JSampler - "No Instruments Database Support"

[jackbunny]

I've amazingly got LinuxSampler running and JSampler running as well (amazing because I'm such a newb). However, when I go click on "Show Instruments Database" I get the message "LinuxSampler was not build with instruments database support"

I've searched but I can't find anything about building LinuxSampler with or without this option. Can someone please give me some help? Thanks!

You need to have SQLite 3.3 or earlier installed before building LS to get instrument db support.

Thanks for the help. I installed SQLite and rebuilt both libgig and linuxsampler with no luck. So then I found the sources for 2.8.17, built and installed, then rebuilt libgig and linuxsampler. Still no luck :\ Do I need gigedit? When I tried to build gigedit I got this message:

Code: Select all

dh_shlibdeps: Compatibility levels before 4 are deprecated.

I don't feel the need to edit the individual instruments, but I thought it might be a requirement to have instruments database support. ANy more help is greatly appreciated. Thank you

No. Gigedit isn't needed for instrument db support.

You should install the development package for sqlite. Usually the name of the package ends with -dev or -devel. For example, on debian it's libsqlite3-dev.
