Hi *developers* :)
maybe you want to use my package for Rubberband for the distro, I can
copy and paste a description to the package and build it again, but I
only know how to compile for amd64. For replies keep in mind, that I
don't receive mails from the developers mailing list.
Hi *users* :)
unfortunately I couldn't build a package for today's [checkout at
Jul/04/2009 14:00:00 CEST] CVS version of Qtractor, with complete
featured functions, including VST support.
You can download the amd64 versions of Rubberband 1.3 as package from here:
https://disc.alice-dsl.net/
Username: [email protected]
Passwort: 64studio
First try to install the package by 'sudo dpkg -i PACKAGENAME' without
running 'sudo ldconfig' in addition, if you get trouble run 'sudo ldconfig'.
Maybe you will compile Rubberband and Qtractor by yourself, it's
recommended to do this at least for Qtractor from time to time, because
Qtractor still is elementary, but under heavy development. There's no
guarantee that my package and howto are fine and won't damage something,
I didn't make tests, but I launched Qtractor and I guess that didn't
damage my machine and didn't start eliminating the universe.
This is the howto for compiling Qtractor and Rubberband.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*What is the pitch with Rubberband*?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rubberband is a dependency needed by Qtractor.
Against all assumptions there seems to be an old version of rubberband
in the repositories, that also provides ladspa, that is provided by at
least one other package too, anyway, read all about rubberband sources
here, so you can chose which way you want to go, to get rubberband.
You can get an amd64 (x86_64) version for Hardy here:
http://activecom.free.fr/linux/rubberband_1.2-1_amd64.deb
Run 'sudo -i', 'cd /path/to/the/downloaded/package', 'dpkg -i
rubberband_1.2-1_amd64.deb' followed by 'ldconfig' and then push Ctrl+D.
For 64 Studio i386 (x86) you might want to try the i686 executable.
Perhaps you want to build it for amd64 or i386 yourself for any reason.
Get the executable or source code from here:
http://breakfastquay.com/rubberband/
I didn't check if the so called 'executable' (the 'executable' might
include the headers too) is all you need, to compile Qtractor or if
there is any rubberband development stuff needed in addition.
I download source code to /usr/src. To enable this for the user, you
need to run one-off 'sudo chown YOUR_USER_NAME /usr/src'. Go another way
if your system is used by trustless people too!
By using Firefox you can open downloaded archives by the Archive Manager
and then only save the extracted source code to e.g. /usr/src.
Unfortunately for the .tar.bz2 of rubberband doing it that way only
results in getting a .tar, that's why you better save the .tar.bz2,
extract it by Nautilus, GNOME's file browser. You only need to click the
archive, Nautilus uses the Archive Manager too, but it will be extracted
by one step, after that you can delete the .tar.bz2.
If you have qtractor and rubberband installed, remove them completely.
If you run synaptic to do it, a history can remind you which packages
you removed. At the time when I wrote this howto, there were the
packages librubberband0 and librubberband-dev in the repositories,
librubberband0 only included documents, while librubberband-dev
surprisingly seems to include the executable bin too. Launching Qtractor
still was fine after removing rubberband_1.2-1_amd64, but with
librubberband-dev kept. It might be that it's also possible to use this
packages from the repositories, maybe you need to run 'sudo ldconfig' in
addition. I guess the executable still was the one from the alien
package after this was removed, but librubberband-dev still was
installed. Remove librubberband0 and librubberband-dev completely too.
If you still have installed versions of Qtractor and Rubberband
installed by 'make install', don't expend effort to remove them. I e.g.
still had a version of Qtractor installed by this way and didn't remove it.
When I wrote this howto, the actual released version for rubberband was
1.3 only the i686 executable was 1.3 too, the alien amd64 package is 1.2
and the package from the amd64 repository is/was 1.0.1, so it can't be
bad to compile it, even if the executable bin from the librubberband-dev
should be fine too.
The repositories provided Qtractor version 0.4.2 at the time of writing
the howto. We don't need always the actual version of rubberband, but we
very often should get Qtractor's latest CVS version, as I've written
before, because Qtractor still is elementary, but under heavy
development. If possible don't use 0.4.2!
Chose any premade version of rubberband or ...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Compile Rubberband*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Compilers, checkinstall and other development packages are requirements
you need all the time, if you haven't installed them, do it now, in
addition you need to install the required packages for rubberband, if
they aren't already installed:
'libsndfile' for the Ubuntu based 64 Studio this means
'libsndfile1' and 'libsndfile1-dev'
'libsamplerate' for Ubuntu 'libsamplerate0' and 'libsamplerate0-dev'
'FFTW3' for Ubuntu 'libfftw3-3' and 'libfftw3-dev'
'Vamp plugin SDK' for Ubuntu 'vamp-plugin-sdk'
'LADSPA header' for Ubuntu 'ladspa-sdk'
'pthread library' for Ubuntu 'libpthread-stubs0' and 'libpthread-stubs0-dev'
As user run:
cd /usr/src/rubberband-1.3
./configure
make
Compiling is very fast with my dual core 2.1GHz, 1 GB + 896 MB RAM.
Try to run 'sudo checkinstall' instead of 'sudo make install', when
checkinstall asked me to change something, I changed the architecture
from i386 to amd64 to fit to the architecture of my machine and it
worked, before I wanted checkinstall not to add dummy documents and I
described the package simply as 'rubberband 1.3'. I guess it's possible
to run 'checkinstall' without 'sudo'. If checkinstall isn't fine for
you, run 'sudo make install' and you are ready.
If checkinstall will be fine, this will be the better way, you'll get a
packge, install it by running 'sudo dpkg -i rubberband_1.3-1_amd64.deb'.
Once you have a version of rubberband installed, in the future you only
need to upgrade Qtractor, without compiling rubberband again, now ...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Compile Qtractor*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Again, compilers, checkinstall and other development packages, e.g. CVS,
are requirements you need all the time, if you haven't installed them,
do it now, in addition you need to install the required packages for
rubberband, if they aren't already installed. The requirements are
listed here:
http://qtractor.sourceforge.net/qtractor-index.html#Requirements
For us that should mean, that we need to check if this packages are
installed: libasound2-dev (not lib32asound2-dev), libsndfile1-dev,
libvorbis-dev, libmad0-dev, ladspa-sdk, dssi-example-plugins, dssi-dev,
liblo0-dev, libsamplerate0-dev
In addition 'rubberband' must be installed and the versions of
'libjack-dev' and 'libjack0.100.0-dev', that fit to the version of JACK,
you have installed. For 64 Studio 3.0-beta3 the repository is broken for
(some versions) of JACK, so you need to get it from Quentin's private
repository:
Type : Binary
URI : http://apt.harleystudio.co.za
Distribution: hardy
Components : main
If you want VST support you need to download VST SDK from
http://www.steinberg.net/en/company/3rd_party_developer.html, once you
are registered you need to download 'VST 2.4 Audio Plug-Ins SDK'. You
can also use 2.3 if there is the need for some reason to use this
version, but you can't use both versions at the same time and you can't
use version 3. After you downloaded it, extract it by using Nautlius,
just click on the file and Archive Manager will do it for you, btw.
Archive Manage sometimes snag a little bit when choosing the folder. If
you won't have some features supported you only need to remove dev
packages, e.g. for DSSI dev and VST headers it's fine, you can compile
Qtractor without featuring them.
Copy the needed VST headers to /usr/local/include:
sudo -i
cp /usr/src/vstsdk2.4/pluginterfaces/vst2.x/aeffectx.h /usr/local/include
cp /usr/src/vstsdk2.4/pluginterfaces/vst2.x/aeffect.h /usr/local/include
Ctrl+D
Install 'cervisia-kde4' and 'cvsservice-kde4'. I'm running GNOME, but
KDE4 also is installed, maybe you need to add some additional
dependencies to run Cervisia, even for me the dependency
'cvsservice-kde4' wasn't installed automatically, when I installed
'cervesia-kde4'.
Launch Cervisia by GNOME-menu > Programming > Cervisia.
In the menu 'Settings' enable all options.
In the menu 'Repository' chose 'Checkout...'.
Repository :
:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/qtractor
Module : qtractor
Branch tag :
Working folder: /usr/src
Check out as : qtractor
[ ] Export only
[X] Recursive checkout
Finish with clicking the OK button. Now there should be the latest
Qtractor source code in /usr/src/qtractor.
You can take a look at it by 'File > Open Sandbox...', but there's no
need to do this or anything more by using Cervisia.
Instead of using Cervisia you can get the source code by running
|cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/qtractor
login
followed by
||cvs -z3
-d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/qtractor co
qtractor
but once you have set up Cervisia you don't have any work to do and
you'll simply be able to checkout latest CVS versions.
*Compiling and installing*
As user run:
cd /usr/src/qtractor
||make -f Makefile.cvs|
autoconf
./configure
Excepted of the version that might differ, the output should end with this:
Qtractor 0.4.2.1360
Build target . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .: release
JACK Audio Connection Kit support . . . . . . . .: yes
ALSA MIDI Sequencer support . . . . . . . . . . .: yes

Sample-rate conversion support (libsamplerate) . .: yes
Pitch-shifting support (librubberband) . . . . . .: yes
OSC service support (liblo) . . . . . . . . . . .: yes
IEEE 32bit float optimizations . . . . . . . . . .: yes

Install prefix . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .: /usr/local
Now type 'make', followed by 'make install' as root.
make
Compiling isn't so fast, but anyhow it only takes around 5 minutes
with my dual core 2.1GHz, 1 GB + 896 MB RAM.
sudo checkinstall
I tried an alternative version number, e.g.: 0.4.2-cvs1360. Change
the name from '0-name-' to e.g. '0-qtractor'. Change architecture
from 'i386' to 'amd64' and 'x86_64' but checkinstall always failed.
Btw. when running checkinstall as user without sudo, the maintainer
will be the actual user and not root. I know from Suse, this will
cause a warning when installing the package on another system.
Anyway, because it fails here, we need to run
sudo make install
make clean
qtractor --version
Qt: 4.4.0
Qtractor: 0.4.2.1360
I can't say if it's fine, but I could launch Qtractor and was able to
load a project, VST was listed.
Cheers,
Ralf
