Compilation and Running:

If you don't know how to compile, you can download the Windows binaries or the Linux binaries. Look on the "Download" section from this page.

First of all, you have to change the Makefile.inc, to choose some settings (like OS, AudioOut, etc.)

Run "make" in the source directory. Hope all goes right. Right now, there is no "make install".

After compilation run the "zynaddsubfx" file from the source directory. If you want to run zynaddsubfx without clicks, run with root priorities(this is not necessary when running with jack). If you use ALSA, don't forget to connect the midi output device (or program) with ZynAddSubFX (you can use "aconnect" or "alsa-patch-bay" to do this).

Read "README.txt" and "compile.win32" from the source directory for more information.
