Some notes on getting LinuxSampler working on UbuntuStudio. I'm running Lucid Lynx, which is the codename for This is also to refresh my memory of adding content to Joomla, as it's been a while!
Right, Ubuntu doesn't include LinuxSampler in its repositories since usage of the LinuxSampler code in commerical hardware or software products is forbidden. So that means as a user I have to compile it myself. Should be straightforward, but I've come across some issues, so how do I resolve those?
LinuxSampler is downloaded from http://www.linuxsampler.org/downloads.html where it explains that I'll need to get and compile in the following frder:
- libgig
- liblscp
- linuxsampler
- qsampler
- gigedit
When I got to compiling LinuxSampler, I came across a compile issue:
No supported MIDI input system found!
Sorry, LinuxSampler only supports the following MIDI drivers at the moment:
ALSA, MIDIShare, CoreMIDI.
Initially I though this was due to not actually yet having a MIDI interface on my Linux Development/Audio workstation. So I found my MidiMan MidiSport 2x2 and installed the midisport-firmware package. The error persisted.
Some webpages suggest installing development packages to get around this. Here's my list on unusual ones, of course there might be more...
apt-get install libasound2-dev libjack-dev libgtkmm-2.4-dev intltool qt4-dev-tools libgnuradio-audio-alsa-dev
Now, when I run LinuxSampler it can't bind - Hmm, what's that all about?
