Installation: ------------- OS X: Mount the butt-.dmg by double clicking and drop the butt file into the Applications folder. WINDOWS: Just run the butt--setup.exe as usual and go through the installer pages. The default installation path might be unusual, but this way it is possible to install butt without administration rights. Linux/MinGW (Windows): First of all the following libraries have to be installed on your system fltk-1.3, portaudio19, libmp3lame, libvorbis, libogg, libflac, libopus, libsamplerate, libfdk-aac, libdbus-1, libcurl, libssl, portmidi They are quite common and should be included in every popular linux distribution. On Ubuntu you can install them with sudo apt-get install libfltk1.3-dev portaudio19-dev libopus-dev libmp3lame-dev libvorbis-dev \ libogg-dev libflac-dev libfdk-aac-dev libdbus-1-dev libsamplerate0-dev \ libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libportmidi-dev \ On openSUSE you can install them with sudo zypper in fltk-devel portaudio-devel libmp3lame-devel libvorbis-devel libogg-devel flac-devel \ libfdk-aac-devel libopus-devel libopenssl-devel libopus-devel libsamplerate-devel dbus-1-devel \ libcurl-devel portmidi-devel On Distributions which don't have libfdk-aac like Debian you can compile without aac support: ./configure --disable-aac For compiling on Windows I recommend the msys2 x64 (www.msys2.org) environment. They have all the needed packages in their pacman repository. Additionally you need to install the libwinpthread-git package. Make sure that you select the x64 version of each package. After installing the above libraries you can install butt from source as usual: tar -xzf butt-.tar.gz cd butt- ./configure make sudo make install In case the included configure script or the make process fails on your system, try to create a new configure script by invoking: autoreconf -i and start with ./configure again.
