Compiling Linuxsampler For Windows

[JickDuck]

Hi,
I’m new to this forum and Linuxsampler. I’m trying it out in Windows XP and I am impressed. However, I get dropouts. I think that the reason for this is that the windows version of linuxsampler only supports a maximum polyphony of 200. Therefore I am trying to compile linuxsampler for windows using these: http://www.linuxsampler.org/msys.html instructions. I have some issues.


Step 3“(If you are not going to build gigedit, you can download just GLib and pkg-config from http://www.gtk.org.)”

After I download, what exactly do I do with the unzipped files? EXACTLY where are they supposed to go?


Step 5“Download asiosdk2.2.zip from Steinberg. Extract it to your msys $HOME.”

EXACTLY which directory is the “msys $HOME” directory?


Step 11
“Download sqlite-amalgamation-3.6.22.tar.gz from http://www.sqlite.org and extract it to your $HOME:”

Which is the “$HOME” directory?


If anyone can help, it would really be appreciated!

Thanks,
Jick

If you extract them to /mingw, then you don't have to do the first two steps under "10. MSYS setup". (By "/mingw" I mean the directory you get to when you type "cd /mingw" inside the msys console window. This is usually "C:\MinGW" in Windows Explorer, but you can see the mapping by typing "mount" in the msys console.)

Step 5“Download asiosdk2.2.zip from Steinberg. Extract it to your msys $HOME.”

EXACTLY which directory is the “msys $HOME” directory?

The msys $HOME directory is the directory you get to when you type just "cd" in the msys console window. This is usually "C:\msys\1.0\home\your-user-name". You can check with "echo $HOME" and "mount".

Step 11
“Download sqlite-amalgamation-3.6.22.tar.gz from http://www.sqlite.org and extract it to your $HOME:”

Which is the “$HOME” directory?

I mean the msys $HOME here too. Just type "cd" and then the tar extraction command.

Thank You So Much.
That info made THE difference. Now I compiled it successfully. I copied the liblinuxsampler-3.dll, libgig-6.dll, and libsqlite3-0.dll to the Windows/System32 directory. When I execute the Linuxsampler .exe file all seems to work well. Is there anything else that is required? I didn’t compile with VST support.

Thanks a million!
