Compiling & Installing SC68

SC68 is an open source Atari ST and Amiga music player.
http://sc68.atari.org/ - https://sourceforge.net/p/sc68

During the Chiptune Jukebox project I needed to compile and install this software in order for my script to send the audio data to the YM2149 IC.

I came across a whole host of issues with the main one being that I couldn't find the right version that would recognise the flags I had in my script. ("-qqqn") I needed these flags for the whole thing to work properly and I KNEW there was a version out there somewhere that worked with it. That version would be version 3.
Although these are the steps I took on my Orange Pi Zero, it will most likely be the same for most Linux systems.

Getting the correct files

Make sure you have the dependencies installed:

sudo apt install subversion build-essential autoconf libtool automake pkg-config libao-dev zlib-dev libcurl-dev

Update Note: In newer versions of Linux you may need to replace zlib-dev libcurl-dev with zlib1g-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev.

Go somewhere you can store files easily, like your home folder.

cd ~

Checkout the code from Sourceforge.

svn checkout http://svn.code.sf.net/p/sc68/code/ sc68

Change directory to the one just downloaded.

cd sc68

Installation

Run:

tools/svn-bootstrap.sh

Once done, you can now run

./configure

If all is well, run

make

It may take a little while but once done, if there are no errors run:

sudo make install

Library files

If the result of running sc68 is an error about library locations, as it was for me, then simply do the following:

sudo cp /usr/local/lib/lib* /usr/lib/

Then try sc68 again. You should get:

sc68: missing input file. Try --help.

In which case, it's all done and should work for whatever you need it for!
