Hi Wade, please _carefully_ read the cm/readme.text file, it tells you what every dependency is and it gives you links to the places for you to get it.
thats doubly important on linux because there are a number of apt-get systems you may need to install to build there, e.g alsa and a few more. This is covered in the section "Building a static JUCE library on Linux" at the end of the read me and includes a link to an explanation of what exactly you will need to install and how to install it.

once you have premake4 installed  on your path and have done apt-get on all the linux dependancies you can cd to the cm dir and do
	premake4 --help

for a list of build options (also covered in the readme.text file…) and the command

	premake4
	make

will make the core version of the Grace app -- Common Music in S7/Sndlib -- that will be saved in the executable  bin/Grace

Please let me know anything you find unclear in the readme,  i really try my hard to make things clear and simple

(and in my book doing...

	premake4
	make

...is about as simple as it can get for such complicated software ;)  )


best, rick

After installing premake and trying "premake premake4" (and later, "premake --premake4," "premake --premake4.lua", etc.) I get the response "No premake script found!"  But isn't premake4.lua the script in question?  And how to I invoke it?  (I've already tried making it executable, and even the cm directory to PATH.)

If you deselect all midi out devices in the menu, Grace will switch to its new internal synth plugin ("apple's dsl music synth") when you generate midi.  the plugin sounds much better than SimpleSynth. you can tweak plugin parameters using the new "Synth Settings..." item in the audio menu
