i’m trying to compile bleeding edge svn build on my laptop to play around with, however i have a dependancy problem. scons is reporting i need jack 0.105.0, whereas on feisty i only have 0.102.0
‘fine’ i thought, i’ll uninstall that (along with some other things i’d rather not uninstall, but you know, sacrifice and all that and download the latest build off the jack site.
unfortunately the jack site is saying that the latest version is 0.103.0, so do i need to compile jack svn as well as ardour svn? i noticed on the issue tracker site someone responded to a message saying they had 0.105.0 on ubuntustudio, so is there a package available that i haven’t stumbled across? i’d love to be able to use a package that will convince ubuntu that i have the jack package installed again, so i can reinstall my beloved scummvm (anyone know why it depends on jack? it doesn’t seem to need it, and i don’t need jack support in monkey island… although…
You can only get the required version of JACK from JACK svn. Build it using --prefix=/usr and it will install right over the top of any existing package, without messing anything up.
do i need to recompile everything that depends on it if they need to use jack? eg. qjackctl is dying with a ‘protocol mismatch’ error. i don’t mind recompiling this if needed (although maybe this is a good place for a feature request of ardour starting it’s own jack instance if it doesn’t detect one)
porl
edit: it appears i am too late in my feature request, it is already implemented
isn’t really a problem after all though, i’m only using it to play with svn ardour separate from my main machine, and ardour starts jackd itself now, so i don’t need qjackctl to start it (i could have done it on the command line anyway). scummvm is the only other thing i have on there depending on jack (???) but it doesn’t seem to actually use it (when i’m playing anyway) so it isn’t a problem.
and download the latest build off the jack site.
