1 Introduction

• The Synergy MIDI sequencer
• The Eureka DAW / plugin host (work in progress)
• Several ("indie") 2D / 3D games
• Proprietary software (e.g. in-house graphics design tools, log-file parsers, code generators, ..)
• Text processing tools
  • md - a markdown to HTML converter
  • org - an org-mode like text processor, mind map converter, and project plan scheduler + report generator
    

• OpenGL (ES)
• Window / Event handling (via SDL)
• Math (linear algebra)
• File system access
• Zip files
• Networking (Ethernet, Bluetooth)
• Low latency audio (ASIO, PortAudio, OSS, ALSA)
• MIDI
• XML based user interfaces (tkui, SVG, TrueType)
  

• x86 / x64 Windows (2000 / XP / 7 / 8 / 10)
• x86 / x64 Linux
• x86 MacOSX (command line only)
• M68K AmigaOS 3.x (a while ago, CLI-only)

How to build: The first three packages (source, build, yac) are mandatory for building a command-line version of tks. The remaining packages are optional. Edit the toplevel makefile (makefile.linux or makefile.msvc) to choose which additional plugins will be built. Edit+Run . setenv_linux.sh or . setenv_msvc.sh to set up cross compiling / target platform / include+lib paths. It is recommended to set up a shell alias for make invocation, e.g. alias m="make -j20 -f makefile.msvc" Requirements / Prerequisites: The Windows build environment requires MSYS2 and the Microsoft Visual Studio compiler, e.g. the free-as-in-beer Community Edition. The Linux build environment requires GCC / G++, GNU make, and GNU Bash. The plugin bindings use the YaC (Yet another Component object model) interface, and the YInG interface generator. To rebuild the bindings for a specific module, run $ m yac in the plugin (or tks-source) directory.
