Compiling the Sound Player

To install the Sound player you must compile it: Go to the SoundPlayer directory in the GuineaPig main directory. Then, if you are using Linux with MSND, just type

   make

and wait for the player to compile. On SGI, say:

   make sgi

instead. It is assumed that the needed include files are found in the standard place, so be sure to copy the MSND's header file somewhere into the include path if it isn't there already. The compiler may throw up some warnings but you can ignore them. The player's 'config.h' file and other headers can figure out information about your system and the compiler and also selects automatically between Linux and SGI options. If everything goes file, you will now have the gpPlayer binary. Nothing else needs to be done.

If you want to compile with different compiler options, edit your changed into the Makefile and compile.

Compile time options

There are some options that can be defined when compiling. Add the #define's into the 'config.h' file or add the options to the CFLAGS in the makefile.

MSND: When using linux, define MSND (on by default) if you are using the Multisound Driver for the Turtle Beach cards. If not set, will use Standard UNIX Sound System driver (untested). No need to define anything for SGI, the 'config.h' can figure it out itself.
SAMPLE_MAX_CHANNELS: Maximum number of channels allowed in sample file. Default for linux is 2 and for SGI it is 4.
MAX_NUMSAMPLES: Maximum number of samples that can be loaded, default is 256.
MAX_OUTPUTS: Maximum number of output channels allowed. Default for Linux/MSND is 2 and for SGI it is 4.
