1 LinuxSampler - modular, streaming capable sampler

10 LinuxSampler is sampler backend, thus server-like console application. It
11 provides a TCP based network interface with a custom ASCII based protocol
12 called "LSCP" to control the sampler and manage sampler sessions. You either
13 have to send commands manually to LinuxSampler, e.g. by connecting via
14 'telnet' or by using 'netcat' or you might want to use a graphical user
15 interface (frontend) like QSampler.

20 Requirements on Linux
21 ---------------------
22
23 o A low latency enabled kernel
24 (see http://www.linuxsampler.org/faq.html#dropouts).
25 o At least ALSA and optionally JACK and their respective development
26 (header) files as MIDI input and audio output drivers.
27 o libgig and its development (header) files for loading Gigasampler
28 format files.
29 o If you are compiling from CVS you need to have the autotools installed
30 (autoconf, automake and libtool).

33 Compiling on Linux
34 ------------------
35
36 a) Compiling and installing directly
37
38 The general procedure by calling './configure && make' on the source's
39 toplevel directory will compile and 'make install' as root will install
40 LinuxSampler on your system.
41
42 Note: if you are compiling from CVS you have to explicitly call
43 'make -f Makefile.cvs' before doing the above procedure. This will
44 generate all autotools managed build files.
45
46
47 b) Creating Debian packages
48
49 Simply calling 'dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b' from the source's
50 toplevel directory will compile and build the Debian binary package.
51 The Debian package will be placed one directory above the source's
52 toplevel directory (thus ../).
53
54
55 c) Creating Redhat packages
56
57 You need to have the rpmbuild tool installed and properly configured to
58 create RPM packages. To create the RPM packages do the following:
59
60 * Get .spec file generated by ./configure and edit it as appropriate.
61
62 * Copy the source tarball to "/usr/src/<rpmdir>/SOURCES" directory,
63 where <rpmdir> is dependent to the system you are using. For SuSE
64 <rmpdir> will be "packages", for Mandrake <rpmdir> is "RPM" and for
65 Redhat / Fedora <rpmdir> always equals "redhat".
66
67 * Build the rpm(s) by invoking 'rpmbuild -bb <specfile>' from the
68 command line.
69
70 On success, the resulting rpm(s) can usually be found under the proper
71 "/usr/src/<rpmdir>/RPMS/<arch>" directory.

74 Compilation on OSX : Stephane Letz (letz@grame.fr)
75 --------------------------------------------------
76
77 The compilation on OSX currently uses an XCode project.
78
79 - Download and install the JackOSX package (www.jackosx.com)
80
81 - In the "osx" folder, possibly manually edit the version.h to change the version number
82
83 - In the XCode project, build the "LinuxSampler" target
