ASIO Downloader & "Installer" #2

Closed mitchmindtree closed 6 years ago

mitchmindtree commented 6 years ago

A simple rust crate that can be used in build scripts to automatically download and "install" the audio SDK into a reasonable location.

  1. Downloads the SDK zip from steinberg.
  2. Unzip the SDK.
  3. Copy unzipped directory into ~/.asio/. Use dirs crate to get the home directory in a reliable way.
  4. Check to see if CPAL_ASIO_DIR is set. If not, set it to ~/.asio/.

This has been implemented here but lacks the final step of setting the CPAL_ASIO_DIR env var. Not sure if there is a reliable cross-platform way of setting this in the user's configuration files - it might be best if we let the CPAL windows ASIO buildscript check for this folder and then set it in the case that it isn't already set.

Yeh in the build script if it's not set we could default to checking home/.asio/ Then is that fails we could print a nice error explaining how to install it with this crate
