OK! Success! I'm beginning to feel like I'm not totally incompetant. Build instructions all worked, but missing one important step that all you software developers probably did back in 1996, and forgot. (I haven't done this for a while... I feel nervous without my paper tape reader handy.) I got it all to compile and work, Hercules and all, but no jackd in the sound API list. It wasn't using the newly-compiled portaudio because I hadn't added the local lib path to /etc/ld/so/conf. That's the missing item. My quickie build notes, I'll round it out. Some of it is blunderously obvious (unless you've not done it before :-) My quickie notes tend to be literal and executable. # Compiling from source. # see http://mixxx.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/SVN_Repository sudo aptitude purge mixxx mixxx-data sudo apt-get build-dep mixxx sudo apt-get install subversion sudo apt-get install scons sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev sudo apt-get install libjack-dev # Compile PortAudio # see http://www.portaudio.com/trac/wiki/TutorialDir/TutorialStart cd ~/Music svn co https://www.portaudio.com/repos/portaudio/branches/v19-devel cd v19-devel ./configure make make install # This was missing in the build notes, but pretty obvious # in the portaudio make install chatter (where studiously # ignored it the first time.) # add to /etc/ld.so.conf include /usr/local/lib # then ldconfig cd ~/Music svn co https://mixxx.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mixxx/trunk/mixxx cd mixxx sudo scons djconsole_legacy=1 install # runs! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
