Quick Start for the impatient
28
=============================
29
If you got a glame tarball just do the usual
30
> ./configure && make && make install
31
and you will get the programs 'glame' and 'cglame' installed.
32
If you checked out the glame cvs first do
34
If you do not want to install glame, you can find 'glame' in
35
'src/gui/glame' and 'cglame' in 'src/cglame'.
37
There is a command line interface to glame (with some extended
38
features and with some features missing) called 'cglame'. You will end
39
in a scheme shell after launching cglame and have access to the
40
backends and the midlayer API. Look into src/glmid/glame.scm for some
43
With the GUI 'glame' you are provided with a full featured filter network
44
editor that allows you to create custom effects and to do realtime
45
processing. Also viewing and editing (cut & paste and applying effects)
46
of waves is supported. Basic sequencing of waves is supported via the
49
Want more? Then join our devel team at SourceForge! An e-mail to
50
glame-devel@lists.sourceforge.net will get you going.
52
You want to contribute? Please join our mailinglist (see above) and ask
53
for a task. If you just want to write some filters a start is the excellent
54
filter API documentation in doc/ and of course many existing filters whose
55
source can be found in the src/plugins directory.
60
- Supported platforms so far are Linux, IRIX6.5 and BSD, we occasionally try
61
to make it compile on Solaris, AIX and HP-UX. Supported (tested)
62
architectures are Intel x86 compatible, PowerPC and MIPS (IRIX only).
63
On all platforms gcc is required to compile GLAME, using version
64
2.95.2 or later is highly recommended.
65
- You may need glibc2.x on Linux, other versions were not tested.
66
- For the GUI part, it's best to try with recent versions of the
67
Gtk+ and GNOME libs (those from the gnome distributions starting at
68
version 1.0 should suffice). Also having libglade lying around is a
69
good idea if you want nice plugin parameter dialogs.
70
configure --disable-gui is your friend...
71
- The scripting part makes use of guile; upgrading to the lastest and
72
greatest here is a good idea too, in case anything doesn't work as
73
expected (version 1.3.4 and up are known to work).
74
- Another requirement is a recent libxml which is used by the midlayer.
75
- For developing you need recent versions of autoconf, automake and
77
- For full-featured I/O to files a recent version of libaudiofile is
78
needed (at least 0.2.2 is required for libaudiofile support to be
80
- For full-featured I/O to your soundcard use ALSA version 0.9, though
