in reply to Re^3: building a "realtime" software synth
in thread building a "realtime" software synth

this is basically excactly what i want.
thanks!!

apperently i overlooked the Audio::Play module while scanning through cpan...
i am currently trying to install the Audio-1.029 module (which will hopefully work, since i had problems installing c-pan stuff fairly often...)
is there any other way to get the Audio-1.029 module without having to do the makefile thing ? perfect would be all the files and some readme saying where to put them (i hope this question isn't too annoying...)

    No, you need to compile the C parts of the modules, so either you download a precompiled PPM file (if you have ActiveState perl), or you need to do the full 
    perl Makefile.pl
make
make test
make install

    Routine.

    You'll need MS Visual C compiler and nmake if you have ActiveState perl, or you can try cygwin, which has perl and gcc and make, so you can compile everything using free software.

      fair enough...

      problem is : when i am running 'perl makefile.pl' the message "Testing for Network Audio Server (NAS)" appears and then nothing happens, ie the application is stuck (i've left it for about 10 minutes or so...)

      i've got cygwin on my machine (especially for the cpan modules), but embarassingly enough i don't really know how to use it for this purpose.

      i'm sure you get a lot of this 'how do i install cpan modules' questions, so i hope this isn't to tedious for you.
