 # sfizz
+
+## Building
+
+Sfizz depends on the `sndfile` library.
+The Jack client that you will probably build depends on the `jack` library.
+To build `sfizz` you need to install both as shared libraries on the system.
+In Debian-based distributions, this translates into
+```
+sudo apt install libjack-jackd2-dev libsndfile1-dev
+```
+
+The process is as follows:
+1. Clone the repository with all the submodules
+2. Create a build directory for CMake and `cd` into it
+3. Prep the Makefiles with the `SFIZZ_CLIENTS` option
+4. Build
+5. Enjoy :)
+
+In the shell world, this means
+```sh
+git clone --recursive https://github.com/paulfd/sfizz.git
+cd sfizz
+mkdir build && cd build
+cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -D SFIZZ_CLIENTS=ON ..
+make
+```
+You can then find the Jack client in `clients/sfizz_jack`.
+Just specify an `.sfz` file as a parameter and you are good to go.
+The client will forcefully connect to the system output, and open an event input in Jack for you to connect a midi capable software or hardware (e.g. `jack-keyboard`).
+If no Jack server is already started it will start one with basic options.
+
+### Possible pitfalls and alternatives
+
+If you already cloned the repository without the `--recursive` option, update the submodules manually with
+```
+git submodule update --init --recursive
+```
+
+You can build with `clang`, although in that case the CMakeFile defaults to using `libc++` instead of `libstdc++`.
