soundscope, an X-Y oscilloscope, was written by Rusty Wagner and contains very minor additions (plus an example
song) by Alexander Taylor.
The following describes build requirements for each platform. Once the requirements are satisfied, you should
simply need to run make to build soundscope.
To build on OS X, you'll need the OS X Developer Tools from Xcode. If you have Xcode installed, you can force the
installation of the command-line utilities by doing xcode-select --install. Specifically, you'll need clang
and the OpenGL framework.
You will also need SDL. The easiest way to obtain this is through Homebrew. Once you have
Homebrew installed, simply do brew install sdl.
To build on Linux (and probably any other Unix-like OS), you'll need a C++ compiler (g++ recommended), OpenGL
libraries, and SDL. If you're on a Debian-based system, the following should install what you need:
sudo apt-get install build-essential mesa-common-dev libsdl1.2-dev
You should be able to simply run soundscope on the command-line with any WAV or RAW audio file. An example
has been provided with the repository:
./soundscope alpha_molecule.wav
