Hello,
I trying my first steps with Supercollider. Build and install
went without any probles, and I learned just enough elisp to
get scel running in emacs.
Now the problem seems to be that sclang and scsynth do not
talk to each other. How is the sclang -> scsynth UDP link
configured ? There is no option in sclang to set the port
number it sends to so probably this is fixed. OTOH, scsynth
requires a port number for the -u option, but what should
this be ?
TIA,

It is automatically brought up if you call s.boot.

No, the second argument to Server-boot is an optional
NetAddr instance, which you can use to connect to some server
running on a non-standard port or even on a remote host (not localhost).
OTOH, scsynth requires a port number for the -u
option, but what
should this be ?
As I said above, you usually don't start scsynth yourself, you
usually let sclang bring it up for you:
(
s.local.boot;
)
For more details, look at the Server and ServerOptions helpfile
(use C-c C-h in an Emacs SCEL buffer to access the helpfiles).

Thanks for your reply, and yes, that's what I found out.
For more details, look at the Server and ServerOptions
helpfile
(use C-c C-h in an Emacs SCEL buffer to access the helpfiles).
The help items in the sclang menu don't seem to work. They
want a directory 'SuperCollider/help', and there is no 'help'
directory at all in what I co'd from CVS. Also "Show server
panels" prints the command name in the minibuffer, and that's all.
Is there a list of all the available classes, their methods and
paramters ? The only thing I found is a 5 year old PDF document
on SC2. Most of the examples in this text do no work at all -
probably a lot has changed between SC2 and SC3.
It really seems SC is the tool I've been waiting for, so I will
spend whatever time and effort required in order to learn to
master it. But starting from the little documentation that I
was able to find is a bit hard :-(
In the longer term, I'd like to be able to write programs that
use scsynth directly as a 'synthesizer server'.

The Help files files should be in SuperCollider3/build/Help in the
source distribution afaik

If that's 'Help' with a capital H then I'll have to look again.
Noticing the error from the help command, I tried to find out
where the help files had been installed:
find / -name help 2>/dev/null
and found nothing for SuperCollider.
Thaks for the hint.

Yep it's a captial H :) The install target in the linux makefile does
not seem to put the Help files into a systemwide location like
/usr/local/share/SuperCollider3/Help. I think i will write a mail to
the SC3 list pointing this out.

you need to set the elisp variable `sclang-help-directory' to
point to the rtf help files in the CVS sources, e.g.
(setq sclang-help-directory "~/src/SuperCollider3/build/Help")
you can set it either in ~/.emacs or graphically via M-x
sclang-customize
For more details, look at the Server and
ServerOptions helpfile
(use C-c C-h in an Emacs SCEL buffer to access the helpfiles).

directory at all in what I co'd from CVS. Also "Show server panels" prints the command

the linux GUI stuff is not in CVS yet, you can get it here:

methods and
paramters ? The only thing I found is a 5 year old PDF document
on SC2. Most of the examples in this text do no work at all -
probably a lot has changed between SC2 and SC3.
SC2 tutorials are fine for learning about syntax and basics,
but the interface to sound generation has changed a lot
indeed.
It really seems SC is the tool I've been waiting
for, so I will
spend whatever time and effort required in order to learn to
master it. But starting from the little documentation that I
was able to find is a bit hard :-(
the help files in the distribution are actually pretty
extensive, you just have to know how to access them :)
pressing C-c C-h in an sclang-buffer in emacs lets you enter a
help topic (with tab completion) with a supplied default when
the cursor is over a documented identifier. the help topic
`Help' links to many other documents.
there are also shortcuts to dig around in the class library
(finding method implementations etc.), all of which can be
found in a little scel tutorial on the site above.
In the longer term, I'd like to be able to write
programs that
use scsynth directly as a 'synthesizer server'.
then the help topics `Server-Command-Reference' and
`Synth-Definition-File-Format' are your friends ...

I know what to do this evening... :-)
Had a quick look at your website. The SCUM stuff looks great,
can't wait to try this out. Also followed the link to Dave's
tutorial - if only I had found this a bit sooner... :-)
Apart from the little problems you and other list members
already solved, I should say the build and install process
really worked flawlessly, which is by no means evident for
a ported application. Thanks a lot for you work.
