Building

To configure and build pd-aubio, run:

$ make

pd-aubio uses waf. To find out more information about build options:

$ ./scripts/get_waf.sh
$ ./waf configure --help

Once configured, the external can be built with:

$ ./waf configure build

If you have aubio installed in an unusual location, you might need to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH accordingly.

For instance, to build against aubio installed in /var/tmp/aubio:

$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/var/tmp/aubio/lib/pkgconfig
$ waf distclean configure build

Installing

To install pd-aubio:

# ./waf install

Depending on the installation location, you might need to run this command with sudo (or as the user root), or to copy the files manually.

To install it in a different location, you could also try:

$ ./waf configure --prefix=/my/favorite/place build
# ./waf install

Running

To load the external, start pd as follows

$ pd -lib aubio

Alternatively, you can create an object [aubio] to initialize the external.

If you want to use the external without installing it, the above command should work as expected from the pd-aubio source directory. If needed, set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the path to your libaubio installation.
