Peter,
My feelings exactly.
As regards Csound, most of our listservs are users; developers are relatively
few and tend to communicate largely among themselves.
Though I also am a member of csound-dev, I was unaware of the old/new parser
status. I knew the new parser was (and has been long) "under development". I'd
no idea how or if it was incorporated into Csound5.13.
Only a few folk (not including myself) actually build Csound - mostly Linux
people (again, not me). I just installed Windows Csound(5.13) this evening for
the first time - to discover that it was built with default old parser. News to
me.
There's much discussion of Csound lists about how documentation and user
materials are subpar - especially for newbees. This makes it overly difficult
for Csound to attract new users.
At any rate, thanks again for all you do. And I'm always here to test.

Art,
It seems I did get the mail but some how missed it.
Sigh! How so typical of CSound to make the new parser the default even though
they themselves don't recommend it, nor do they really even document it
anywhere! GRR!
I'll have a look at the build and see what else it will affect, csound isn't
just there for Sugar.

Peter -
Did you ever receive the messages collated below? (They largely occurred on
the csound-dev list.)
Are the questions you mentioned (ones that were never answered) the ones
addressed here?
If not, please send them again. To my knowledge, the simple "Csound
solution" is running scons with the option:
buildRelease=1
But maybe I completely misunderstand.

Peter:
I presume you received the messages immediately listed below, regarding a
solution to the old/new Csound parser issue ("build csound with the scons
option buildRelease=1").
If you sent questions either to this group, or the Csound-developers
list, I'm sorry; I didn't receive them. Are they perhaps answered in the
messages quoted below?
Also, as I wrote to you a week or so ago, there are no current MIDI
issues with Csound and Sugar. (I had mistakenly thought there were earlier.)
I remain eager to test a rebuilt Csound in the Fedora 15 SoaS context, to
determine if my activities are compatible - and look forward to your upcoming
test release.
Thanks again for all your work on behalf of things musical within SoaS.

(Message to csound development listserv)
Steve, Victor and Peter Robinson:
The run-time (CsOptions) flag --old-parser makes my CSD's run flawlessly.
(Thanks for the suggestion/solution, Steve.)
I don't imagine my CSD's are the only ones affected.
Peter, I'd strongly recommend Victor's suggestion of incorporating the
scons option buildRelease=1 into the Csound build for Fedora 15. (For one
thing, it would for the time being not require changes to my Activities.)
Comments anyone?

That is a run-time option. But if you build csound with the scons
option buildRelease=1, the old parser
should be the default. This is the recommended (new parser is no ready
for big time yet).

Hi Steve,
Is that a compile or run time option? If the former what are the
implications?

Hi Art,
No idea. I replied to the email you CC:ed me on and had no answers to
my questions. I have a couple of outstanding items I need to test and
fix on SoaS and will put out a test image in the next couple of days
and you can test it and tell me as you well no I have no ability to
test midi on soas.
As a side note please make sure you:
1) Create a new email when sending things and no hijack a completely
irrelevant email.
2) Send it to the SoaS list. There is no need to send this directly to
me.
Regards,
Peter

Hello, Peter,
Is the Csound5 new/old parser issue now solved for the upcoming
Fedora 15
SoaS release?
If so, is there a testing .iso I could try - to see if my activities
are
compatible with it?
Thanks -
Art Hunkins
