Dependencies

  1. Install MSVC 2019 (community) - Csound 6.18 is built with that

  2. Install Qt5 (5.15.2)

  3. Install Git, https://git-scm.com/download/win libsndfile (Mega-Nerd) http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/

  4. Csound https://csound.com/download.html

  • installing just binaries does not work - missing csPerfThread, version.h.in needs replacement

copy include and lib directories to CsoundQt/../csound/

  1. pthread https://sourceforge.net/projects/pthreads4w/files/ unpack to to CsoundQt/../csound/

Prepratation

  1. Configure QtCreator for git (Version Control -> Git, Command C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe)

  2. get/update CsoundQt sources (QtCreator Import project -> Git -> https://github.com/CsoundQt/CsoundQt.git

  • Pull with submodules (recursive) ti build with rtmidi support.
  1. copy Csound header files and libraries to a directory without spaces, for example next to CsoundQt source folder.

Configuration

Create config.user.pri in CsoundQt source root directory and enter following lines:

With content like:

CONFIG *= rtmidi
CONFIG *= perfThread_build
#CONFIG +=record_support # crash on Windows 11...
CONFIG+=html_webengine

CSOUND_INTERFACES_INCLUDE_DIR = $$PWD/../csound/include/csound
DEFAULT_CSOUND_API_INCLUDE_DIRS = $$PWD/../csound/include/csound
DEFAULT_CSOUND_LIBRARY_DIRS = $$PWD/../csound/lib

DEFAULT_LIBSNDFILE_INCLUDE_DIRS = "C:\Program Files\Mega-Nerd\libsndfile\include"
DEFAULT_LIBSNDFILE_LIBRARY_DIRS = "C:\Program Files\Mega-Nerd\libsndfile\bin"

PTHREAD_INCLUDE_DIR = $$PWD/../pthreads/Pre-built.2/include
LPTHREAD = $$PWD/../pthreads/Pre-built.2/lib/x64/pthreadVC2.lib

Build, install

Build with QtCreator. You might need to copy libsndfile-1.dll to the build's bin dir. If succeeded, add build step: intall (make install), that runs qtwindeploy that pulls necessary Qt libraries to the build/bin directory Copy Examples folder to build/bin dir. To include also Csound, copy the following from Csound installation directory:

  • Csound6_x64/doc -> bin/doc
  • Csound6_x64/bin/* -> bin (next to CsoundQt executable
  • Csound6_x64/plugins64/ -> bin
