#Building

Sound Mantras are written in mnolth, which needs to be built with x264 support and the experimental mnolth audio nodes (mnodes). x264, ffmpeg, and SoX are required as external dependencies.

Clone mnolth, and mnodes, and then symlink mnodes in the mnolth folder.

$ git clone https://git.sr.ht/~pbatch/mnolth
$ git clone https://git.sr.ht/~pbatch/mnodes
$ cd mnolth
$ ln -s ../mnodes mnodes

If samurai/lua is not installed on your system. Run the bootstrap script to make a local version of samu/lua, which will generate binaries in the "tools fold"

$ sh bootstrap.sh

Generate the ninja building script, enabling x264 support and mnodes.

$ lua generate_ninja.lua mnodes x264

Next, generate intermediate files and build:

$ samu tangle && samu

When build, mnolth can be installed with:

$ sudo sh install.sh

Inside this SoundMantra repo, all files can be generated using the render script:

$ sh render.sh

An individual mantra can be rendered in the following way:

$ mnolth lua mantras/day01.lua
