The Synthesis ToolKit in C++ (STK)
By Perry R. Cook and Gary P. Scavone, 1995-2007.
The Synthesis ToolKit in C++ can be used in a variety of ways, depending on your particular needs. Some people just choose the classes they need for a particular project and copy those to their project directory. Others like to compile and link to a library of object files. STK was not designed with one particular style of use in mind.
To configure and compile (on Unix systems):
1. Unpack the STK distribution (tar -xzf stk-4.x.x.tar.gz).
2. From within the directory containing this file, run configure:
./configure
3. From within each project directory, type "make".
4. To compile a library of objects, type "make" from within the src directory.
Several options can be passed to configure, including:
--disable-realtime = only compile generic non-realtime classes
--enable-debug = enable various debug output
--with-alsa = choose native ALSA API support (default, linux only)
--with-oss = choose native OSS API support (linux only)
--with-jack = choose native JACK server API support (linux and macintosh OS-X)
--with-core = choose OS-X Core Audio API (macintosh OS-X only)
It is now possible to specify more than one audio API where supported. Note however that the ALSA library is required in order to compile the RtMidi class, even if the "--with-oss" option is provided (only the OSS audio API will be used, not the OSS MIDI API). Typing "./configure --help" will display all the available options. In addition, it is possible to specify the RAWWAVES and INCLUDE paths to configure as (ex. to set to /home/gary/rawwaves and /home/gary/include):
./configure RAWWAVE_PATH='$(HOME)/rawwaves/'
./configure INCLUDE_PATH='$(HOME)/include/'
The ending "/" is required for the RAWWAVES path. The default behavior will set a relative path that works for the project files included with the distribution (assuming they are not moved). You can also change the RAWWAVE_PATH dynamically via the static Stk::setRawwavePath() function.
If you wish to use a different compiler than that selected by configure, specify that compiler in the command line (ex. to use CC):
./configure CXX=CC
In addition, a linux RPM is available from the Planet CCRMA WWW site (http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/).
For Windows Users:
An STK distribution is available which contains precompiled executables. In addition, Visual C++ project files are included for each of the example STK projects.
