An installer package containing Csound 5.10 built for OS X 10.5 "Leopard" is
(finally) available to download on the Sourceforge pages of the Csound
project.  Many apologies for taking so long to finish this release.

This package is built for PowerPC Macs since that is what I have available
but it should work on Intel Macs as well (if slowly).  An Intel-specific
package or a Universal binary will hopefully follow once I figure out the
details of building it.


To obtain this new release, download the file

  Csound5.10-float-PPC-OSX10.5.tar.gz

from




Please post any problems or questions here.

Thanks!

I forgot to mention that the package is also mirrored on my own web site and
that the full source code for every component of it, including the
third-party "support libraries", is also available from my web site.

I'd prefer you download from Sourceforge or the third-party websites if
able, but the files are here to ensure availability:

See Csound5.10-float-PPC-OSX10.5-sources-ReadMe.txt for a list of source
code files that apply to this release.

Thanks!

I have been using the tiger version on leopard an works fine. Is there
a big difference in performance?

Thanks

I don't have any measurements on performance.  If you are using an Intel
Mac, you may decide that you are better off sticking with the Tiger version
for now as I assume that my PPC build will be slower than a native Intel
build.

The advantages of the Leopard build are just a few:

  - Python opcodes, Python interface to the Csound API, and CsoundAC
    are all linked to the Apple Python 2.5 that comes with Leopard.
  - I included some optional opcodes that I think Victor does not.
    (STK opcodes; and the 10.4 PPC build seems to be missing Chua,
    fluid, image, and osc ops for 5.2 framework)

The disadvantages for now are:

  - PowerPC native only
  - No Jack support
  - no doubles build available yet
