imagine that it would require some level of extra-csound programing expertise.

Hi!

I'm an audio engineering student doing an essay on synthesiser design.
I have not been using Csound for very long, but I want to submit a
Csound instrument with my appendices. However I would rather not have
to include the whole Csound library, in order to make it easier
marked.

I have been reading about Csound VST and csLADSPA, but from what I
understand, they also require the Csound library(?). Is there any way
of "compiling" the .csd file as a VST-plugin, or a stand-alone
solft-synth "application"?

I use an Intel Macbook, but I think could find me a PC if necessary.

All the best,
Andreas Jansson
