How to compile rtaudio on windows with mingw?

Question

I want to use rtaudio in my project. I am following instructions in install.txt which tells me to run ./configure then make.

When I run make I get bunch of warnings:

$ make
Making all in .
make[1]: Entering directory `/c/Users/Onur/Desktop/Development/rtaudio-4.1.2'
  CXX      RtAudio.lo

                                     ^

Would be awesome if someone could guide me on this.

Answer 1

I found a solution using cmake on windows:

1. Simply download cmake gui
2. Get the rtaudio source from github or their official webpage
3. Open RtAudio.h and include math.h
4. Generate build files with cmake gui to a seperate folder (toggle BUILD_TESTING off before configuring)
5. Navigate to build folder using a terminal. And run mingw32-make. Make sure mingw/bin is added to path so it ca find mingw32-make.
6. You should have three files: librtaudio.dll librtaudio.dll.a and librtaudio_static.a

This worked for me.
