We present a recent port of the OpenMusic computer-aided composition
environment to Linux.
The text gives a brief presentation of OpenMusic and typical
use-cases of the environment. We also present a short history of
its development, and mention previous attempts at porting it to
Linux.
The main technical challenges involved with developing the current
Linux port are discussed, as well as solutions to these. We end the
paper by outlining some possible areas for future work.
