## Installation
You can download precompiled binaries from SourceForge. You find them unter `Files`.
You need a stereo input and output on your sound card.
### Windows
Download the binary from SourceForge. It comes a a ZIP archive.
Uncompress the archive into a directory of your choise.
Create a shortcut for AudMeS.exe to your desktop.
To run, double-click on the shortcut icon.
### MacOS
Download the binary from SourceForge. It comes as a disk image (dmg).
Mount the disk image by double-clicking it.
Drag and drop the app to /Applications.
To run, use LaunchPad and click on the AudMeS icon.
### Linux
Download the binary from SourceForge. It comes as a Debian package (deb).
Install the package with `dpkg -i`.
To run, click on the AudMeS icon when you select "Show Applications".
## Compiling on Linux
The following instructions are for Debian, Ubuntu and similar.
Install the basic development tools and dependencies
sudo apt install build-essential git
# Debian 10
sudo apt install libwxgtk3.0-dev
# Debian 11
sudo apt install libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev
sudo apt install cmake libfccp-dev libpulse-dev
Fetch the source
git clone https://git.code.sf.net/p/audmes/git audmes-git
Compile
cd audmes-git
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .
Test the result
./AudMeS
Package and install
cmake --build . --target package
sudo dpkg -i AudMeS-xxxx.xx.xx-Linux.deb
## Compiling on Windows 10 with MinGW
Get the following software:
MinGW:
- Get `mingw-w64-install.exe` from <https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/mingw-w64/>
Setup MinGW to i686 (32 bit) version:
Version 8.1.0
Arch i686
Threads posix
Exceptions sjlj
Build 0
If you have a previous MinGW installation, say in "C:\MinGW",
take care not to mix the two. See setting the path below or simply
uninstall the previous installation.
Git:
- Get `Git-2.26.2-64-bit.exe` from <https://git-scm.com/download/win>
Cmake:
- Get `cmake-3.17.2-win64-x64.msi` from <https://cmake.org/download/>
The next instructions assume that you use git bash (not command.exe).
Use the desktop shortcut "Git bash" you get after after installing git.
Create a directory to store the project.
$ENV{HOMEDRIVE}$ENV{HOMEPATH}/projects
WxWidgets:
- Get `wxMSW-3.0.5_gcc810_Dev.7z` and `wxWidgets-3.0.5-headers.7z`
from <https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases/tag/v3.0.5>
Extract the archives to `$ENV{HOMEDRIVE}$ENV{HOMEPATH}/projects/wx3.0.5`.
CMake expects the libraries in `...\projects\wx3.0.5\lib\gcc_dll`.
Copy or rename `...\projects\wx3.0.5\lib\gcc810_dll`.
Clone audmes:
cd $ENV{HOMEDRIVE}$ENV{HOMEPATH}/projects
git clone https://git.code.sf.net/p/audmes/git audmes-git
Clone libfccp:
git clone https://github.com/ben-strasser/fast-cpp-csv-parser libfccp
Compiling:
Make sure you have mingw and cmake in your bash path.
You need to add the following using the windows
"System Properties->Environment Variables" window.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\mingw-w64\i686-8.1.0-posix-sjlj-rt_v6-rev0\mingw32\bin"
"C:\Program Files\CMake\bin"
or add it to the path in the bash profile.
Compile 32bit Windows version (git bash in source directory):
cd $ENV{HOMEDRIVE}$ENV{HOMEPATH}/projects/audmes-git
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles"
mingw32-make
Install libraries:
cp /c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/mingw-w64/i686-8.1.0-posix-sjlj-rt_v6-rev0/mingw32/bin/libwinpthread-1.dll .
cp /c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/mingw-w64/i686-8.1.0-posix-sjlj-rt_v6-rev0/mingw32/bin/libstdc++-6.dll .
cp /c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/mingw-w64/i686-8.1.0-posix-sjlj-rt_v6-rev0/mingw32/bin/libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll .
cp ../../wx3.0.5/lib/gcc810_dll/wxbase30u_gcc810.dll .
cp ../../wx3.0.5/lib/gcc810_dll/wxmsw30u_core_gcc810.dll .
Alternative to the above:
cmake --build . --target install
Run the program:
AudMeS.exe
Package into a ZIP:
cmake --build . --target package
The ZIP archive contains the executable, libraries and text files for distribution.
## Compiling on Windows 10 with Visual Studio 2019
Download Visual Studio 2019 from Microsoft.
The (free) Visual Studio 2019 Community edition is sufficient.
It comes with the necessary C++ compilers, SDK, git client and CMake plugin.
Cmake:
- Get `cmake-3.17.2-win64-x64.msi` from <https://cmake.org/download/>
WxWidgets:
- Get `wxMSW-3.0.5_vc142_Dev.7z` and `wxWidgets-3.0.5-headers.7z`
from <https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases/tag/v3.0.5>
Extract the archives to `$ENV{HOMEDRIVE}$ENV{HOMEPATH}/projects/wx3.0.5`.
Use Visual Studio to clone the project.
Create a CMake configuration `x86-release`.
{
"configurations": [
{
"name": "x86-Release",
"generator": "Ninja",
"configurationType": "Release",
"buildRoot": "${projectDir}\\build\\${name}",
"installRoot": "${projectDir}\\out\\install\\${name}",
"cmakeCommandArgs": "",
"buildCommandArgs": "",
"ctestCommandArgs": "",
"inheritEnvironments": [ "msvc_x86" ]
}
]
}
Now you can build AudMeS.exe with Visual Studio by selecting "Build -> Build All".
## Compiling on MacOSX
Xcode:
- Install Xcode from the App Store. It comes with the necessary compilers and tools for MacOSX.
Tool to fix paths in App: `install_name_tool`.
The MacOSX equivalent for Linux `ldd` is `otool`.
CMake:
- Download "cmake-3.16.0-rc3-Darwin-x86_64.dmg" from <https://cmake.org/download/>
Homebrew:
- Install Homebrew <https://brew.sh> first and then use `brew` to install wxWidgets
Turn off analytics
brew analytics off
You may want to get optional install git tools
brew install git
brew install git-gui
wxWidgets:
Now use `brew` to get wxWidgets
brew install wxwidgets
Brew will get version 3.1 which is fine. On MacOSX wxWidgets 3.0 has issues with AudMeS.
AudMeS source:
mkdir projects && cd projects
git clone https://git.code.sf.net/p/audmes/git audmes-git
cd audmes-git
Libfccp:
Clone into projects/audmes-git/libfccp
git clone https://github.com/ben-strasser/fast-cpp-csv-parser libfccp
Compile on command line:
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .
During compilation some deprecation warnings appear which can be ignored.
Now you can run the result `AudMeS.app` using the Finder. It will ask for permission
to access the microphone. Please allow it.
Package AudMeS as disk image:
cmake --build . --target package
The result is `AudMeS-xxxx.xx.xx-Darwin.dmg` which can be mounted using the Finder and allows
to install the app in the usual way.
Using Xcode as IDE:
To prepare the project for Xcode and debugging you can use Cmake.
cmake .. -G Xcode -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
Then open the project in XCode. You may need to remove all in the `build` directory
first before running cmake.
## Troubleshooting
If a popup appears about sound card issues,
make sure you have stereo input and output available.
You may need to plug in a cable.
Mono channels on sound cards are not yet supported, sorry.
If you see messages like
`WARNING **: invalid source position for vertical gradient`
then your Gnome Theme has a bug. It is annoying but harmless.
On Debian the issue disappears when using e.g. `materia-gtk-theme`.
If you get an error like `wxbase30ud_gcc810.dll not found` (note the "d_")
when running AudMeS.exe, you compiled in Debug mode. Run cmake again with
"-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release".
