[Stk] Installing RtAudio and STK in Windows

[Uğur Güney]

# Hi Gary,
# Thank you very much! Now I succeed to compile RtAudio under Windows
using Cygwin.
# The option to use MingW version of gcc compiler instead of cygwin
one is -mno-cygwin. So here is an example Makefile which was in
RtAudio/tests folder to create the audioprobe binary:

CC=gcc -mno-cygwin
INCLUDES=-I".." -I"../include"
SRC_DIR=".."
CFLAGS=-D__WINDOWS_DS__ $(INCLUDES) -O3 -c
LIBS=-lole32 -lwinmm -lWsock32 -ldsound -lstdc++ -lm
OBJS=audioprobe.o RtAudio.o

audioprobe: $(OBJS)
	$(CC) -o audioprobe.exe $(OBJS) $(LIBS)
audioprobe.o: audioprobe.cpp
	$(CC) $(CFLAGS) audioprobe.cpp
RtAudio.o:
	$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(SRC_DIR)/$*.cpp

clean:
	rm -f audioprobe.exe *~ *.o

# I tested audioprobe and playsaw examples and they found my sound
device correctly, sound as expected.
# I'll post this to the list so that maybe future generations find it
useful. I will try to compile some Stk examples now.
# Have a nice day!
