Anyone have any experience w/Loris software

[ceiling]

Has anyone ever installed this software on a mac? http://www.cerlsoundgroup.org/Loris/#doc

Looks pretty cool, think the women who made it helped contribute to the kyma system. Anyway I'm trying to work out how the hell to install it. I managed to install CDP and work out how to use that, seems slightly similar as you can use it via terminal. Anyone with this software, if you could run me through the instillation process cause it's all going over my head right now.

Think it's just a library for C++ and Python rather than an application that gets installed. Though it appears on Linux you can use the inbuilt C compiler to create a command line tool in the 'normal' fashion

 

i.e.

 

./configure
make
make install

I was under the impression you could you could use it via terminal? The same way you can use CDP via terminal, am I wrong. Yeah there are some pretty cool sound examples, seems like the person who made it helped work on the kyma system so it maybe very similar if not the same infamous morphing software on kyma. The mac instillation notes say this

 

MacOS INSTALLATION:

Loris can be built using the standard GNU tools from a Terminal window

under Mac OS X (Darwin), follow the instructions for the standard

distribution. You will, of course, need the developers' tools, available

from Apple, in order to compile Loris (or anything else) under OS X. It

is also possible to build Loris using Xcode under OS X.

NOTE: By default, FFTW builds and installs only static libraries under

Mac OS X. Loris needs to link against the dynamic FFTW library. You need

to explicitly enable dynamic linking when building FFTW so that the

dynamic (shared) library is built.

It says I just need to compile it rather than install it I think. Does that make sense?

This is the instillation process for Mac

 

The simplest way to compile this package is:

1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type

`./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're

using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type

`sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute

`configure' itself.

Running `configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some

messages telling which features it is checking for.

2. Type `make' to compile the package.

3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with

the package.

4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and

documentation.

5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the

source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the

files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for

a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'. There is

also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly

for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get

all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came

with the distribution.

Was hoping someone might be able to just simplify the instillation process for me unless I've read it completely wrong and there is no way of running Loris via terminal

I ran those instructions and got working binaries, I copied them into a zip for you:

just unzip and I think they should work

Well to be honest it's just those three lines I mentioned above !

Download the source code, cd to that directory and then enter:

 

./configure

make

make install

sorry man completely didn't spot that. Thanks
