Building aubio
==============
.. note::
To download a prebuilt version of aubio, see :ref:`download`.
aubio uses `waf`_ to configure, compile, and test the source.
A copy of waf is included in aubio tarball, so all you need is a terminal,
a compiler, and a recent version of python installed.
.. note::
Make sure you have all the :ref:`requirements` you want before building.
Latest release
--------------
The **latest stable release** can be downloaded from https://aubio.org/download::
$ curl -O http://aubio.org/pub/aubio-<version>.tar.bz2
$ tar xf aubio-<version>.tar.bz2
$ cd aubio-<version>/
Git repository
--------------
The **latest git branch** can be obtained with::
$ git clone git://git.aubio.org/git/aubio
$ cd aubio/
The following command will fetch the correct `waf`_ version (not included in
aubio's git)::
$ ./scripts/get_waf.sh
.. note::
Windows users without `Git Bash`_ installed will want to use the following
commands instead:
.. code:: bash
$ curl -fsS -o waf https://waf.io/waf-1.8.22
$ curl -fsS -o waf.bat https://raw.githubusercontent.com/waf-project/waf/master/utils/waf.bat
Compiling
---------
To compile the C library, examples programs, and tests, run::
$ ./waf configure
Check out the available options using ``./waf configure --help``. Once
you are done with configuration, you can start building::
$ ./waf build
To install the freshly built C library and tools, simply run the following
command::
$ sudo ./waf install
.. note::
Windows users should simply run ``waf``, without the leading ``./``. For
instance:
.. code:: bash
$ waf configure build
Running as a user
-----------------
To use aubio without actually installing, for instance if you don't have root
access to install libaubio on your system,
On Linux or macOS, sourcing the script ``scripts/setenv_local.sh`` should help::
$ source ./scripts/setenv_local.sh
This script sets ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH``, for libaubio, and ``PYTHONPATH`` for the
python module.
On Linux, you should be able to set ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH`` with::
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$PWD/build/src
On Mac OS X, a copy or a symlink can be made in ``~/lib``::
$ mkdir -p ~/lib
$ ln -sf $PWD/build/src/libaubio*.dylib ~/lib/
Note on Mac OS X systems older than El Capitan (10.11), the ``DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH``
variable can be set as follows::
$ export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:$PWD/build/src
Cleaning
--------
If you wish to uninstall the files installed by the ``install`` command, use
``uninstall``::
$ sudo ./waf uninstall
To clean the source directory, use the ``clean`` command::
$ ./waf clean
To also forget the options previously passed to the last ``./waf configure``
invocation, use the ``distclean`` command::
$ ./waf distclean
