PortAudio Binding for the Ada Programming Language
This is a thick binding of PortAudio. So effort has been made to get rid of all C-isms and C-specific types wherever possible. In particular:
- Pa_Initialize and Pa_Terminate are now automatic
- All error codes have been converted to exceptions
- Void pointers are completely absent
- Standard error is suppressed in C during init, so no unexpected text output
The package hierarchy is as follows:
- Portaudio (Version information, exceptions, and a few common minor types)
- Portaudio.Devices (Host_API and device related things)
- Portaudio.Streams (Streams, sample buffers, and callbacks)
A few short example programs are available in the example subdirectory.
Dependencies
Build time:
- gcc
- GNAT
- GPRbuild
- PortAudio
Run time:
- PortAudio
Building and Installation
This repository is written to use the GNAT Project Manager build tools. To build, use the following command
gprbuild portaudio.gpr
There is a single build switch of -Xbuild which can have a value of release
(the default) or debug.
To install the binding, use
gprinstall -p -m portaudio.gpr
The other gpr file example.gpr can be used to build the short example
programs provided.
For further information on the build tools, consult the GPRbuild docs.
