Snd

Snd is a sound editor.  It currently runs on nearly all
Unix-based systems, including Mac OSX and Cygwin.
To build Snd, get the sources from

  ftp://ccrma-ftp.stanford.edu/pub/Lisp/snd-18.tar.gz

  gzip -d snd-18.tar.gz
  tar xf snd-18.tar
  cd snd-18
  ./configure
  make

and if you like, su root, then

  make install


The configure script has a bunch of arguments:

   Extension language:

     --with-s7         use s7 (the default, a version of Scheme).

     --with-ruby       use Ruby as the extension language.  If you build Ruby from the sources,
     			 remember to use the --enable-shared switch.  Otherwise ruby.pc is messed up.
                         If ruby.pc (or equivalent) is missing, tools/make-config-pc.rb can make one:
                         make-config-pc.rb > ruby.pc
                         mv ruby.pc /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ruby.pc
                         You may also have to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH:
			 PKG_CONFIG_PATH=.:/opt/X11/lib/pkgconfig/ ./configure --with-motif --with-ruby --with-portaudio 
			 (Debian: ruby-dev)
                       In Ruby 2.7, include -Wno-incompatible-pointer-types in CFLAGS.
  
     --with-forth      use Forth (Mike Scholz's FTH) as the extension language. (libfth or fth at sourceforge)
  
     --without-extension-language  build Snd without any extension language
  

   Graphics:

     --with-motif      use Motif.  If it's in some odd location, you can provide that info:
                         ./configure LDFLAGS="-L/usr/X11R6/lib" CFLAGS="-I/usr/X11R6/include" --with-motif

                         in Fedora, install the motif, motif-devel, and libXpm-devel packages.
                         in *BSD, pkg install open-motif, or perhaps use pkgin?
                         in Debian, apt-get install libmotif4, libmotif-dev, libxt-dev, libxpm-dev
			    in Ubuntu 21.04 the Motif libraries appear to be libmotif-common libxm4 libmotif-dev
			      and X11/extensions/shape.h is in libxext-dev
                         Also the X miscellaneous fonts package, Fedora: xorg-x11-fonts-misc, 
                           Fedora: xorg-x11-fonts-misc
                           Arch: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/xorg-fonts-misc/

     --with-gui        make Snd with graphics support (actually intended for use as --without-gui)
  
     --with-gl         include support for OpenGL (default: no, Motif only) (debian: libgl-dev libglu-dev)
       --with-gl2ps    include gl2ps (postscript output from OpenGL graphics)
  

   Audio:

     --with-alsa       use ALSA if possible (the default in Linux) (Debian: libasound2-dev, Fedora: alsa-lib and alsa-lib-dev)

     --with-oss        use OSS (not tested in a long time)
  
     --with-jack       use the Jack library which needs libsamplerate

     --with-pulseaudio use PulseAudio (untested), libpulse-dev in debian, puleaudio-libs-devel in Fedora

     --without-audio   do not include audio support.  This also affects the
                         GUI (play buttons are omitted).


   Other options:

     --with-gmp        use gmp, mpfr, and mpc to implement multiprecision arithmetic
                       (Debian: libgmp-dev libmpfr-dev libmpc-dev)

     --with-ladspa     include LADSPA plugin support (default: yes in Linux)
                       (get ladaps.h and put it in /usr/local/include or some such directory)
  
     --with-temp-dir   directory to use for temp files (default: ".")
     --with-save-dir   directory to use for saved-state files (default: ".")
     --with-doc-dir    directory to search for documentation


If the configure/make process fails, please send me
(bil@ccrma.stanford.edu) the files mus-config.h, config.log, and makefile,
created (or updated) by configure.  In general, if some switch is ignored,
check that you have installed the "devel" package.  For example, --with-ruby
won't work unless you have installed the ruby-devel package.

Snd comes with s7, but if you insist on building Snd without any extension 
language, you'll find that it's severely limited in what it can do.  
Snd can also be built without any graphics toolkit.  Without either the GUI 
or an extension language, however, there's nothing it can do.

Here at CCRMA, we use this configure invocation:

  ./configure --with-jack --with-temp-dir=/zap


Version info:
  if Motif, then Motif 2.n but not Lesstif
  in Linux, if ALSA, then ALSA 1.0 or later
  if Ruby, Ruby 1.8.0 or later.  
  if Forth, any version
  if s7, version 3.0 or later (it comes with Snd).
  if GSL, version 1.0 or later


----------------------------------------------------------------

The customization/extension languages are either s7, Ruby, or Forth.

Much of Snd's functionality is loaded as needed from the Scheme, Ruby, or Forth
files found in the tarball (*.scm, *.rb, and *.fs).  You can run Snd without 
these files, but there's no reason to!  Just add the directory containing
those files to the "load-path".  In s7,

  (set! *load-path* (cons "/home/bil/cl" *load-path*))

*load-path* is the list of directories that s7 looks at when trying
to find a file to load.  Here I've added "/home/bil/cl" so that Snd
can find its sources no matter what directory I run it in.  If you 
create a file named ~/.snd_s7 and put such a line in it, you'll
never have to think about it again.  In the other languages:

Ruby:   $LOAD_PATH.push("/home/bil/cl")
Forth:  "/home/bil/cl" add-load-path

----------------------------------------------------------------

The documentation is in snd.html, extsnd.html, grfsnd.html, sndscm.html,
sndlib.html, sndclm.html, fm.html, s7.html, s7-ffi.html, and s7-scm.html.

A brief change log is in HISTORY.Snd.


The mailing list for Snd is the same as that for Common Music:

To follow the Snd SVN repository, the first time you need to

  svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/snd/svn1 snd

This creates a local snd directory with the files (in the trunk directory).

  svn update

updates any changed files.

C, Scheme, Ruby, Forth, Emacs Lisp, Fortran, and Lua (altogether about 850k lines).


----------------------------------------------------------------

If you hit a bug, don't just sit there weeping -- send me
(bil@ccrma.stanford.edu) a description of it!  If it's something like
a segfault, you have gdb, and you can build Snd from the sources, it
would help me a lot if you could build it with the -g switch, then

gdb snd
run
<here do whatever it takes to get the bug>
where

The 'where' command should print out the current stack trace which
is extremely helpful to me in tracking down the problem.  It can also
be helpful to move to the first Snd-related function in the stack
(via the 'up' command), then type

info locals

This will print out the value of the local variables.  In most cases,
that's all I need to fix the bug immediately.  If Snd
appears to be hung, you can 

gdb snd
run
<now get it to hang, then type control-C to exit>
where



----------------------------------------------------------------

TROUBLES:

---- wayland ----

Currently in wayland you need to run snd:

GDK_BACKEND=x11 snd

Thanks to Kenneth Flak for this tip!


---- audio (a can of worms) ----

If nothing plays in Linux (try aplay for example), and the sound preferences
have no effect, look for the pulseaudio daemon, and kill it.

In OpenBSD, use pulseaudio:
 ./configure --with-gmp --with-pulseaudio CFLAGS=-ftrampolines LDFLAGS=-pthread


---- ALSA: ----

Only versions from 1.0 of ALSA are supported.

An addendum: in my system, I have a wretched sound card in my machine,
and an EMI 2|6 connected to a USB connector.  So the EMI device is "hw:1"
in Alsa terms, and since I never want to use the internal sound card,
I have this line in my ~/.cshrc file:

setenv MUS_ALSA_DEVICE "hw:1"

But this number seems to be set randomly at boot time!  And sometimes, Alsa
in its infinite wisdom mutes the playback device. So, now I
have these lines executing at startup:

amixer sset PCM,0 80% unmute
amixer sset Mic,0 80%

If you use 100% (meaning, give me full amplitude output), it's the same
as 0!!  

On a different machine, I use:

setenv MUS_ALSA_DEVICE "plughw:0"



If you get some complaint like

  ;Invalid argument: cannot set hardware parameters for default

try setting:

    (set! (mus-alsa-device) "plughw:0")

or

    (set! (mus-alsa-device) "plughw:1")

then try playing again.  The "default" device is always completely
broken.  



---- Motif: ----

Only Motif 2.n is supported.  Be sure to get the Motif development
package if you want to build Snd (you need the Motif headers).

On 64-bit machines, use motif 2.3.2 or later.

I think some of the newer Motif packages (like post-2012)
need both /usr/include/X11/extensions/Print.h and
/usr/include/X11/bitmaps/gray -- in the latter case I
sometimes have to create the bitmaps directory.
I can send copies of these files if needed.


---- Mac OSX: ---- 

Daniel Hensel sends these instructions to get Snd running with Motif:

Download and install XQuartz:
http://www.xquartz.org

Download and install XCode
open terminal:
install Command Line Tools by typing
xcode-select --install
 
Install Homebrew

And then: 

brew install gcc 
brew install ruby
brew install openmotif
brew install poppler
brew install gsl
brew install timidity
brew install wavpack
brew install wvunpack
brew install mpg123
brew install mpg321
brew install vorbis-tools
brew install flac
brew install fftw

This is new: 

brew install libxft
brew install libiconv 
brew install libpng
brew install fontconfig 
brew install freetype

cd to the snd folder and configure with

CFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/include" LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/lib" ./configure  --with-motif 

make and sudo make install

after that, I make an Apple script to make a Snd.app.
Open Scripteditor, make a new script and type,

tell application "Terminal"
	do script "/usr/local/bin/snd; exit"
end tell

Save as an App. Go to your Applications folder to Snd and 
get app information via Cmd+i and drag your Snd.png File into it.

--------
Daniel Hensel's instructions for a Mac M1 MacBook

I built Snd on Monterey like this:

./configure -prefix=/opt/snd-s7 CFLAGS="-target arm64-apple-macos11"  --with-s7 --with-motif --with-gsl

make 
sudo make install
sudo ln -s /opt/snd-s7/bin/snd /usr/local/bin/snd

after that, I make an Apple script to make a Snd.app.
Open Scripteditor, make a new script and type,

tell application "Terminal"
	do script "/usr/local/bin/snd; exit"
end tell

Save as an App. Go to your Applications folder to Snd and 
get app information via Cmd+i and drag your Snd.png File into it.


-------- FreeBSD 9.n --------

If the Snd compilation fails with complaints about the complex trig functions (ccosh etc),
here are some suggestions from Mike Scholz:


FBSD has CFLAGS=-fno-strict-aliasing as a default for base and ports. With 
GCC you can use: 

  % ./configure CFLAGS=-fno-strict-aliasing 

Or at least set -fno-builtin: 

  % ./configure CFLAGS=-fno-builtin 

Or use clang without the aforementioned flags: 

  % ./configure CC=clang 

There is also a port in /usr/ports/audio/snd with version 13.0 from August 
2012. 


-------- Debian --------

The last time I installed Debian (25-Jan-17) I installed the following
Snd-related packages by hand:
   libfftw3-3 libgsl2 libmotif-dev libxpm-dev libxt-dev libmpfr-dev libmpc-dev
   libgsl-dev libfftw3-dev libgl-dev libglu-dev libjack-dev ruby-dev libasound2-dev


-------- Fedora --------

and for Fedora Core 22:
  yum install gcc tcsh rxvt emacs fftw3 fftw3-devel
              alsa-lib alsa-lib-devel gsl gsl-devel gmp gmp-devel 
              mpfr mpfr-devel libmpc libmpc-devel ruby ruby-devel motif 
              motif-devel libXpm-devel mesa-libGLU-devel
