Ingen in Ubuntu Studio/KXStudio

[zettberlin]

Hello,

I fail to install or build Ingen in KXStudio.

The package ingen-svn is dysfunctional since ingen itself is simply not installed with the package. Building drobillard-lad svn does not work because it does not find the atom-extension in lv2core:

Code: Select all

Checking for 'lv2core'                           : yes
Checking for 'lv2-lv2plug.in-ns-ext-atom'        : not found


Anyone else out there with more luck?

Just a thought: have you checked to see if you can build lv2 from source? Sorry I can't be of much help.

I did, yet to no avail...

Looks like nobody uses Ingen in Ubuntu.

So what do you use as a modular LV2-host instead?

I just tried to install ingen on Ubuntu 12.04 amd64. It fails with the "lv2" package missing. Indeed, there is no lv2 package for ubuntu 12.04. Of course I have lv2core and pretty much everything related but that doesn't seem to help. Did anybody install ingen on Ubuntu recently?

Update: I succeeded. I edited wscript, substituting the dependency on lv2 to lv2core. This made waf configure pass.

Then, waf was failing on the absence of lv2/lv2plug.in/ns/ext/atom/forge.h.
This file was nowhere to be found on my system, so I checked out lv2 from SVN and linked its lv2 subdirectory to the drobillad build directory, so that lv2/lv2plug.in/ns/ext/atom/forge.h was present when I ran waf.

After this, the build completed without errors. Now to see how to connect my alsa midi port of my keyboard with the jack midi port of ingen, to be able to play, but there is a thread about that already... :-)

The lv2 package is in the KXStudio Main repository. With that package installed you should be able to compile Ingen without any issues.
