+ TiMidity++ Installation guide
+
+ Masanao Izumo
+ <iz@onicos.co.jp>
+ Mar.01.2004
+ version 2.13.0 or later
+======================================================================
+
+This document describes how to install TiMidity++ for your UNIX-like
+machine.
+
+You can configure and make timidity.exe on the Cygwin environment of
+Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003. If you are in Windows, install
+Cygwin (or mingw) if you do not have them.
+
+Today's Macintosh has FreeBSD userland, so things described here would
+fly. Methods for older Macintosh ("Classic") are not described here.
+
+======================================================================
+Basic Installation
+======================================================================
+
+TiMidity++ uses GNU autotools to build. So the simplest way to
+compile this package is:
+
+1. "cd" to the directory containing TiMidity++'s source code and type
+ "./configure" to configure the package for your system. If you are
+ using csh on an old version of System V, you might need to type
+ "/bin/sh configure" instead to prevent csh from trying to execute
+ configure itself. Running configure takes a while. While running,
+ it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for.
+2. Type "make" to compile the package.
+ NOTE: this make method requires GNU make. So if your system has it
+ as gamke, type "gmake" instead.
+3. Type "make install" to install the programs and any data files and
+ documentation.
+
+======================================================================
+More complecated way
+======================================================================
+
+The full installation process is:
+
+1. configre
+2. edit common.makefile, Makefile, timidity.h if necessery
3. make
--------
- Once finished above setting, type
+4. installation
+5. set up voice data
+
+Each processes are explained in following sections. Note that % is
+the shell prompt.
+
+======================================================================
+Configure
+======================================================================
+
+First, execute the following command:
+
+% /bin/sh configure --help
+
+Many options of configure will be displayed. Most of them, such as
+--help, --prefix=PREFIX, and so on are the regular ones. They exisits
+on most package that uses autoconf and you do not have to worry about
+their behavior.
+
+There also exists some options that is typical to TiMidity++. Main of
+these are the following:
+
+--enable-debug
+ Enables debug. Things will be compiled with debugging methods/
+ informations.
+
+--without-x
+ TiMidity++ uses X by default. So you must specify this option to
+ prevent linker from linking X libraries.
+
+--enable-audio[=audio_list]
+ Enables TiMidity++ to play MIDI files. If --enable-audio=no,
+ TiMidity++ acts as a MIDI-to-WAVE converter.
+
+ You can specify one or more audio-device listed below.
+
+ * default: Automatically select audio device.
+ * oss: OSS /dev/dsp
+ * sun: SunOS /dev/audio
+ * hpux: hp-ux /dev/audio
+ * irix: IRIX audio library
+ * mme: OSF/1 MME
+ * sb_dsp: BSD/OS 2.0 /dev/sb_dsp
+ * w32: Windows MMS
+ * darwin: darwin(Mac OS X)'s CoreAudio frameowrk
+ * alsa: ALSA pcm device
+ * alib: hp-ux network audio (Alib)
+ * nas: NAS
+ * portaudio: PortAudio
+ * jack: JACK
+ * arts: aRts
+ * esd: EsounD
+ * vorbis: ogg vorbis
+ * gogo: mp3 Gogo-No-Coder (Windows only)
-% make
+--enable-interface[=interface_list]
+--enable-dynamic[=interface_list]
+ Specify which interface to use. If you use --enable-dynamic instead
+ of --enable-interface, the interfaces specified will be linked
+ dynamically and the binary size would become a bit smaller.
- This make method requires GNU make. Some system has it as gmake.
+ You can select one or more interfaces listed below.
-Note: Some system announces warnings
+ * ncurses: ncurses interface.
+ * slang: S-Lang interface.
+ * motif: Motif interface. Motif interface also works under Lestiff.
+ * tcltk: Tcl/Tk interface.
+ * emacs: Emacs front-end. Type M-x timidity to invoke.
+ * vt100: The full-screen interface using vt100 terminal control codes.
+ * xaw: X Athena Widget interface.
+ * xskin: X skin interface.
+ * gtk: GTK+ interface.
+ * w32gui: Build as Windows GUI binary.
+ * winsyn: Build as TiMidity++ Windows Synthesizer server.
+ * alsaseq: Build as ALSA sequencer client.

-vendorShellWidgetClass
+ Note that
+ --enable-interface=INTERFACE1,INTERFACE2,...
+ equals as
+ --enable-INTERFACE1=yes --enable-INTERFACE2=yes ...
+ and for the same way,
+ --enable-dynamic=INTERFACE1,INTERFACE2,...
+ equals as
+ --enable-INTERFACE1=dynamic --enable-INTERFACE2=dynamic ...
-in linking XAW. But it makes no matter. Don't worry.
+--enable-network
+ Enables network support. This will allow TiMidity++ to open a MIDI
+ file via network. You can specify the location of MIDI files by
+ http://foo.com.tw/bar/baz.mid - like format.
+--enable-spectrogram
+ With this option specified, TiMidity++ can open a window on X and
+ show sound-spectrogram there.
-4. install
-----------
- On UNIX, you can type `make install' to install all files. Or you
-can select follows:
+--enable-wrd
+ WRD is a Japanese local lyric-contents format. This option enables
+ WRD interface.
- make install.bin - installs executable files
- make install.tk - installs Tcl/Tk interface
- make install.el - installs Emacs interface
- make install.man - installs man files
- make install - installs all files
+* Environment variables and flags to pass to configure
- I recommend to check the install directories and files by executing
+Some MIDI files eat too much CPU power. If you choose correct
+optimizing method, TiMidity++ can play such MIDI files smoothly.
-% make -n ...
+You can tell configure which optimizing method to use by following
+environmental variables:
- On Windows, `make install' is not worked in current version
-(v1.3.0). So please copy timidity/timidity.exe to any where by hand.
+CC
+ the C compiler command e.g. "/usr/bin/gcc"
-
-5. Search for various voice data
-
- TiMidity++ uses GUS/patch (Glavis Ultrasound) as the voice data to
-play. You must get GUS/patch files, and make the configuration file.
-You must make the configuration file (*.cfg). By default,
-timidity.cfg is /usr/local/lib/timidity/timidity.cfg (or
-C:\WINDOWS\TIMIDITY.CFG on Windows). And please check the following
-sites for many voice(patch) data:
-
-
-http://www.goice.co.jp/timidity/gus/ (33M patch)
-http://www.goice.co.jp/timidity/dist/cfg/ (Some samples of *.cfg)
-http://www.i.h.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~shom/timidity/ (10M or 4M patch)
-ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/gus/sound/patches/files/ (GUS site)
-
-If you got funny voice archive, extract it to appropriate directory
-and configure *.cfg files with the name and path of these voice dates.
-
-
-
-==============================================================================
- configuration of timidity.h
-==============================================================================
- Edit CONFIG_FILE to your convenience. By default,
+CFLAGS
+ flags to pass to ${CC} e.g. "-O2 -pipe"
+
+LDFLAGS
+ flags to pass to linker e.g. "-L/usr/gnu/lib"
+
+CPPFLAGS
+ flags to pass to preprocessor e.g. "-traditional-cpp"
+
+Your compiler may have many optimization flags. For example, in case
+of ultrasparc/gcc, you can specify:
+
+% env CFLAGS='-O3 -Wall -mv8 -funroll-all-loops -fomit-frame-pointer \
+ -mcpu=ultrasparc' /bin/sh configure [configure-options]...
+
+and the binary will (hopefully) run faster.
+
+======================================================================
+Edit some files
+======================================================================
+
+If make fails, or if you want to change some parameters, edit
+common.makefile, Makefile, or timidity.h manually.
+
+* Parameters in timidity.h
+
+There are some options that are hard-coded into timidity binary. They
+are # define-ed in timidity.h. You have to change things there if you
+want to change these flags.
+

- Next, configuration of max polyphony numbers. By default:
+Configuration of default polyphony numbers. By default:
-#define DEFAULT_VOICES 32
-#define MAX_VOICES 256
+#define DEFAULT_VOICES 256
-DEFAULT_VOICE is the polyphony number in boot-time. This value is
-configurable by the command line option (-p) from 0 to MAX_VOICES. If
-your machine has much CPU power,
+DEFAULT_VOICE is the polyphony number in boot-time. This value is
+configurable by the command line option (-p) from 1 to until memory is
+allowed. If your machine has much CPU power,

-#define AUDIO_BUFFER_BITS 11
+#define AUDIO_BUFFER_BITS 12
I guess this values no need to change.
+** CONTROLS_PER_SECOND
- Next, value of CONTROLS_PER_SECOND. By default:
+TiMidity++ do not calculate every envelope changes, but calculate some
+samples at one time. Small controls yields better quality sound, but
+also eat much CPU time. By default:
#define CONTROLS_PER_SECOND 1000
+This can be changed from command line. Leave as it is.
+
+** DEFAULT_RESAMPLATION
+
+Type of interpolation engine. By default:
+
+#define DEFAULT_RESAMPLATION resample_gauss
+
+This definition cause TiMidity++ to Gauss-like interpolation in re-
+sampling, and the quality of sound would be nice. But it eats CPU
+powers. I recommend define it if your machine has much power. Other
+choices are (sorted by their speed):
+
+#define DEFAULT_RESAMPLATION resample_none
+#define DEFAULT_RESAMPLATION resample_linear
+#define DEFAULT_RESAMPLATION resample_lagrange
+#define DEFAULT_RESAMPLATION resample_cspline

+#define DEFAULT_RESAMPLATION resample_newton
- Next, interpolation in re-sampling. By default:
+Interpolation methods are changeable from the command line. If you
+want to prevent users from doing so, uncomment next line and define as
+this:
-#define LINEAR_INTERPOLATION
+#define FIXED_RESAMPLATION
-This definition cause TiMidity++ to linear interpolation in
-re-sampling, and the quality of sound would be nice. But it eats CPU
-powers. I recommends define it if your machine has much power.
+** USE_DSP_EFFECT
+Configuration of USE_DSP_EFFECT to refine chorus, delay, EQ and
+insertion effect. Default enabled.
- Next, configuration of LOOKUP_HACK. By default, this features are
-undefined like this:

-/* #define LOOKUP_HACK
- #define LOOKUP_INTERPOLATION */
+Configuration of LOOKUP_HACK. By default, this features are undefined
+like this:
+
+/* #define LOOKUP_HACK */
+/* #define LOOKUP_INTERPOLATION */
This option saves a little CPU power, but sound quality would decrease
noticeably. If your machine suffers from lack of CPU power, enable
it.
+** SMOOTH_MIXING
+
+Defining this greatly reduces popping due to large volume/pan changes.
+This is definitely worth the slight increase in CPU usage.
+
+** FAST_DECAY
- Next, configuration of FAST_DECAY. By default:
+Configuration of FAST_DECAY. By default:
/* #define FAST_DECAY */
since the release time of voices is shorten, the sound would be poor.
This feature is controllable in command line option.
+** FRACTION_BITS
- Next, configuration of FRACTION_BITS. By default:
+TiMidity++ uses fixed-point calculation. Its default is
#define FRACTION_BITS 12
-I recommend leave this value.
+and you don't have to change this value.
+** ADJUST_SAMPLE_VOLUMES
- Next, configuration of adjusting amplitude of GUS/patch. By default:
+Configuration of adjusting amplitude of GUS/patch. By default:
#define ADJUST_SAMPLE_VOLUMES
This option makes TiMidity to adjust amplitudes of each GUS/patch to
same volume.
+** DENGEROUS_RENICE
- Next, configuration of DANGEROUS_RENICE. By default this feature
-is disabled:
+By default this feature is disabled:
/* #define DANGEROUS_RENICE -15 */
If you want to increase process priority of TiMidity++ by using setuid
-root enable this option. This option is only available in UNIX. Once
-you enabled this option, you should install timidity with the
-following procedure:
+root enable this option. This option is only available in UNIX. Once
+you enabled this option, you should install timidity with the follow-
+ing procedure:

enabled.
+** MAX_DIE_TIME
- Next, configuration of MAX_DIE_TIME. By default:
+If this value is too small, click noise would be come. Default is:
#define MAX_DIE_TIME 20
-If this value is too small, click noise would be come. I recommend
-this value leave to this.
+and I recommend this value leave to this.
+
+** LOOKUP_SINE
+
+#define LOOKUP_SINE
+On some machines (especially PCs without math coprocessors), looking
+up sine values in a table will be significantly faster than computing
+them on the fly. I recommend define it.
- Next, configuration of optimizing re-sampling. By default:
+** PRECALC_LOOPS
+
+Configuration of optimizing re-sampling. By default:
#define PRECALC_LOOPS
-This option saves some CPU power only in some system.

- Next, configuration of size of pre-re-sampling cache. By default:
+Size of pre-re-sampling cache. By default:
#define DEFAULT_CACHE_DATA_SIZE (2*1024*1024)
+This can be changed from command line, so you don't have to change
+here.
+
+* Configurations about network
+
+TiMidity++ can access any files via networks with URL. This feature
+are configurable in Makefile. If you have enabled this feature in
+Makefile (configure --enable-network), configure the following macros:
+
+** MAIL_DOMAIN

+make. If you do not have, get one first. If you have one in a
+different name than "make", type its true name instead.
- REVERB_CONTROL_ALLOW
- Enable reverb control by default. This feature requires too much
- CPU power. So this option prevents TiMidity++ from playing in real
- time if this option is enabled (in command line / this define).

+TiMidity++ uses Either GUS/patch, or SoundFont(, or both) as the voice
+data to play. You must get a SoundFont or GUS/patch files, and make
+the configuration file. You must make the configuration file (*.cfg).
+By default, timidity.cfg is /usr/local/share/timidity/timidity.cfg (or
+C:\WINDOWS\TIMIDITY.CFG on Windows). And please check the following
