I think I must be missing an obvious step here. Following instructions
from the qtractor-manual-and-howtos.pdf section 2.2. Hadn't used
'apt-get build-dep' before, so I tried it:
$ sudo apt-get build-dep qtractor
Reading package lists... Done
E: You must put some 'deb-src' URIs in your sources.list
I usually use Synaptic to install dependencies, so I went that way, but:
john@NUC1:~/qtractor-0.9.19/src$ ./configure --help
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
and, sure enough, there is no such file.
Do I need to install 'autoconf' and run that somehow?
yes, you need to install autoconf and a buch of other -dev packages as
well... and the correct source tree is probably
john@NUC1:~/qtractor-0.9.19 (not under src) where you may find a couple
of README files that might interest you first than reading the
(outdated) user manual...
but,IMHO you'll be far better with some pre-built packages from one of
the repositories listed here:
https://launchpad.net/~rncbc
assuming the "focal" is the one for you:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rncbc/focal
sudo apt-get update
then you may either use Synaptic or the command line to install the
complete and fully-functional qtractor package:
sudo apt-get install qtractor
Done in a flash that way. Thank you. And found my u-he Repro-1 VST2.
Sorted! :)
