RtMidi

We are using a fork of rtmidi where the rtmidi_c files have been adapted for better usage with RtMidi.Core.

The fork is regularly merged with upstream, ensuring fixes, improvements etc are carried over into the version we are using.

Guides on how to compile the runtime-dependent library binary.

OS X

1. Open terminal and navigate to the root of the repository

2. Compile project:

   $ ./autogen.sh --no-configure
   $ ./configure
   $ make

3. Copy the newly compiled dylib file into the RtMidi.Core project:

   $ cp .libs/librtmidi.dylib ~/git/RtMidi.Core/RtMidi.Core/librtmidi.dylib

Pre-requisites

Requires automake, autoconf and libtool to be installed, which is easily done using Homebrew:

$ brew install autoconf automake libtool

Windows (64 bit)

1. From the root of the repository, navigate to msw/

2. Open the solution file rtmidilib.sln

3. Change configuration to Export

4. Change target framework to x64

5. Build solution

6. Copy newly compiled dll file for x64 into the RtMidi.Core project:

   $ cp msw/x64/Export/rtmidilib.dll ~/git/RtMidi.Core/RtMidi.Core/librtmidi.dylib

7. Change target framework to Win32

8. Build solution

9. Copy newly compiled dll file for x86 into the RtMidi.Core project:

   $ cp msw/Export/rtmidilib.dll ~/git/RtMidi.Core/RtMidi.Core/rtmidi32.dll

Pre-requisites

Requires Visual Studio 2017 (or newer) with the following components installed (use Visual Studio Installer)

• Workload: Desktop development with C++

• Individual components:

  • Windows 8.1 SDK

  • Windows Universal CRT SDK

Linux

1. Open terminal and navigate to the root of the repository

2. Compile project:

   $ ./autogen.sh
   $ ./configure
   $ make

3. Copy the newly compiled so file into the RtMidi.Core project:

   $ cp .libs/librtmidi.so ~/git/RtMidi.Core/RtMidi.Core/librtmidi.so
