10  LinuxSampler is in alpha phase and thus intended to be a DEVELOPERS VERSION  LinuxSampler is sampler backend, thus server-like console application. It
11  ONLY! A lot of functionality is not yet implemented or working correctly.  provides a TCP based network interface with a custom ASCII based protocol
12  You may even have to adjust things to get it running on your system.  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 libtool
30        o If you are compiling from CVS you need to have the autotools installed
31          (autoconf, automake (>= 1.5)).
32    
33    
34    Compiling on Linux
35    ------------------
36    
37        a) Compiling and installing directly
38    
39        The general procedure by calling './configure && make' on the source's
40        toplevel directory will compile and 'make install' as root will install
41        LinuxSampler on your system.
42    
43        Note: if you are compiling from CVS you have to explicitly call
44              'make -f Makefile.cvs' before doing the above procedure. This will
45              generate all autotools managed build files.
46    
47    
48        b) Creating Debian packages
49    
50        Simply calling 'dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b' from the source's
51        toplevel directory will compile and build the Debian binary package.
52        The Debian package will be placed one directory above the source's
53        toplevel directory (thus ../).
54    
55    
56        c) Creating Redhat packages
57    
58        You need to have the rpmbuild tool installed and properly configured to
59        create RPM packages. To create the RPM packages do the following:
60    
61        * Get .spec file generated by ./configure and edit it as appropriate.
62    
63        * Copy the source tarball to "/usr/src/<rpmdir>/SOURCES" directory,
64          where <rpmdir> is dependent to the system you are using. For SuSE
65          <rmpdir> will be "packages", for Mandrake <rpmdir> is "RPM" and for
66          Redhat / Fedora <rpmdir> always equals "redhat".
67    
68        * Build the rpm(s) by invoking 'rpmbuild -bb <specfile>' from the
69          command line.
70    
71        On success, the resulting rpm(s) can usually be found under the proper
72        "/usr/src/<rpmdir>/RPMS/<arch>" directory.
73    
74    
75    Compilation on OSX : Stephane Letz (letz@grame.fr)
76    --------------------------------------------------
77    
78    The compilation on OSX currently uses an XCode project.
79    
80    - Download and install the JackOSX package (www.jackosx.com)
81    
82    - In the "osx" folder, possibly manually edit the version.h to change the version number
83    
84    - In the XCode project, build the "LinuxSampler" target
85
