New simpler repository

[gogins]

This is a simplified version of csound-extended that focuses on the CsoundAC library, and will have automated builds and releases using GitHub actions.

• [x] Ensure that the initial state builds and runs.
• [x] Remove all opcodes.
• [x] Remove the incomplete Debian package, keep binary archive package.
• [x] Remove all dependencies except those that can be installed on GitHub runners without jumping through hoops.
• [x] Test piece that exercises csound::Midifile, music model stuff, and the Python interface.

Ensure the package builds on all GitHub runners:

• [x] macOS
• [x] Linux
• [x] WIndows. Not building. Lost patience.

[gogins]

I will remove the following submodules, used by opcodes that I have now removed:

• [x] bformdec2
• [x] link
• [x] stk

I will keep these submodules:

• [x] cmask, probably to become a CMask subclass of ScoreNode.
• [x] libmusicxml, used by Score.

I will perhaps add as a submodule:

• [x] PortSMF, used by Score, but not available as a system package on all platforms.

[gogins]

The dependencies are as follows. I prefer to install them and use them as installed, otherwise as Git submodules or Git clones. On Linux:

• [x] boost as installed to default location.
• [x] cmask as Git submodule.
• [x] eigen as Git clone, header-file-only library.
• [x] libcsnd6-6.0v5 as installed to default location.
• [x] libcsnd-dev as installed to default location.
• [x] libcsound64-dev as installed to default location.
• [x] libmusicxml2 as Git submodule compiling to static library.
• [x] libsndfile1-dev as installed to default location.
• [x] libopencv-dev as installed to default location.
• [x] portsmf as Git clone, source files included in CsoundAC build.

This builds and runs on macOS.

[gogins]

Builds on the following GitHub runners:

• [x] macOS
• [x] Linux
• [ ] Windows

[gogins]

Windows package managers:

• [x] winget, did not find Csound.
• [x] chocolatey, did not find Csound.
• [x] homebrew? N/A for Windows.
• [x] vcpkg, did not find Csound.
• [x] nuget, did not find Csound.

[gogins]

Download Windows installer from https://github.com/csound/csound/releases/download/6.17.0/csound-6.17.0-windows-x64-installer.zip and install on runner.

[gogins]

Might need https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9946322/how-to-generate-an-import-library-lib-file-from-a-dll, or pull csnd6 source code code into CsoundAC.

[gogins]

All right, I give up. The Windows binary package doesn't contain any headers from the interfaces directory, although I know that the binaries depend upon those headers. These are the files:

michaelgogins@Michaels-MacBook-Pro csound % find . -name "*.cpp" 
./interfaces/CsoundFile.cpp
./interfaces/Soundfile.cpp
./interfaces/pyMsgCb_stub.cpp
./interfaces/csPerfThread.cpp
./interfaces/pyMsgCb.cpp
./interfaces/cs_glue.cpp
./interfaces/CppSound.cpp
./interfaces/filebuilding.cpp
michaelgogins@Michaels-MacBook-Pro csound % find . -name "*.hpp"
./interfaces/cs_glue.hpp
./interfaces/CppSound.hpp
./interfaces/CsoundFile.hpp
./interfaces/Soundfile.hpp
./interfaces/csPerfThread.hpp

Possible solutions:

• [x] Just use the headers from the Csound repository. I'm trying this first, as the source archive should match the tag of the binaries archive on csound.github.io.
• [ ] See if there is any way of just unpacking the Csound installer, which does have these headers.
• [ ] Re-implement the interfaces directory in this repository in a different namespace.

[gogins]

Have to add Csound's version.h to CsoundAC.

[gogins]

Shesh. Clarified Platform.h but still not building on Windows.

• [ ] Fix as many warnings as possible, look for anomalies.
• [ ] Return to Windows runner.
• [ ] If I can't get through this, set the Windows runner aside.

[gogins]

I have fixed many warnings.

Most of the remaining warnings are in libmusicxml2 or PortSMF. I have left a few warnings from my code as reminders.

[gogins]

D:\a\csound-ac\csound-ac\eigen\Eigen\src/Core/Matrix.h(394,7): error C2338: static_assert failed: 'THIS_METHOD_IS_ONLY_FOR_VECTORS_OF_A_SPECIFIC_SIZE' [D:\a\csound-ac\csound-ac\build\CsoundAC\libCsoundAC.vcxproj]

Frustratingly, no source line number. But probably the same as:

/Users/michaelgogins/csound-ac/CsoundAC/ChordSpaceBase.hpp:1273: Warning 462: Unable to set dimensionless array variable

But I think this is from SWIG as it is "Warning" not "warning:", see https://sourceforge.net/p/swig/mailman/swig-user/thread/4D26C57A.1060304%40fultondesigns.co.uk/.

[gogins]

Closing this even though Windows runner is not building. No more patience, need to make music, Linux and macOS is good for many.
