David: I performed the steps for retrieving and building the release-candidate fluidsynth. Though it complained that DOXYGEN (or something like that) was not found, it seemed to build and install without any error.
I can supply printouts of the entire process, if that would be helpful. My testing also went well, since I did not discover any problems. The problem I have in doing this testing, is that I have no way of knowing if it used the libfluidsynth1 generated during the process, or what I was using before (the repackaged version of your PPA for Ubuntu 11.10). According to Synaptic Package Manager, the installed version is from your PPA (residing in /usr/lib). Yet I do see the newly generated version (with today's date/time) in /usr/local/lib). I would remove the other version, but if I do so, it will take out a fair number of other packages along with it that I really don't want to have to re-install. Is there some way I can definitively know which library Qsynth uses when I run the test? Without that, I don't know if I tested the former version, or the new version. - Aere On Sun, 2012-07-29 at 06:59 +0200, David Henningsson wrote: > On 07/24/2012 07:10 PM, Aere Greenway wrote: > > David: > > > > Where can I find instructions on how to generate the test system (on > > Ubuntu Linux), without taking away qjackctl (which I will need for testing)? > > There is a wiki page > https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/fluidsynth/wiki/BuildingWithCMake > but in short, here's how to do it on Ubuntu: > > 1) unpack the tarball and cd into that directory (fluidsynth-1.1.6) > > 2) install dependencies: > sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake > sudo apt-get build-dep fluidsynth > > 3) build: > mkdir build > cd build > cmake .. > make > > 4) Run > sudo make install > ...to install the new version.
