New subject: Anyone got OpenMusic 5.2.1 to work? Or at least MidiShare?

2 Feb 2009

Hi All,

In order to compile MidiShare you must use the 'dev' branch of the CVS
(the main branch doesn't compile and have to be updated). To download
the 'dev' branch you can use the following CVS command (on a single line) :

cvs -z3
-d:pserver:anonymous@midishare.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/midishare co
-P -r dev midishare

Make sure you have the headers of your kernel installed. Then :

cd src/linux
./configure
make
sudo make install

Cheers

Yann

  Dear Dave,
 Dear Holger,

 Yes unfortunately, Om 5.x was somehow freezed. Some of us are trying the
 best to follow Om's developpement in parrallel. These are the ad news.
 Now for the rather good news,

 Om 6.x is born under LispWorks. But, we have some young geeks interested
 to port the new om on SBCL. For the time being it is in the embrionic
 stage. THe kernel did build. No wonder , it is no different from the 5.x
 version. However, the big challenge is the api, since it did change for
 the better. Now the official developpement is heading always
 (unfortunately) on Lispworks, for Mac, and now , (oooups) for windows
 plateform. The good thing is that if it does succeed (and it is on the way
 to ) it will most probably tun on linux under Lispworks. But since,
 lispwoks is not gpl, we linux guys are interested in the sbcl version that
 is far more (as a compiler) faster, and better.

 Well these are the news. Will most probably get you to know in a month or
 two of further hopefully advancement . And if the gods are with us, (and
 the penguins;-)) we hope to have a version running in 2009.
 BEst to u all.
 Karim

  I'm currently trying to get OpenMusic working
on ArchLinux, without the
 tiniest success. I´d really like to know if anyone has this running
 currently...

         Alas, OM's Linux development is pretty slow, if not actually dead at
 this time. Karim Haddad is the man to contact, I've cc'd this message to
 him.

  Did anyone get MidiShare to build and work on a
2.6.1x kernel?

         Yes, IIRC there are some packages prepared by Dr Albert Graef that will
 build against some 2.6 kernels. Also cc'd.

  Did anyone get so far to use OpenMusic on linux
in recent times?

         No, but the last time it worked for me I noted that Karim had done some
 good work on usability. Alas, IRCAM is rather devoted to commercial
 software. I understand that OM development is now primarily on the Mac
 and uses a proprietary toolkit (LispWorks, I think).

  MidiShare btw bails out with this:

         I suggest that you try to reach Dr Graf, Karim Haddad, and maybe Yann
 Orlarey at GRAME (also cc'd).

 Good luck, and do let us know how you get along with this project.

 Btw, AlgoScore is definitely worth your attention, but it isn't much
 like Open Music. Also, I wrote to the author of pwgl and inquired about
 a Linux port. He never replied.

 Best,

 dp
