portaudio installation #1

Open NewPointless-git opened 7 years ago

NewPointless-git commented 7 years ago

I have compiled portaudio, but I still get the 'cannot find -lportaudio' error message. I tried building Rust wrappers for portaudio, but rust-portaudio gives me the error message that it can't build on Windows. I'm using Windows 10. I'm a bit clueless on building and compiling source code, but is there any way to make this work?

From the rust-portaudio README:

rust-portaudio will try to detect portaudio on your system and, failing that (or if given the PORTAUDIO_ONLY_STATIC environment variable on the build process), will download and build portaudio statically. If this fails please let us know! In the mean-time, you can manually download and install PortAudio yourself.

it looks like the automatic download/installation of portaudio isn't working, so you must install portaudio. unfortunately, all these instructions are developer-oriented and I don't use windows so I'm not quite sure how to link it properly.

But I'll be working on a browser version of this so all of this will be unnecessary for most ppl
