[Guidolib-devel] Linux Support

[J. S. A. <js...@sh...>]

Hello All,

As you may have already received notice by email, I will be working with
Holger and Keith here at UBC on some GUIDO programming projects.  As an
initial contribution to GUIDOLib, I can update the linux branch of the
lib-score-engine to use the standard auto* tools (GNU build system).  It
will involve checking in several files, and having the current makefile
removed.  *nix users (with autoconf, automake and libtools installed)
will then be able to run the supplied autogen.sh script, followed by the
standard ./configure, make and make install to build the GUIDO Score
Engine Library (either as a static or shared library).  Additionally, a
standard tar.gz file of the engine distribution can easily be made with
a make dist command from these files.  Everything has been reasonably
tested on my system here, and is only awaiting approval before checkin. 
The only bits of information I will need is a package and library name
and a version number.  Following standard naming schemes, I propose that
the library name be libscoreengine, or a more descriptive
libguidoscoreengine, or (a slightly easier to read version)
libguidoengine.  The package would then be named guidoengine-lib. 
Finally, a version number would be appended.  What is the current
version of the score engine?

I look forward to working with everyone,

Scott
