It is hard to find a more robust and well developed Audio framework that JUCE and if your interest is in writing audio applications with C++, then go no further. However, if, for whatever reason, you want to write in a language other than C++, then JUCE's C++ nature can have its drawbacks.
This module provides a tiny C wrapper around JUCE's audio device manager, which proivdes a solid foundation for building audio libraries with other programming languages, such as C or Rust.
What it does not do is provide a wrapper around JUCE's many other excellent components, such as it UI framework, and so on. This might be useful to some, but the goal is is to provide a very minimal wrapper around JUCE's excellent audio framework, thus avoiding having to use alternative APIs, such as PortAudio.
- JUCE 6.x
- XCode, for Mac OS
- Visual Studio 2019, for Windows
- CMake 3.12 or greater
Create a JUCE instance for your platform, e.g. XCode or Visual Studio, with the project [AAStandaloneJUCE.jucer],
which is under the directory external/AAStandaloneJUCE. The CMake setup requires that the project is exported, including modules
under external/AAStandaloneJUCE. Once completed it should look like:
external
AAStandaloneJUCE
Builds
JuceLibraryCode
Note, make sure that the JUCE modules appear under external/AAStandaloneJUCE/modules.
Now to build with cmake:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
You can run one of the examples, such as sine wave generator, with:
./aaSine
To use include the header aa.h``, which is requires only aa_types.h``, and these two can be copied from
the include directory.
The library itself is built as a static library, for Mac OS:
libaa.a
and Windows:
libaa.lib
These will be built in the build directory.
