Would check install create a .deb install file that could be used to re-install via gdebi?

Yes.

[Chipfryer]

Cool stuff thank you.
Another Q. If I downloaded the necessary dependencies as files and kept them in that folder would they be installed along with the application or would check install do this for me please?

Thanks auto, your a great help.

Those dependencies were debs also or did you compile them yourself? Not sure if checkinstall also automatically adds dependencies, don't think so, I think you have to add the required dependencies yourself. Oh, and it's best to do a checkinstall --install=no make install, this will prevent checkinstall from actually installing anything but it does create the deb so you can install that afterwards.

[Chipfryer]

Again thanks so much Auto. I think I am at last on the way with all of this.
Ok I have a list (I hope) of all that I needed to install. Would that be in the log for reference please and if so where?

No I didn't need to compile anything, just understand that for building I needed the lib extension as well as the .dev file. Synaptic failed in searches sometimes because I didn't understand that files can be renamed in the repo. I had the same trouble with winff in its non gui form too but again I'm getting there now.

Pretty certain I'll have tons of questions to bore you all with as time progresses.
Many thanks again Auto and everyone here too.
Best.

checkinstall
Delivers..........
The program 'checkinstall' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install checkinstall
bash: checkinstall: command not found

Should this be check-install?
Please

[autostatic]

First install checkinstall of course.

And that's done by following the suggestion, so sudo apt-get install checkinstall

[Chipfryer]

Sorry Auto. I just saw it wasn't installed, apologies.
I did install bristol softsynths via the package that was created.

I tried to create my own but got this message.

Cleaning up...OK

Bye

Would this be because it is already installed? Though I cannot see it frankly except in Synaptic. (No gui).
Sorry pal

[autostatic]

Are the Bristol softsynths included with Rosegarden? Or are you trying something else?

[Chipfryer]

Sorry for the confusion.
Yes something else because I wanted to test it out since Rosegarden was there already.
I forgot sudo before checkinstall

I'll uninstall it and go from scratch once more.
Sorry Auto.

[autostatic]

Yeah, stuff like this is a lot of trial and error. But if you do it more regularly you'll get the hang of it

[Chipfryer]

Thanks Auto.
I'll have a crack at this again next week. I'm really glad I got Rosegarden 10.2 up and running finally however.

It seems that most use Ardour but I'm having loads of trouble getting the hang of that to be honest. Thanks again man.
