<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">To: Fernando (Planet CCRMA) and Jorgen
(EnergyXT2):</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Tonight I have finally have both Seq24
and EnergyXT2 working fully functional in Fedora Core 8 running
Planet CCRMA's realtime kernel.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">In the interest of documenting my work,
and what I have done, I am writing both lists tonight with the same
details, so I don't have to repeat a lot of information. So, from
memory, here's what I've done with my system in the past 24 hours or
so...</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">This may sound a bit irrelevant, but
one of the applications I had recently uninstalled from my system was
the game Vega Strike. I had the feeling that the reason that neither
Seq24 nor EnergyXT2 was unable to work (Seq24 crashing when trying to
edit a cell, and EnergyXT2 freezing when prompted to play) was
because of certain development libraries missing from my system. I
was unable to install any of the -devel libraries until after I
uninstalled Vega Strike. Now, I'm not blaming Vega Strike as being
the culprit, it just seems as though I was unable to add the packages
until I deleted Vega Strike from my system.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">After the deletion of Vega Strike, I
was finally able to add the following packages to my system:</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">gtk+-devel – 1:1.2.10-59.fc8.i386</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">gtk+extra-devel – 2.1.1-7.fc8.i386</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">gtk2-devel – 2.12.5-1.fc8.i386</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">gtkmm24-devel – 2.12.3-1.fc8.i386</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I then was able to successfully compile
Seq24 from source code, and now have a fully functional version of
Seq24 working on my system. Prior to this, the ./configure in Seq24
was complaining that my Gtkmm-2.4 was not the proper version. I knew
this was caused by not having the proper -devel files installed.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Prior to this I had also installed:</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">glibmm24 – 2.14.2-1.fc8.i386</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">glibmm24-devel – 2.14.2-1.fc8.i386</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I then compiled jack.cpp for
EnergyXT2's JACK version of libamm.so, and now I have a working
version of EnergyXT2 running in JACK. I had to install the usual GCC,
GCC-C++, GCC-Objc, GCC-Objc++, glib, glib-devel, glib2, glib2-devel,
glibc, glibc-common, glibc-devel, glibc-headers libraries to
correctly compile the (now working) libaam.so file.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Repositories Used:</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">InstallMedia – Fedora Core 8</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">fedora – Fedora i386</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">livna – Livna for Fedora Core 8 –
i386 – Base</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">planetccrma – Planet CCRMA 8 -386</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">planetcore – Planet CCRMA Core 8 –
i386</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">updates – Fedora 8 – i386 –
Updates</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">If either one of you, Fernando or
Jorgen, (or anybody on either of the lists) needs any additional
information, I will try to provide as much as I can.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Question: Is it possible for you as
developers of software to somehow include all of the extra libraries
and whatnot that I had to install in order to get all of this working
“out of the box” per se? It just seems like a lot of extra work
for something that should run otherwise... I'm not complaining here,
but it would be nice if the install program could be a little more
verbose in its requirements. Seq24, for example, installed with no
problems from Fedora's RPM Installer, but made no indications that I
was going to need a lot of -devel and other low-level support
libraries and applications. I guess this is something that Windows
Users take for granted...</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">One thing I noticed was the size
difference in Seq24 after I recompiled it... going from 330k, to
nearly 4.5Mb in size. What accounts for the difference?</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">At any rate, everything is now working,
and I'm going to finally get back to doing what I love the most:
Making some music! :-)</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Questions? Comments? Suggestions?</p><br><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Screenshot: http://www.geocities.com/nexxusix/working_studio_small.jpg<br></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Cheers,</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">NexxuSix</p></div></div><br>
