An open source audio editing software.

Polygamma dependes on Qt 5, Python 3.5, Boost 1.61, avcodec, avformat, avutil, swresample, and SDL2. Boost.Python must be compiled with Python 3 support.

It is best to do an out of source build at build/ directory. Create a subdirectory build and run

cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make

If cmake is unable to find Qt5Widgets, try feeding it the following option:

-DQt5Widgets_DIR = <directory containing Qt5WidgetsConfig.cmake>

The configuration file is .polygamma in the user's home directory. Currently many of its options are not avaliable in the UI, so users will have to modify them in the text based XML file.

The script update.py is used to introduce new source files or new QObject headers to CMakeLists.txt.

All QObject headers must lie in the directory src/ui/.

Polygamma's source codes are formatted according to the following astyle configuration:

--style=allman
--align-pointer=type	
--close-templates
--convert-tabs
--indent-preproc-block
--indent-preproc-define
--indent=tab=2
--pad-header
--unpad-paren

Polygamma's include guards are formatted according to the .formatGen file in the root directory.

Polygamma usually run in two threads. The GUI/main thread contains all GUI interactions managed by Qt, and the Kernel thread which contains the function void Kernel::start(). The Kernel must be halted with void Kernel::halt(), otherwise segmentation faults occur upon application exit.

Interthread communication is done with boost::spsc_queues. The Kernel contains one queue for commands going in and two queues for outputs going into the GUI.
