I made yet another CVS commit, now the Instruments DB on Windows gets automatically created. it checks for the existence of "%USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db" if it does not exists then the .linuxsampler subdir is created and then a new empty Instruments DB is created ( calls InstrumentsDb::Format() )
That way we don't have to worry about the user or the installer manually creating an Instruments DB before using LS. cheers, Benno 2009/6/6 Benno Senoner <benno.seno...@googlemail.com>: > I forgot to say those compiling LS under Windows have to create an > empty Instruments DB > before running it. > just do: > > mkdir "%USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler" > linuxsampler.exe --create-instruments-db > "%USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db" > > in the final release the installer will either do it for you and > provide an entry in the start menu to create the > DB or as Andreas proposed LS could automatically create the DB at > startup time in case it is not found. > > cheers, > Benno > > > > 2009/6/6 Benno Senoner <benno.seno...@googlemail.com>: >> Hi all, >> thanks for the patch Andreas, I applied it. >> >> I commited some updates to Instruments DB support under Windows to CVS >> and now it >> works in both standalone and VST mode. >> >> Together with Andreas we decided to place the instruments DB file in >> %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db >> (USERPROFILE points to the user's home dir usually C:\Documents and >> Settings\username) >> >> which is multi user friendly and allows each Windows user to have his >> own instruments DB. >> >> Now Windows users should have no reason to be envious of Linux or OS/X users >> :) >> >> cheers, >> Benno >> >> >> >> >> 2009/6/6 Andreas Persson <andreas.pers...@adamomail.se>: >>> On 06/05/2009 05:58 PM, Benno Senoner wrote: >>>> >>>> With the help of Andreas and Grigor I was able to implement >>>> Instruments DB support on Windows I already commited the changes to >>>> CVS. >>> >>> I get some ugly warnings when I cross-compile.
