I tried compiling this (as I do with all Ardour releases) but apparently now a more recent version of Jack (.103 is the most recent version in the stable repos) is needed: http://ardour.org/node/1923#new. Anybody know a way to cleanly update jack? After enabling other repos, synaptic tells me that it has to remove a bunch of stuff in order to upgrade jack to .109. Would i have to compile this too from source?

thanks

Yes, that is the one dependency that needs fixing before we can have ardour 2.5 in 64 Studio. Problem is that recent jackd builds are not as stable as the 0.103 version we are using. It is being tested. Only way to get .109 from repositories in 64 Studio is to upgrade to Debian Lenny, which is a bit of a process at the moment, and a smooth transition is not guaranteed.

Free would have to backport 0.109 for 64 Studio first before we can get the latest ardour...

Hmm,

I've been running 109 for a couple of months no problem. Damned if I can remember where I downloaded the .deb file from though.

The upgrade to lenny gives you jack.109 and Ardour 2.5 builds fine. The lenny upgrade is tricky, in fact it changes from day to day. If you try to do a one step upgrade you "will" break 64studio. I use a "test disk", Not my regular 64studio.

Cheers, dave.

I'm running Jack .109 too, but not intentionally. I'm nearly certain I downloaded them (jackd and the libs) from the 64studio repos just before the 2.1 release, maybe when it was rc or maybe from the backports. Now I have them in "local or obsolete" status. It does work fine though... Looking forward to ardour 2.5! Cheers Pablo

If you have it installed from the 64studio repositories, you might have it in your /var/apt/cache/archives folder.

Please check, and let us know... We could make it available for etch(ish) 2.1 64 Studio followers to have ardour 2.5 while lenny is still in flux.

Can I also say that Ardour is probably the most significant application in 64Studio, and it looks like 2.5 is turning out to be a lot more robust than the 2.4 series. I'd say that it's crucial for 64Studio's reputation that it can track significant Ardour releases. (I know it's done a really good job of doing just that so far - so I'm not complaining!)

For the adventurous

If you are not so lucky as to have a copy of libjack-dev_0.109 on your system to be able to compile ardour, do the following.

Make sure the following repositories are active:

• deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free
• deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main
• deb http://apt.64studio.com/64studio/testing/ 64studio main
• deb http://apt.64studio.com/backports/ etch-backports main
• deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free

open a terminal and enter the following commands:

> mkdir jackd_109
> cd jack_109
> sudo apt-get build-dep jackd
> sudo apt-get -b source jackd

In the folder you created you will now find the new .deb files you created. Install them:

> sudo dpkg -i *.deb

ALTERNATIVELY:

if you have amd64 you could add this repository:

• deb http://apt.harleystudio.co.za/ etch main

and upgrade jackd (and libjack-dev) via Synaptic

Happy compiling!

For the adventurous

Using 64studio_2.0_i386 upgraded to 2.1. jackd_109 install worked fine with pre-installed ardour. (ardour was then removed)

Ardour 2.5 is built. (using scons, many dependencies)

apt-get build-dep ardour

Would not work I had to install dependencies as needed. Many removed and reinstalled packages, At one stage I had to use aptitude to resolve libgtk2.0-dev dependencies and this removed even more packages. This is 2.0 upgraded to 2.1 so it is due for reinstall.

All done... ReStart computer. Everything seems ok... Need to spend some time to confirm. You have to be prepared to keep notes and reinstall some packages. Things might be different with a fresh 2.1 install.

jackd_109 and Ardour 2.5 are working ok.

Not for the faint hearted.

Cheers! dave

all for these instructions...

I am quite sure about the dependencies, including jack (obviously)

Don't know what is going on though... so installing (and using) ardour 2.5 is working fine on your system?

Hi Quentin,

Ardour 2.5 is fine. I am looking for a Build log file to try to find out any info about jack_get_time on my system. It looks like you have to request scons to create a .txt file as it builds. I will keep looking.

Cheers! dave

Hi Quentin,

It looks like you are so close. Ardour has built ok? and seems to be picking up some trace of the old system. How did the build itself go? Did the removal of jackd_103 take many packages with it? I had to reinstall many packages when I removed jackd_103 & dev.

libgtk2.0-dev: was also very tricky here. Its install removed many packages. Did you hit the same issue?

Cheers! dave

Reinstalled 64 Studio 2.1 and going though the motions again. If successful I'll post my steps here...

Hi Quentin,

Installed 64 studio 2.1 i386. It's building ardour 2.5 as I type. No problems with libgtk2.0-dev on a fresh install 2.1.

Good luck.

dave

Ardour 2.5 on 64 Studio 2.1

If you follow this instruction you will not need to go though the painful process of removing and re-adding half of your 64studio installation.

Make sure the following repositories are active:

• deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free
• deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main
• deb http://apt.64studio.com/64studio/testing/ 64studio main
• deb-src http://apt.64studio.com/64studio/testing/ 64studio main
• deb http://apt.64studio.com/backports/ etch-backports main
• deb http://apt.harleystudio.co.za/ etch main

In a terminal, do the following:

tux@64studio:~$ sudo apt-get update

If you have 64bit version of 64 studio, do the following:

tux@64studio:~$ sudo apt-get install jackd libjack-dev libjack0 libjack0.100.0-0 libjack0.100.0-dev

32bit 64 Studio will have to follow the instruction above to get jackd_0.109

All versions:

tux@64studio:~$ sudo apt-get build-dep ardour
tux@64studio:~$ sudo apt-get install libaubio-dev

Download and extract Ardour 2.5 from the ardour website
http://www.ardour.org/source_downloads

tux@64studio:~$ cd ~/Desktop/ardour-2.5/
tux@64studio:~/Desktop/ardour-2.5$ scons
tux@64studio:~/Desktop/ardour-2.5$ scons install

Ardour 2.5 is now installed concurrently with Ardour 2.4.1 test from terminal:

tux@64studio:~$ ardour2

If it works well you could either use alacarte (from debian) to edit the gnome menu, or create a desktop shortcut that has the following in the "Command" field

ardour2

Tested on a fresh install of 64 Studio 2.1 64bit version: 17 July 2008

Quentin, pleased for you :-)

Slightly different method here. Completed on i386.

Fresh install 2.1 build is smooth compared to 2.0 upgrade 2.1 build.

Cheers! dave

Looks like it might time for me to get a DVD-ROM.

If you get this error when compiling: libs/surfaces/tranzport/screen.cc:87: error: ‘memcpy’ was not declared in this scope try adding #include <cstring> on top of libs/surfaces/tranzport/screen.cc (from http://ardour.org/node/1944)

Hi Quentin,

I've installed and activated all the repositories in your list but when I try to upgrade jack to 0.109 I get this error:

libjack0.100.0-0: Depends: libjack0 (>=0.109.2-3) but 0.103.0-6~etch1 is to be installed

I assume that libjack0 0.109.x.x. is in one of your listed repositories. If you can tell me which one I'll try moving it further up my list.

Reason why I ask is that have to build 0.109 yourself using a quick trick listed in this thread to install it, http://www.64studio.com/node/647#comment-2634 as I don't have a 32bit system to build it on.

If you have 64bit, the libjack I built is in the harleystudio repository.

Cheers, Quentin

You have to install the .dev file as well

No luck, Quentin. I followed those instructions and got to the stage of installing the ".deb" packages. Then I got this output:-

This seems to be the same error that I had before. I need to get libjack0 up to the latest version but the package manager doesn't seem to know where to obtain it.

You could force things...

in stead of

> sudo dpkg -i *.deb

do

> sudo dpkg -i --force-all *.deb

Thanks Quentin. That seemed to do the trick. A couple of questions though....

Firstly, is it possible that adding --force-all might have uninstalled other things? I noticed messages saying that Rosegarden got uninstalled, along with many other things. Then when I came to build Ardour I got an error saying that aubio2 (whatever that is) couldn't be found. Sure enough, Synaptic confirmed that it was no longer present.

Second question (unrelated) - every time I use either Synaptic or apt-get I see an error along the following lines:-

dpkg: error processing bcm43xx-fwcutter (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: bcm43xx-fwcutter E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) E: Failed to process build dependencies

It never seems to cause any problems but I'm sick of seeing it. Do you know what it means and/or how to get rid of it?

Hi, $ sudo apt-get remove --purge bcm43xx-fwcutter

If this doesn't work open synaptic, in the edit menu select fix broken packages. Also try removing the broken package by moving between synaptic & apt-get. You can then re-install the package if you need it.

Sometimes when apt/dpkg gets disturbed it stops before it is finished.

$ sudo apt-get -f install

Can work wonders to "fix" an upgrade but pay attention to what is going to be removed etc., Keep notes.

For your build

$ sudo apt-get install libaubio-dev

Edit: Checkout the list in the main-menu-corrupted thread for the software that might have been removed.

Cheers, dave.

Ardour has a lot of dependencies that have to be met before scons agrees to compile the software. Keep Synaptic running while searching the missing libraries and especially their development versions, aka. libdev-xxx. Scons will tell you what is missing; search with Synaptic and you're (nearly) there.

(My Debian is a testing version, incidentally, because Lenny is not yet "out".)

One particular dependency was gthread, that has no match in Debian's Synaptic. However, installing the package g++ sorted that out.

Compiling and installing Ardour from source has one advantage; it won't break your existing Debian installation. On my old 1.2 GHz machine it took nearly three hours to compile Ardour, CPU usage was at 100% nearly the whole time..

If you do the following

tux@64studio:~$ sudo apt-get build-dep ardour

tux@64studio:~$ sudo apt-get install libaubio-dev

while 64studio testing sources repository is enabled, all the required dependencies will be loaded automatically.

No searching anymore...

I followed the instructions and it worked. Thx... ardour 2.4 was giving me headaches...

... i published some time ago a working tutorial for building ardour packages in a way that permit two parallel installation (one plain, one vst enabled). This is because we found inacceptable to let ppl compile things, those things breaks distro in our opinion.

Note that although pages are debian lenny/ubuntu intrepid specific, instructions should flawlessly work on any debian derivative distro (in fact, you will build your stuff).

So, the page is located here: https://www.scimmia.net/code/wiki/DebianPackages/ArdourVst. Hope you will enjoy it.

ciao,

ale

I have tried repeatedly to update my ardour but no luck...I error out everytime. This time is different. I updated my system to the 3.0Pre~1 and got jack 109 installed. I couldn't get ardour 2.5 via synaptics or compile due to the etch entry below that i since removed.

I noticed that Pablo had mentioned his "local or obsolete" section in synaptics. SO I clicked on the installed (upgradeable) section and ardour 2.5 was listed. I marked install all updates and THISTIME it didn't want to remove 64studio. (the eyebrow raised). So I let it go...

here is my current sources.list: deb http://apt.64studio.com/64studio/stable/ 64studio main

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free

deb http://apt.harleystudio.co.za/ etch main

(deb http://apt.64studio.com/backports/ etch-backports main) was removed.

I hope that this is a answer for those who have the same problem i have...

Note: I haven't rebooted yet. :|

keep you posted MiCK

IT WORKED!!! IT WORKED!!! I have ardour2.5 installed via synaptics! Gnome 2.22, Gimp 2.4, hydrogen .9.3, Jack 109! and more... Just thought i'd update everyone..

MiCK

Thanks for the report Mick - I updated the post.

Cheers, Q

Maybe I'm beating a dead horse here, but Jack worked fine (ardour/hydrogen etc) till i updated other sound/visual/multimedia related stuff. another post I posted dealt with slimserver and roku devices issues. I also updated my codecs, mplayer etc...Then jack died! refused to talk to ardour, hydrogen etc.. (may he rest in peace)

So I reloaded...(again). since then I have solved the slimserver problem with a more lenny friendlier package and now have 64Studio 3~pre1...JUST the studio...nothing else...

Now with the above 6 repositories enabled in synaptics, it gives the "ok" to do a upgrade of everything to a "pre-lenny" system again...the list includes Jack 109 and ardour 2.5. ...would u? should i?

I really am interested in "test driving" the new ardour. (maybe this should be it's own post eh?)

later MiCK.ca

No, don't go back. Just use the lenny equivalents of all the repositories. (all except the harleystudio one...)

• deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
• deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main
• deb http://apt.64studio.com/64studio/testing/ 64studio main
• deb-src http://apt.64studio.com/64studio/testing/ 64studio main
• deb http://apt.64studio.com/backports/ lenny-backports main
• deb http://apt.harleystudio.co.za/ etch main

Hope it helps...
Q

Hi Mick.ca :)

don’t go back. I have a a lot of troubles with audio for different Linux. I’ve got a broken 64 Studio Lenny install and Ardour 2.5 seems to be fine anyway. Your 64 Studio Lenny install and Ardour 2.5 certainly will be fine. But why don’t you try 2.7? It’s the actual release. If you will be on the safe side, rsync your actual install before you switch over to Lenny.

Cheers,
Ralf

This post is clearly in the wrong thread now but ...short and sweet..added lenny only sources (as suggested by Quentin)...massive system upgrade...reboot and .......NOTHING!...so i am back to 64studio 2.1..and in as little as 25 mins i was fully loaded with my etch based (from disc) system with all my add ons..(nero linux, opera, wesnoth and firefly) becoming quite good at reloading.

But thanks for your help MiCK

Let's then hope for lenny to come sooner than later then...

Cheers, Quentin
