What's particularly interesting is that, according to some of the buzz I've
been hearing, their primary implemention platform is Linux (in an embedded
mode, I imagine). None of which is to say that it'll be Open, but this could
be a pretty kicking thing to have available.
Cheers!

i have a box i'd like to use as an outboard synth, and since the
box in question has firewire, it seems like an ideal interface instead
of requiring a separate midi/audio interface + mixer channels for it.
i looked around a bit and it seems like AMDTP/IEC61883-6 is starting
to be used and is in the linux 1394 drivers. it appears to include
multi-channel audio and midi which would be quite cool. (it also
appears not to be mlan).
anyone tried this stuff out? looks like it would make a really nice
interconnect.
thanks,
rob

Eddie Ciletti, reviewing the Soundscape-32:
"Automation and control-surface options deserve mention because Mackie
has probably done more to push development in this area than any other
company has since its aquisition of Soundscape. Randomly mating
controllers and workstations yields mixed results and often minimal
functionality. You expect the faders, mutes and transport controls to
work. But plug-ins vary greatly and present a challenge to
developers. That's why Mackie's claim that its control interfaces
seamlessly with Soundscape-32 is so encouraging.
I think it would be great if a little DIY software package was
included with every controller and workstation so that users with lots
of time on their hands can bring all of the pieces together. As with
LINUX, people should be able to contribute their work toward the
common good. Meanwhile, back in reality land, I tested Soundscpe-32
with CM Labs' Motor-Mix, focusing on faders, balance, mute and
transport controls because those were the required tasks at that
project's stage. My only request is to be able to access Console
Manager from more than just the mystery icon at the bottom-right
corner of Window's System Tray."

I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to have you all review it first, but
LJ wanted it yesterday morning and caught me by surprise (I thought
they'd want it later for hard-copy). Please post errata and corrections
to the LJ Comments section, thanks !

hi,
anyone tried rh9 with audio applications yet? or otherwise have
anything to say with regard to audio and the new glibc and threading
model?

Hi all,
This is the issue I've been dealing with for the past couple of hours. I am
using mostly vanilla Mdk 9.0.
I am trying to compile Gem from source (for Pd), and while it does compile
without any problems at runtime (pd -lib Gem) I get the following issue:
/usr/lib/pd/extra/Gem.pd_linux: /usr/lib/pd/extra/Gem.pd_linux: undefined
symbol: __ctype_toupper_loc
/usr/lib/pd/extra/Gem: can't load library
I've tracked this one to the gcc library (please correct me if I am wrong).
However, there are no errors at compile time:
g++ -o Gem.pd_linux -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L../../../GemLibs/liborb ../Manips/*.o
../Particles/*.o ../Base/*.o ../MarkEx/*.o ../Pixes/*.o ../Controls/*.o
../Nongeos/*.o ../Geos/*.o ../openGL/*.o -shared -lquicktime -lmpeg3 -lorb
-lglib -lgltt -lttf -ljpeg -ltiff -lpng -lglut -lGLU -lGL -lz -lm -Wl,-shared
-Wl,-export-dynamic -lXxf86vm -lXext -lX11
I also tried adding all over the place -lgcc like this:
g++ -o Gem.pd_linux -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L../../../GemLibs/liborb ../Manips/*.o
../Particles/*.o ../Base/*.o ../MarkEx/*.o ../Pixes/*.o ../Controls/*.o
../Nongeos/*.o ../Geos/*.o ../openGL/*.o -shared -lgcc -lquicktime -lmpeg3
-lorb -lglib -lgltt -lttf -ljpeg -ltiff -lpng -lglut -lGLU -lGL -lz -lm
-Wl,-shared -lgcc -Wl,-export-dynamic -lgcc -lXxf86vm -lXext -lX11
and the compile is successful, but I still keep getting the same error.
I tried building the static version, but then I get the following error:
g++ -o Gem.pd_linux -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L../../../GemLibs/liborb ../Manips/*.o
../Particles/*.o ../Base/*.o ../MarkEx/*.o ../Pixes/*.o ../Controls/*.o
../Nongeos/*.o ../Geos/*.o ../openGL/*.o -shared -lquicktime -lmpeg3 -lorb
-lglib -lgltt -lttf -ljpeg -ltiff -lpng -lglut -lGLU -lGL -Wl,-Bstatic -lz
-lm -Wl,-shared -Wl,-export-dynamic -lXxf86vm -lXext -lX11
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [Gem.pd_linux] Error 1
I then checked
ld -lgcc_s
And the only thing I got was:
ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; not setting start address
Now, could someone please tell me what the heck does this mean???
ldd /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so gives:
libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x4001a000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)
At this point, I am confused and do not know what to do. I tried upgrading
ldconfig, ld, and am currently recompiling gcc from a cooker source (which is
taking a lot of time). So, I would greatly appreciate any help I can get on
this issue, since the whole idea of linking is not so clear to me.
Finally, I would appreciate the explanation of -Bstatic flag which seems to
invoke -lgcc_s that is subsequently not found for whatever reason, despite
the fact the ld otherwise finds it (with the aforementioned warning though).
Any help on this issue is greatly appreciated! Sincerely,
Ico
