Compilation and Installation

tomato-rubato-openal.cabal

Prerequisites:

• The OpenAL bindings for Haskell are used to output sound.

• To install the tomato-rubato-openal libary, simply type

    cd tomato-rubato-openal && cabal install
  

tomato-rubato.cabal

Prerequisites:

• SuperCollider 3 serves as backend to generate the actual audio. Simply install one of the prepackaged version on your computer and start the server before using tomato-rubato. (Let me know if you have any problems with this step.) The corresponding Haskell bindings are installed by simply typing

    cabal install hsc3-0.9
  

• PortMidi is used to read from external MIDI devices. You have to install the C library on your system and then install the corresponding Haskell bindings by typing

    cabal install PortMidi
  

• To build the tomato-rubato library, simply type

    cd tomato-rubato && cabal configure && cabal build
