Ardour Session Utilities
========================
This folder contains some tools which directly use libardour to access ardour
sessions.
The overall goal it to provide some non-interactive unix-style commandline
tools, which are installed along with DAW.
2017-09-27 14:03:08 -04:00
These tools depend on the "dummy" backend to be available, configure ardour with e.g.
./waf configure --with-backends=jack,alsa,dummy ...

Adding new tools
----------------
2017-09-27 14:03:08 -04:00
One C++ source per tool, see "example.cc" and "export.cc"
2015-12-15 18:25:07 -05:00
cp session_utils/example.cc session_utils/your_new_tool_name.cc
edit session_utils/new_tool_name.cc
2017-09-27 14:03:08 -04:00
./waf
2015-12-15 18:25:07 -05:00
The tool is automatically compiled and deployed when installing, using the
program-name as prefix. e.g. "export.cc" becomes "ardour4-export".
(or "mixbus3-export", depending on the project configuration)
Test run from the source
------------------------
cd session_utils
2017-09-27 14:03:08 -04:00
./run ardour6-your_new_tool_name
or
./run ardour6-export --help
and to debug the tool under gdb/lldb:
./debug ardour6-export
