The code linked to this page is part of a report submitted as coursework for Physics 210, Stanford University, Fall 2007. It is written in C and posted as the tarball guitar.tar.gz. The instructions for compiling with gcc under linux and running are
tar -zxf piano.tar.gz
./runwavefiles.sh
This code invokes the libsndfile libraries to generate .wav files. These libraries, obtained from www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile are posted here as the tarball libsndfile-1.0.17.tar.gz. The compilation instructions are
tar -zxf libsndfile-1.0.17.tar.gz
cd libsndfile-1.0.17
./configure
make
make install
The default installation directory is /usr/local/lib. Under some unix distributions (e.g. Fedora Core 5) ld is not set up to look in /usr/local/lib. Running the executable will then result in a message like "error while loading shared libraries libsndfile.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory." The simplest solution to this problem is to create a soft link in a directory that ld searches, for example
cd /usr/lib
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libsndfile.so.1.0.17 libsndfile.so.1
