\chapter{Compiling and installing \faust}
The \faust source distribution \lstinline'faust-2.6.3.tar.gz' can be downloaded from GitHub (\myurl{https://github.com/grame-cncm/faust/releases}).
\section{Organization of the distribution}
The first thing is to decompress the downloaded archive.
\begin{lstlisting}
tar xzf faust-2.6.3.tar.gz
\end{lstlisting}
The resulting \lstinline'faust-2.6.3/' folder should contain the following elements:
\begin{tabular}{ll}
\lstinline'architecture/' &\faust libraries and architecture files\\
\lstinline'benchmark' &tools to measure the efficiency of the generated code\\
\lstinline'compiler/' &sources of the \faust compiler\\
\lstinline'examples/' &examples of \faust programs\\
\lstinline'syntax-highlighting/'& support for syntax highlighting for several editors\\
\lstinline'documentation/' &\faust's documentation, including this manual\\
\lstinline'tools/' &tools to produce audio applications and plugins\\
\lstinline'COPYING' &license information\\
\lstinline'Makefile' &Makefile used to build and install \faust\\
\lstinline'README' &instructions on how to build and install \faust
\end{tabular}
\section{Compilation}
\faust has no dependencies outside standard libraries. Therefore the compilation should be straightforward. There is no configuration phase, to compile the \faust compiler simply do :
\begin{lstlisting}
cd faust-2.6.3/
make
\end{lstlisting}
If the compilation was successful you can test the compiler before installing it:
\begin{lstlisting}
[cd faust-2.6.3/]
./compiler/faust -v
\end{lstlisting}
It should output:
\begin{lstlisting}
FAUST, DSP to C++ compiler, Version 2.6.3
Copyright (C) 2002-2018, GRAME - Centre...
\end{lstlisting}
Then you can also try to compile one of the examples :
\begin{lstlisting}
[cd faust-2.6.3/]
./compiler/faust examples/generator/noise.dsp
\end{lstlisting}
It should produce some C++ code on the standard output
\section{Installation}
You can install \faust with:
\begin{lstlisting}
[cd faust-2.6.3/]
sudo make install
\end{lstlisting}
or
\begin{lstlisting}
[cd faust-2.6.3/]
su
make install
\end{lstlisting}
depending on your system.
\section{Compilation of the examples}
Once \faust correctly installed, you can have a look at the provided examples in the \lstinline'examples/' folder. This folder contains a \lstinline'Makefile' with all the required instructions to build these examples for various \textit{architectures}\marginpar{An architecture file provides the code needed to connect a signal processor to the outside world. It typically defines the audio communications and user interface.}, either standalone audio applications or plugins.
The command \lstinline'make help' will list the available targets. Before using a specific target, make sure you have the appropriate development tools, libraries and headers installed. For example to compile the examples as ALSA applications with a GTK user interface do a \lstinline'make alsagtk'. This will create a \lstinline'alsagtkdir/' subfolder with all the binaries.
