Compiled my first program and it made me happy!

[ITSMERSH]

Hi,

currently I'm quite happy.

Tonight, after a few hours of try and error, I was able to compile my first real big program. Ok, there have been a few small tools like xdotool and wmctrl.

But tonight I was able to compile the latest version of Qtractor, which is v0.9.3 with LADSPA, LV2, DSSI and VST plugins enabled!

I just had to had to announce this!

Just want to congradulate you.

And ask: When you first started working with Puppies did you even think that compiling applications you would even want to do?

[ITSMERSH]

Of course, not!

When I started with Muppy 008 in 2009/2010 I found a really nice OS.
It was pretty well setup with almost all programs I wanted to use.
It came along with two (or three?) BIG .sfs modules and I was very surprised
and impressed, as there was a lot of programs available just after doing the first reboot.

When I joined the forum I suspected this would be the everlasting pleasure in all puppies.

Instead I had to work, to work, to work, to...

[ITSMERSH]

Ha ha!

In Germany we have some sayings like:

- jetzt ist der Groschen gefallen

or even

- jetzt ist der Knoten geplatzt

It was some hard work and it took almost one hour to compile, but this is
Rosegarden 18.12 "Worcestershire" compiled in BionicPup64 (still 7.9.6).

I had also compiled QjackCtl successfully, though it freezes X just like the package from Ubuntu.

Ha. Ha.

My German, unused for 50 years, read "- jetzt ist der Groschen gefallen" as "Now have the Mighty fallen". Little misunderstandings like that are how wars are started. But a little bird told me Groschen wasn't the spelling as I remembered so I google-translated.

It will be easy for me to remember the second saying. I have cousins with the last name Platt.

Hattrick!

Hydrogen 1.0.0

Enough, Rainer, stop! Don't throw any more at us!!!
(I.e.: Congratulations on your new-found skill !)

[ITSMERSH]

Thanks musher0!

Yoshimi 1.5.9.

[rockedge]

gone crazy I see. I am also in the middle of a compile craze.

ZoneMinder , opencv, darknet all succssesful....I also have done rosegarden and some of the others as well. They work best when self compiled and all the little kinks straightened out..

Good work RSH !! keep on going and soon a custom system for studio music will come out of your Forges.

hi ITSMERSH

to fix the freezing in qjackctl you need to add --disable-xunique
eg

Code: Select all

./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-xunique

[ITSMERSH]

gone crazy I see.

Absolutely and in complete!

After I had downloaded thousands of tons of developers packages, I created a .sfs module from those packages installed during compiling sessions.

So, I have a devx_extension_abc_xxx.sfs to load. Loaded the devx and the extension, extracted the QjackCtl archive, entered the directory, opened a terminal and...

...the result

Thanks!

This worked at first go and out of the box.

QJackCtl 0.5.5!

[ITSMERSH]

Code: Select all

./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-xunique

It's equal for Qsynth!

Good to know.

Thanks again!

[666philb]

also qsampler

[ITSMERSH]

also qsampler

Aahh, yes.

Qsampler!

I don't know how often I'd downloaded this and it never worked.

Another target !!!

[ITSMERSH]

Qsampler compiled fine.

Runs immediately, but complains:

Could not start server.

Sorry.

What ever I tried by changing settings in GUI or editing Qsampler.conf manually, didn't change anything. No chance. I recall, this was also a problem in previous versions from repository.

hi ITSMERSH,

see http://www.rncbc.org/drupal/node/350
it needs https://www.linuxsampler.org/downloads. ... nuxsampler
http://download.linuxsampler.org/packag ... .0.tar.bz2

hi ITSMERSH,

Thanks.

Will give it a go, right now after doing this post.

Aqualung R-??? (probably release candidate 1.0-rc1).

This one was surprising.
It complained missing GNU gettext.
Found it, downloaded, compiled, installed.

Aqualung compiled immediately.

Ok, linuxsampler backend downloaded...

[666philb]

you may know this already .....
if you have more than 1 cpu core you can speed up the process.
example for 4 cores

Code: Select all

make -j4

2 cores

Code: Select all

make -j2

8 cores

Code: Select all

make -j8

if you have 4 cores you could use make -j3 and leave a core left for other stuff like browsing. don't set it higher than the cores you have!!

[ITSMERSH]

Thanks.

Had read this before but didn't make a note.

LinuxSampler compiled immediately.

After installing Qsampler connects and works.
