i have installed artifastring but get the following errors:

That message was brought to you my autotools, I didn't type it. I don't have a
Mac to test this stuff on so thanks for bringing it to my attention.

So on my Linux box, I get this:

nick@ariel:~/Research/SMRGyGurdy$ pkg-config --libs artifastring
-L/usr/local/lib -lartifastring -lm -lfftw3f

I guess you don't. Again, on my Linux box:

nick@ariel:~/Research/SMRGyGurdy$ ls -l /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/
artifastring.pc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 337 Nov 16 15:01 /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/
artifastring.pc

I suppose it might be worth a try to find where that artifastring.pc is
installed on your Mac (presumably under /opt/something) then try
adding the directory to PKG_CONFIG_PATH. So say it got installed as /opt/lib/
pkgconfig/artifastring.pc, then if PKG_CONFIG_PATH is empty...

nick@ariel:~/Research/SMRGyGurdy$ echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH

(like mine), just do

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/something

and configure. If it's not empty, you'll need to do something like

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/opt/something

instead.

We've only ever built this on Linux boxes. I think you might have a bit of
difficulty using anything except the dummy and modulation pedals, and I also
don't know how the Mac CoreMIDI (is that what it's called?) works, so even the
latter might need a bit of patching. The Linux-specific pedal support can be
turned off with the following configure options:

--without-comedi Do not support comedi devices
--without-serialpedal Do not support devices connected to serial/USB
serial ports

Comedi is a generic A-D interface for Linux ( http://www.comedi.org/
) and the serialpedal just reads numbers from the USB /dev/ttyS files to
receive data from a USB serial pedal.

Anyway, let me know how you get on. I'd be delighted if it worked on a Mac
too! I have quite a few students who have Macs, but they are electronics
engineers; I don't think many of them cut the mustard with autoconf and
friends.

Well, not really yet (although it may shortly feature on a CD!) but I do have
a little video of me talking about how it works. We went to the International
Conference on Organology in Portugal and I gave a paper about it. It's a
wonderful conference full of musicians, historians, composers, preservers,
builders and scientists. I'm on the Scientific Committee for it. I made a
personal video there from snips other people sent me. It's not really,ahem,
professional quality, but you can look at it if you like because I have no
shame.

There's my comedy act trying to give a 40 minute paper in about 15 minutes
because the other guys had overrun. Then there's a bunch of songs with a duet
of singers from Scottish Voices singing our Composer's microtonal duets. I
think they are using a harmonium accompaniment though, so the SMRGyGurdy only
appears in the presentation.

Presentation starts at 3:39.
