Yes, you need JACK's development (header) files to be installed. Which is usally available as package named "libjack-dev" on most distributions.

And like I said, when you run linuxsampler's configure script, check the summary output of linuxsampler's configure script whether it found JACK and compiles the sampler with JACK support.

I don't get your question. What is the problem you have with Qt?

I try to explain it in other words.

To compile qsampler, I will be asked to install a Qt5 package. It seems, there are some different Qt5 packages like qt5-qmake or qt5-default, etc. I don't know which Qt5 package I really need.

Thanks and regards

So you don't want to install all of the Qt5 packages, just the ones that are really required to compile QSampler.

The precise names of the (minimum required) Qt packages to install, depends on your distribution and version of your distribution. Like I suggested before, since you are on a .deb based system, building QSampler the Debian way with

Code: Select all

dpkg-buildpackage -b
avoids such issues, since it will automatically tell you if, and if yes, which precise packages are missing and which you have to install for compilation. However you can also just look at the respective debian/control file to see the build dependencies, because that's what dpkg-buildpackage reads to find the missing dependencies.

As this debian/control file of Qasmpler suggests, you should at least have qtbase5-dev, qtbase5-dev-tools, qttools5-dev and qttools5-dev-tools installed. It also mentions qtchooser, however I am not sure if that is really required. You probably just need that if you have also other versions of Qt installed at the same time (e.g. Qt4 for some older application).

Hey cuse!

qsampler and Linuxsampler seems to work fine now also with JACK. I just have an problem now to compile gigedit. I always get an Error while compiling:

Code: Select all

[...]
CXX      libgigedit_la-compat.lo
  CXX      libgigedit_la-gigedit.lo
In file included from mainwindow.h:60:0,
                 from gigedit.cpp:49:
dimregionedit.h:46:11: fatal error: linuxsampler/engines/LFO.h: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
 # include <linuxsampler/engines/LFO.h>
           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[...]
Also I didn't find the LFO.h file on my system.

Hope you can help me out again. :)

Thank you!
Torte

These compile errors are due to a new LFO preview feature in Gigedit, and the error is because you are compiling latest development version of Gigedit (from svn) against the last official tarball release of LinuxSampler.

Either use both Gigedit and LinuxSampler both from svn, or use both from official tarball release.

A bit later I will address this issue such that you can also compile latest Gigedit from svn against older versions of LS.

Okay, I understand! Now I compiled the gigedit tarball release and it works! Great! :D

Now I know how to compile and install LS and its equipment.

When I have any further questions about LS, I will open a new topic.

Thank You very much, cuse! :)

This topic can be closed.
