Re: Installing csound5 from source on fedora 8

Hi Alan,

Thank you for posting this guide. I've been building checkouts of
Csound from CVS since long time using Fedora and always thought about
starting some wiki or blog page where to post a guide for Linux users
wanting to build Csound (I often see people in the list asking for
instructions). The only step I found surprising in your guide was the
one about changing the path to FLTK in custom.py. In all my builds
(including the last one one month ago) using Fedora 8 I've never had
to touch that file or had the problems with the math.h and dirent.h
files. And I've been building with almost everything except for
CsoundVST (and FLTK works). Did you try building without changing
custom.py?

I'm glad John answered the question regarding the value for gcc4opt,
I've been trying to use that flag and getting the same error you got
and since then forgot to try again. It might help with the
performance. Is i686 the right value for a core2duo processor?

Cheers,

Hector
