New subject: Compiling Patchage...dependencies - Raul and FlowCanvas

19 May 2008

...
 Did you make and install the new jack by hand or from a
package? 
bare hands

...
 If by hand, you will need to make sure that the
location of the new
jack headers is before your old ones in the include path, and that  the
...
 version of the new jack libraries is before the old
ones in your
ld.so.conf (also make sure to run ldconfig after installing the  libs
...
 .if the install target did not do that). I assume you
know that  getting
...
 the newer jack lib means getting new versions of many
of the  programs
...
 that use jack (otherwise you will discover many an
inexplicable  bug in
...
 the applications compiled with an out of date jack.h,
or apps that  are
...
 smart enough to check for a jack version refusing to
run and
complaining that they cannot connect to this jack version). Out of
synch versions of jack is not as bad as out of synch libc versions,
but it can be tricky nonetheless. 
You give me too much credit, sir. The contents of my 
/etc/lib.so.conf is as follows

include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf

...and the included file is x86_64-linux-gnu.conf, which contains

# Multiarch support
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

Also, this happens

robeast@64studio:/etc/ld.so.conf.d$ ldconfig
bash: ldconfig: command not found

...
 Updatedb manages the database that man uses to find man
pages. 
Haha! I thought that might be helpful from some flailing googling I 
had done. Seems like ldconfig will do what I thought updatedb did.  

I did manage to make some progress but it's such a hack that it 
can't be any good. First I found that I had both versions of jack 
installed, 0.103.0 in /usr/bin from the package manager and 0.109.0 
in /usr/local/bin from my own source install. I tried some silly 
things like moving files around, such as /usr/local/bin/jackd to 
/usr/bin/jackd, which did change the version number when running 
/usr/bin/jackd from the terminal but didn't fool the configure 
command for raul. 

I ended up going into the configure file and replacing all "jack >= 
0.107.0" to "jack >= 0.103.0" which tricked the configure into 
completing so I could continue. Not advisable, but it was the best 
idea I had at the time. After that raul installed fine, flowcanvas 
installed fine, patchage complained about the jack version as well, 
I executed the same brute force hack and now patchage hits an error 
when I run "sudo make":

Patchage.cpp: In constructor ‘Patchage::Patchage(int, char**)’:
Patchage.cpp:149: error: ‘class Gtk::AboutDialog’ has no member 
named ‘property_program_name’
make[1]: *** [Patchage.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/robeast/Desktop/patchage/src'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

I know that my changes to the configure file don't get at the root 
of my problem, but I figured I'd see how far I could go. Should I 
even bother working with these new versions of jack and patchage? 
The new patchage looks great and I'm hoping that it will have some 
performance improvements over an older version I've been using, but 
I don't want to end up with audio apps that are incompatible with 
the new version of jack. With the current versions I have 
previously installed (I just installed patchage 0.2.3 from the 
repos) everything works fine...so I don't know why I'm bothering 
with this other than for cool bezier curves and to put off making 
an actual recording.
