Installation
To build the Csound bindings or anything depending on this crate, you need to have at least Csound 6.11, previous versions are not suported. By default( The only supported way), this crate will attempt to dynamically link to the system-wide libcsound64.
Linux/BSDs
You can install Csound using your distro-package manager, or in case your package manager has a unsupported version of Csound( <6.11 ) you have to build it from source.
On Debian/Ubuntu Csound can be installed with
# Make sure the version of this package is >= 6.11
$ apt-get install libcsound64-6.0 libcsound64-dev
Also, You can compile it from source and install(recommended)
# First, install all the csound's dependencies
$ apt-get install build-essential libportaudio2 portaudio19-dev cmake /
flex bison libsndfile1-dev libsndfile1
then, clone the csound's source code
# Clone Csound from its repository
$ git clone https://github.com/csound/csound.git
Compile and install the library.
# Clone Csound from its repository
$ cd csound/
$ cmake . && make && sudo make install
$ sudo ldconfig
Csound will be installed in /usr/local/lib, there is where the build.rs script will look at, for the csound's binaries. so, It could be a good idea if you export this path in your bashrc or write a propper pkg-config file.
macOS
Please be free to send a pull request with the changes applied to the build scripts and instructions about how to use this crate along csound's native library
Windows

- Locate your csound installation directory ( commonly it is C:\Program Files\Csound6_x64)

- Set the environment variable as follows:
$ setx CSOUND_LIB_DIR "C:\\Program Files\\Csound6_x64\\lib"
- Restart Command Prompt to reload the environment variables then use the following command to check the it's been added correctly.
