3. Installation

3.1 Things that you may not have

You need the libpt library by Maurizio Umberto Puxeddu release 1.2 (a full or devel installation, because you need header files to compile Pitchtrack). If the library is not included in this distrubution, contact the author.

3.2 Things that are included in almost every Linux distribution

You may need the GNU autoconf utility (if your distribution has configure.in but lacks of the configure script).

3.3 Cleaning up

If you have an old version of Pitchtrack and you want to wipe out that old stuff, you can do it if you have the old release tarball. Untar the old release and do

 autoconf ; ./configure ; make uninstall 

possibly as root. Remember to use the same configure switches that you used for installing.

3.4 Installing

If your system satisfy all requirements, try

 autoconf ; ./configure ; make install 
You may have to do make install as root.

This will install Pitchtrack in the /usr/local directory tree. If you want to put the library in another directory, specify the path with the --prefix option to configure. Something like this:

./configure --prefix=/YOUR/PATH
of course, do this before you run make.

3.5 Un-installing

If you want to uninstall this version of Pitchtrack do

make uninstall
as root in the main directory of this source distribution. Once again, configure parameters must be the same as installation.

Please report problems to the author.
