- quick info = Please turn you browser to http://www.buzztard.org to learn what this project is about. Buzztard is free software and distributed under the LGPL.
- intro = The libbml is a library that loads buzz machines from the windows music composer buzz, so that Linux apps can use them. This lib is either using the libavifile wrapper or the libfst one. See original README in README.libfst for the latter.
- installing = You need to copy the all *.dll libraries from a windows buzz installation to your LD_LIBARY_PATH. We recommend to copy them to buzztard-prefix/lib. Now you need to fix up some library names. ln -s Dsplib.dll dsplib.dll ln -s Nblib.dll nblib.dll ln -s Ninereeds Dsplib.dll Ninereeds DSPLIB.dll
Next copy the machines. You can e.g. just copy the whole Gear folder to
buzztard-prefix/lib as well.
Then export this path, e.g.:
export BML_PATH=$HOME/buzztard/lib/Gear/Effects:$HOME/buzztard/lib/Gear/Generators
You might need to fix some machine names (e.g. names with '?' in them).
- usage = For testing, create a folder 'machines' and put some original buzz machines in there. After building invoke : env LD_LIBRARY_PATH="./bml" ./bml/bmltest_info ./machines/mymachine.dll or alternatively run the testmachine.sh script to probe a whole directory with machines.
- problems = == /dev/zero needs to be executable == make sure your /dev/zero is executable (needed for mmap() )
== multithreading ==
before calling lib code in multithreaded environments we should call:
Check_FS_Segment();
