GnauralInstalling Gnaural
Installing is very easy:
Windows:
- Install the GTK+ 2 Runtime Environment (optional themes here)
- Install Gnaural
MacOSX:
- Determine your OS version (Tiger 10.4 or Leopard 10.5)
- Install either Gnaural for Tiger 10.4 or Gnaural for Leopard 10.5. (NOTE: if not sure, just download the Tiger 10.4 version; seems to run on both)
Linux:
- For Debian-based distros (like Ubuntu): Gnaural.
Otherwise, here's a handy unpakaged executable with most non-standard libs linked statically (tested on Puppy Linux): Gnaural
For all versions of Gnaural currently available, go here
If you have any problems installing, or just want a very quick, "no installation" idea of what Gnaural is, here is a stripped-down Java version: Gnaural Java Applet.
Notes:
- LINUX: If you are running Linux, you probably have GTK+ installed already, because it is the foundation for thousands of Linux applications, and even the entire Gnome desktop.
- LINUX: The above Linux versions were packages specifically for Debian. Versions of Gnaural can also be found natively within these distributions: Ubuntu, Fedora, SuSE, Gentoo, ArchLinux. Contact your package maintainer if the version is not up to date. If you don't have an installer available to you, simply download the source code (the ".tar.gz" file), extract and compile it. The latter should be as easy as typing "./configure" then "make" from a terminal in the root of the extracted directory. If it compiled, you'll find gnaural in the src directory. If it didn't, you're probably just missing a few dev libs (likely PortAudio and SndFile); install them using your distribution's package manager then try again.
- WINDOWS: There is also a very useful GTK+ Preferences Tool available at the gtk-win site, allowing you to customize the look of GTK+ applications.
- WINDOWS: If you are running a version of Windows BEFORE Windows 2000, you will need this older version of the GTK+ 2 Runtime Environment.
- MacOSX: available as of Dec. 2008, your Gnaural should run fine but will be tweaked eventually to be more "Mac Like", in menus and keyboard shortcuts and general look. For now it looks a bit like a Windows app in Mac. Which is ironic, since I develop both Mac and Windows versions solely in Linux.
- EVERYONE: If any of the links above don't work (or for any reason you can't get what you need), first see if you can find what you need at the main Gnaural site, and if you can't, then post in the Forum. True "bugs", on the other hand, should go to the Tracker.
- The
latest stable source code can always be found (as a ".tar.gz" file) here,
and the
current working code snapshot in CVS here. To
download from CVS, simply put this in a command line:
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@gnaural.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gnaural co -P gnaural
Assuming you have all the development libraries needed, then all you need to do is type these lines to compile and run:
cd gnaural
./configure
make
cd src/
./gnaural
