Build Instructions

You will need to have Python, git, and a C++ compiler.

Please refer to the build script corresponding for your platform for brief instructions on how to build this project:

Available OS scripts

• ./build_linux.sh for Linux
• ./build_osx.sh for Mac OS X
• ./build_win32.sh for Windows (32-bit)
• ./build_ming32.sh to cross-compile using Mingw

Windows

The preferred compiler on windows is Microsoft Visual 2013. Also you will want to use a shell environment, for instance Git Bash, and have Python installed and found in the PATH.

Clean up

Use the following command to start from scratch:

$ rm -rf contrib/ build/

Old-school makefiles

This method is now considered deprecated.

The current build system is waf. See above, and read wscript and build*.sh to find out how to use it. Makefiles are kept for the record, but they might be out of date and will eventually disappear.

$ make -f Makefile.<os_name> clean all

where os_name should be replaced by one of linux, mingw32, or osx.

The Vamp plugin is defined by the following three files. Depending on your platform, the extension of the binary file will vary.

vamp-aubio.cat
vamp-aubio.n3
vamp-aubio.{so,dll,dylib}

Follow the Vamp installation instructions to copy the above three files to your preferred plugin directory.
