	 		FAUST : a programming language for

	 		  audio applications and plugins

					==============

	 Grame, Centre National de Creation Musicale

1/ Introduction

----------------

FAUST (Functional Audio Stream) is a functional programming

language specifically designed for real-time signal processing and

synthesis. A distinctive characteristic of FAUST is to be fully

compiled. 

The FAUST compiler translates DSP specifications into

very efficient C++ code that works at sample level. It targets

high-performance signal processing applications, libraries and

audio plug-ins for a variety of audio platforms and standards. A

same FAUST specification can be used to easily generate native

JACK or ALSA applications, as well as CSOUND, LADSPA, MAX/MSP, PD,

Q, SC and VST plugins. 

2/ Organization of the distribution

-----------------------------------

The Faust distribution can be downloaded at:

	http://sourceforge.net/projects/faudiostream

It's organization is the following :

	architecture/		: the architecture files and libraries 

						  currently supported

	benchmark/			: tools to measure the impact of various 

                          compiler options

	compiler/			: sources of the Faust compiler

	documentation /		: Faust developer's documentation

	examples/			: examples of Faust programs with makefiles

						  for various audio targets

	syntax-highlighting/: support for syntax highlighting for 

						  several editors

	tools/				: Additional easy-to-use scripts to 

						  produce binaries and plugins

3.a/ Dependencies

--------------------------------

The faust2 development branch has dependencies to :

- llvm/clang (> 3.1) (has to be installed in universal mode [32/64 bits] on OSX) 

- openssl (has to be installed in universal mode [32/64 bits] on OSX) 

3.b/ Compilation and installation

--------------------------------

To compile and install the Faust compiler on Linux and MacOSX : 

	make

	su

	make install

or

	sudo make install

It could be also useful to install additional tools, for example :

	cd tools/faust2appls/

	sudo make install

On Windows :

The first option is to use the Visual Studio 2008 solution

/faust/compiler/windows/faust_vs2008.sln. Open the solution with

the Visual Studio 2008 environment and run Build. Both

Debug/Release targets are supported.

The second solution is to download and install the QT4.6 SDK : 

	http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/sdk-windows-cpp

and use the project file 'compiler.pro' in the compiler folder.

2/ Compilation of the examples

-------------------------------

Several FAUST examples are provided in the example folder. To

compile and test the examples with Jack/GTK do :

	cd examples

	make jackgtk

This will create a subfolder jackgtkdir with all the jack

applications. You can also create alsa applications (make alsagtk)

as well as other formats.

In order to compile your own applications, you can simply place you

files in the example folder and use the existing makefiles.

To list for possible audio targets :

	make help

About 20 different audio platforms are supported : 

- Action Script

- Alsa

- ChucK

- CoreAudio

- CSOUND

- iPhone

- Jack

- LADSPA

- Matlab

- MaxMSP

- Octave

- OSS

- PortAudio

- Pure

- PureData

- Q

- Sndfile

- Snd-RT

- SuperCollider

- SynthFile

- VST

- VSTi (mono)

For all these audio platforms you may have to install the related

SDK and/or development libraries.
