./waf install should install Essentia's headers system-wide about essentia HOT 3 CLOSED

Hey.

How can I use essentia without the headers being installed?
I've tried using the source headers but it just seems to create an endless maze of problems.

This is only about the C++ headers, if you need python the module is already correctly installed. If you want to compile a C++ extractor, it is currently recommended to modify or create an extractor in the src/examples folder, and check that the https://github.com/MTG/essentia/blob/master/src/examples/wscript contains it.

Instructions for various options are here: http://essentia.upf.edu/documentation/installing.html

Hope this helps

./waf install now properly installs essentia's C++ headers in $(PREFIX)/include, usually /usr/local/include

The include directives in the examples have been updated to reflect that also.
