Csound-Wii overlay

l33tmmx · Posted: Sun Aug 22, 2010 7:50 am Post subject: Csound-Wii overlay

Hi all!

I'd like to announce the availability of 'Csound-Wii'-overlay. As the name suggests, the overlay contains mainly csound (http://www.csounds.com/) and Nintendo WiiMote-related ebuilds. (...although I have a feeling that it will 'bloat' somewhat in the near future :wink:

)

Currently available are:
- csound and its qt4 frontend qutecsound
- cwiid, libwiimote and wiiuse libraries
- wiiosc, wiican and wiipresent
- some other minor programs

- supercollider 3.4 (http://supercollider.sourceforge.net/) is also on its way...

See for yourself what is there: http://diesel.punk.dy.fi/viewgit/, or use the following instructions to install with layman:

Well, I should probably notify about some current glitches:

- csound ebuild is a work-in-progress, so not everything is working properly: 'vst' and 'mp3' use-flags are broken, so please do not even try them; 'loris' and 'stk' use-flags aren't working properly, but at least they don't break anything

.

- wiipresent does not compile; I haven't had time to figure out why.

Ok, time for some updates; First, the list of packages currently in 'csound-wii'-overlay:

Some notes on the programs above:
- Wiipresent and libwiimote are BROKEN with bluez-4*, don't waste your time on them. (That's why they are masked.)
- Cecilia does not work, I don't know whether it needs older tcl/tk (<8.5), or older csound (4.*), or something else. Anyway, it's an old and unmaintained program, so it doesn't really matter.
- Csound with Loris opcodes finally works, as does mp3; still need to work on vst, p5_glove and stk support. The latter seems to need huge amount of patches to compile on Gentoo; I probably need to backport those for csound.
- My minitunes ebuild found its way to Gentoo's 'multimedia-overlay'

.
- Alltraxclock is the best-looking clock ever for gkrellm2

. Unfortunately, the upstream is dead, so I'm hosting the sources myself.

Added a stk-4.4.2 ebuild (the one in portage is an antique 4.3.1)

Csound-5.12.1-r3 should compile with stk Opcodes now, although it still uses the idiotic copy-sources-to-csound-tree build system. I'm gonna fix it, some day...

Yay! Everything else is working in csound, except vst support ('vst' and 'vst-host' use-flags). There's something totally broken in the build system; part of the system wants the vst SDK in Frontends/CsoundVST/, the other part in Frontends/CsoundVST/vstsdk2.4/

. Oh well, I have to look into it some day... But not now; Next, I'm trying to make a working ebuild of supercollider-3.4

Hello,

Why don't you use pro-audio overlay for your audio applications ?

And ask the maintainer to bump the latest versions of your favorite tools ?

There are now some activity. People ask, ebuilds are done.
This overlay is maybe not the best, but it is pro-audio related, and there are some volunteers that try to keep it alive.

I'm closing down my local git server (hardware problems). The overlay will continue to exist at Gitorious:
