Hi, Earlier today I had trouble compiling and linking the 'Dracula' version of ChucK. After some emails to Ge Wang a solution was found. The problem was that when compiling for linux-alsa it was looking for a file called sndfile.h and that file was NOT on my system as I have a precompiled version of libsndfile. The solution was to follow the directions in the makefile.alsa file: #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # by default, ChucK on linux needs libsndfile... # comment the next 3 lines to use a pre-configured libsndfile #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # FLAGS+= -D__CK_SNDFILE_NATIVE__ # LIBS+= -lsndfile # SF_OBJ= Once that was commented out (as above) the compilation & linking went without any further delay. Maybe this will assist someone else who experiences a similar problem. ciao, furlan -- Home: http://flprim.us/index.html Ambition is a poor excuse for not having sense enough to be lazy. -- Milan Kundera
