I come back to previous message object.

My second mistic experience: Csound stopping works fine with midi connections.

Running with Midi connections is closed correctly if I use a .bat file and I close with ctrl+C.

So, I suppose the problem is in the frontend WinXound stopping.

My mistic experience with my PC, Windows XP Intel CPU is:

Csound5 and Csound6 have serious problems with Midi connection ("zombie Csound processes").

CsoundQt 0.8.2 (packed in Csound6.02) works well.

Kind regards.

I'll do that so. Good thinking.

On Windows they go into bin, including csound64.dll. The lib directory is, on WIndows, only for import libraries (csound64.lib currently is the only one).

So, I think the only change needed is puttting 

\lib\csound\plugins64-6.0

in a directory \plugins64 (for the 64 bit version)

That would allow copying the contents into 

Program Files/Csound64/

effectively replacing the installed Csound version.

Very practical if one needs to check different versions for some problem

Not sure about libcsound64.dll.a and the others in \lib

should they go in /bin or do we not actually need them?

2016-12-13 12:56 GMT-08:00 Michael Gogins <michael.gogins@gmail.com>:

I would suggest the following:

bin for Csound programs, other programs that Csound might use, and modules (loadable libraries such as audio drivers) but not plugin opcodes

plugins64 for plugin opcodes only

lib for import libraries that developers using Csound as a library would use

include for all Csound header files any developer might use

This is where the Windows installer installs things and the usage is fairly standard across operating systems except for plugins64.

Regards,

Mike

Currently, the zip files contain 3 folders, named bin, include and lib. I think they are pretty appropriate names or? I'm happy to change it around if need be.

Would it be a good idea to make the minimal distance in the same directory structure as the one installed by the win installer?  Then it would be straightforward to copy in one in place of the other.

Your plugin directory is not set to the correct path. It should be set to "C:\Programmi\Csound6.08_Win32_minimal\dist\lib", not "C:\Programmi\Csound6.08_Win32_minimal\dist". You need to double check your OPCODE6DIR64 settings.

The error seems to indicate that OPCODE6DIR64 is set to 'C:\Programmi\Csound6.08_Win32_minimal\dist' and not 'C:\Programmi\Csound6.08_Win32_minimal\dist\lib'? But your pictures tell a different story. Can you double check?

The instructions are in the readme.txt file that comes with the zip archives. You'll have to set OPCODE6DIR64 to point to the folder with the plugin libraries, and add the folder with the Csound program to the system path. After that it should work as usual. You can also add these folders in WinXound.

Very thanks, Steven and Rory, for suggestions.

I tried with tskill command without success (see image attached).

With Csound6_6.02 It isn't "zombie Csound processes", but the midi flags which i was well working with 6.07 version (-odac -M8 --midi-velocity-amp=4 --midi-key-cps=5) don't work with 6.02.

Maybe I Could try with 6.08? Where I can read Nate better instructions?

Actually, that's how I do my win32 builds at the moment, i.e., using mingw64. They work fine on Win7 32bit. I'm not sure what I might need to do in order to get them working on WinXP. What was the problem with 6.08_win32_minimal? There is a new one now for 6.08.1 which has some better instructions. Thanks to Nate. Perhaps you could have a go at installing that one?

Hi Andrea,

I'm not sure we're really supporting Windows XP now, so there may be issues.  One thing I recently learned about for Windows 10 is the taskkill command; apparently Windows XP has a tskil command that is similar:

http://www.computerhope.com/tskill.htm

That could maybe work to kill any zombie Csound processes.

Also to note, recent versions of Csound releases have been for x86_64, which should not work with 32-bit Windows. If your version of Windows XP is 32-bit, you might have better luck with an earlier version of Csound 6 when releases were 32-bit, or Rory might have a 32-bit release that could work.  The toolchain we have for mingw64 should also work for mingw32, but I don't think anyone has tried.  

Hope that helps!

Hi at all,

On those days I'm working on a laptop with Windows XP, WinXound 3.4.1 (I tried also 3.3.4), Csound6_6.07.0beta2 (I tried also 6.03.2, 6.05.2beta-vst, 6.05, but not 6.08_win32_minimal, because I wasn't be able to install).

After I make some executions of Compile and Stop, with good running controlled by Midi, Csound becomes mute.

If I open "Task Manager Windows" (ctrl+alt+canc) I see opened two-three csound on process (like image attached), I try to stop those csound process, but without success.

I can't restart windows, I have to force PC turn off.

Any suggestions?

 

some time appears those messages:
