[Jack-Devel] Cannot combine audio devices with more than 64 channels

[Jörg Müller]

Thanks for your help!

Is there some guide to compile jackd2 from source? Here is what I did:
> sudo apt-get build-dep jackd jackd2
> cd /tmp
> apt-get source jackd jackd2
> nano /tmp/jackd2-1.9.10+20140610git97e0e80b~dfsg/common/JackConstants.h

I changed the DRIVER_PORT_NUMBER value and tried to compile it by
> cd /tmp/jackd2-1.9.10+20140610git97e0e80b~dfsg
> dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b

But I got the following error:
