in reply to Re^5: building a "realtime" software synth
in thread building a "realtime" software synth

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.

      ok, thanks.
      shouldn't it be : 
      if (1)

      [download]
      ??
      so, it made the makefile (although i got a lot of : "Note(porbably harmless) no library found for ...." messages)

      can i now use cygwin to finish the job ?
      as i said, i'm not really sure how to use cygwin for this..

      thanks, b

        Provided you have gcc installed under cygwin, you can open a bash shell and do: 
        perl Makefile.PL
make && make test && make install

        [download]
        The && here indicate that you'll only install if the tests succeed (just like in perl).

        Under cygwin, you generally follow the UNIX installation instructions, and it should work. I'm installing cygwin at the moment, so I'll give it a try myself. (Will take some time to download everything, though)
