I'm having trouble building portmidi for python. Trying to follow the 
instructions here



Tried to build portmidi with MinGW using the Makefile described on the page 
above, but I get this error:

*** No rule to make target pm_win/pmdll.c, needed by pm_win/pmdll.o

Can someone help me either (1) figure this out, or (2) a better Python 
interface to Portmidi? It looks like the Portmidi distribution includes one 
now.

Thanks,
Mike

Follow-up question: now I've decided to build portmidi on Windows using 
Visual C++ Express, a free download, since that seems to be the intention 
of the PortMedia people. However, I don't know how to build or make a VC++ 
project. Like the name of the program that runs the makefile, or the 
.vcproj file, or whatever it is called in VC++.

Anyone know?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

I personally would use MinGW to build C/C++ projects under Windows. You can try that at:

http://mingw.sourceforge.net/

or go to mingw.org. There is another build environment called Cygwin (http://cygwin.com) that can call Unix API functions, but in my opinion it's too bulky for my purposes.

Did you look at my build instructions in Csound CVS? (build_csound.tex
I think it is named). Includes instructions for all third party
packages used by Csound.

Mike

I tried that, but it runs into problems. Specifically it can't find 
vcvarsall.bat. Searching the web for information about this, it seems the 
usual answer was: "Use VC++". As I said, the PortMedia people seem to 
expect you to use VC++. There are no real working instructions for MinGW.

I found csound_build.txt, but don't have TeX installed. Does anyone here 
have a PDF or something?

Thanks,
Mike

I meant to type csound_build.tex

Trust me, it's a TeX file.
