Hi all,
The build of qjackctl included with jackdmp for windows is getting really
old.
The biggest problem is that the default "startup time" is set too low,
making it
seem like "jack crashes". (I"ve got many complains that "jack crashes").
Another problem is that you manually have to append "-S" to the "Server
Prefix".
So here:
https://github.com/kmatheussen/qjackctl
...I've cloned the official qjackctl repository, fixed these two problems,
and added some files to make it straight forward to build qjackctl under
mingw32.
(Building is just running the "build_mingw32.sh" script)
Windows binary: http://folk.uio.no/~ksvalast/qjackctl.zip
Perhaps this build, or something similar, can be included in the next
release of jack for windows?
Hey,
I was wondering, seeing as the latest distributed compiled package (on http://jackaudio.org/downloads/) for osx is version 0.90, and it is stated as beeing for Snow Leopard ; was wondering if i should try to compile it myself from the 1.9.10 tarball (or even the git repos ?) ; because i'm not very knowledgeable in coding so i'm afraid i have no idea how to compile it. Opening the xcode project in the git repo, then trying to compile it ; leads very fast to a critical " 'aften/aften.h' file not found" error ; and i don't see a "aften" file in the distribution.
In short, i do'nt know how stable is the 1.9.10 or Github version, but i'm not sure it is very wise either to use the maybe outdated 0.9 ? but for now, i don't know how i could do else...
Thanks in advance,
Victor
I was reviewing the code for `jack_ringbuffer` and I saw it uses
`volatile` for the pointers. This confused me, since my teachers have
long insisted that `volatile` isn't for use on multithreaded code.
Take i.e. `jack_ringbuffer_write`: the hardware could reorder the writes
so that the pointer is updated before the buffer has been written.
Wouldn't a memory fence be required?
I appreciate your responses, I'm quite a noob when it comes to lock-free
programming...
Thank you,
Xavi
