[Cs-dev] Building instructions

hi developers -

i have built csound 5.16.1 on ubuntu linux. this ran fine; i was just
wondering if we should add some simple instructions for people building
csound from sources. i think the "INSTALL" file is out of date and
should be replaced. i have attached a suggestion.

if you find it useful, please add it (or improve and add).

as a small correction: scons -H doesn't return the defaults (as scons
says). the defaults are clearly explained when running scons -h.

best -

INSTALLING CSOUND 5

To install prebuilt binaries for Linux on Intel, Windows, and OS X,
obtain the appropriate archive or installer
from the Files page at http://sourceforge.net/projects/csound.

To build from sources on linux, these are the steps required:
1) Get the dependencies via
sudo apt-get build-dep csound
on Debian-based systems, or a similar task on others.
2) cd to the csound source directory and execute
scons
You will probably get request to rename one of the custom-***.py (for 
instance custom-linux-jpff.py) files as custom.py. You can change the 
file if you find anything inappropriate for your system.
If you run scons -h you will get all options and defaults for building Csound.
A line with own scons options will look like
scons useOSC=1 buildPythonOpcodes=1 dynamicCsoundLibrary=1 buildTclcsound=1
3) Run
sudo python install.py

More installation instructions are available online at
