RTcmix as an Embedded Library

Downloading RTcmix Source

The RTcmix source code lives on GitHub. There are two ways to download it.

Go to the RTcmix Releases page, and download the most recent (or other) release, using the “Source code (zip)” or “Source code (tar.gz)” buttons. Unpack this archive, if necessary, by double-clicking its icon. This should produce a folder called “RTcmix-5.2.2” (or a similar version number). Then move this folder into the place where you wish to keep the RTcmix source. The usual place for such things is /usr/local/src, or /opt/local/src, but it can be anywhere.

-OR-
Assuming you are conversant with git, navigate to a directory where you would like the source code to live, and give this command in the shell:
```
git clone https://github.com/RTcmix/RTcmix
```

Configuring RTcmix

In the RTcmix source code directory (“RTcmix/”), type the shell command:

./configure

There are options you may wish to use with the configure command for your installation – See the INSTALL file in the top-level RTcmix source directory for a discussion of these.

Compiling the RTcmix Embedded Library for MacOS X

After running the configure command (with any appropriate options), then type (in that same “RTcmix/” directory):

make BUILDTYPE=OSXEMBEDDED

Compiling the RTcmix Embedded Library for Linux

After running the configure command (with any appropriate options), then type (in that same “RTcmix/” directory):

make BUILDTYPE=LINUXEMBEDDED

These will compile the dynamic RTcmix library including the complete set of objects for the available instruments. Running ‘make install’ will copy this library to the location that has been configured for it.
