setting up csound library ( windows 7) #3

Im having problem while trying to setCsoundLibrary() to get sonify working, I noticed the issue https://github.com/statisfactions/playitbyr/issues/2 and tried following instructions there, but was not able to resolve the problem.

setCsoundLibrary("C:/Program Files (x86)/Csound/bin/csound64.dll")
Error in setCsoundLibrary("C:/Program Files (x86)/Csound/bin/csound64.dll") : 
  No valid shared object found at 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Csound/bin/csound64.dll'.

I tried setting directory

 setwd("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Csound\\bin\\" )

and creating symlink

C:\Program Files (x86)\Csound\bin>mklink "csound64.dll" csound64.dll.5.2
symbolic link created for csound64.dll <<===>> csound64.dll.5.2

but it didnt work. Digging inside 

.dynload("csound64.dll.5.2")  ## gives NULL
.dynload("csound64.dll")  ## gives NULL as well

even though I can see the files present. Please suggest. Thanks in advance.

What version of Csound are you using?

Csound 6 totally changed the API and I haven't gotten these packages working with the new API yet.

My csound version is 5.17 win32

Hmm. Are there other "dll" files in that directory? What do you get from dir *dll*(or whatever the correct command is) in that directory on the command line?

I am facing the same problem. Someone found a solution?

In Win7 I have installed the following: Csound: Csound6_6.04.0 csound package: csound_0.1-1.tar.gz (it has been removed from CRAN) rdyncall package: rdyncall_0.7.5.tar.gz (it has been removed from CRAN too)

Four potential .dll files in bin folder but no one works: csound64.dll CsoundAC.dll csound6~.dll csnd6.dll

Example: setCsoundLibrary("C:/Program Files (x86)/Csound6/bin/csound64.dll") Error in setCsoundLibrary("C:/Program Files (x86)/Csound6/bin/csound64.dll") : No valid shared object found at 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Csound6/bin/csound64.dll'.

As I commented above, the packages don't work with Csound 6.

What version of R are you using? Does the archived rdyncall actually still work for you?

It wouldn't be that hard to make a quick patch to the csound package to work with Csound 6, if rdyncall is working, and I would be happy to help with that.

Otherwise, I plan on revising these packages this summer (I am in grad school) and to remove the dependency on rdyncall so I can get this all back up on CRAN. It's good to know there's still some interest in these packages.
