Cadence + Debian Wheezy

Has anyone here got Cadence running properly on anything other than Ubuntu, in my case Debian Wheezy?
I have replaced Wheezy's JACK with JACK2 git compiled with dbus support and I have compiled Cadence from git. jackdbus, jack_control etc are in my path and seem to work but when I start Cadence the JACK status and bridges sections are greyed out and it says 'jackdbus is not available'.
Whats todo here Mr F?
Also, its not mentioned in Cadence's INSTALL.md file but won't I have to set up my .asoundrc like it is under KXStudio to get the a2j bridge working? I think I know the answer to that one!

If thats what it takes to get Cadence running under Deb then I'd better install JACK 'properly' first ie from a .deb.
Could you give me a link to your JACK deb src package too please? Can you foresee anything else I may need?

Hopefully your JACK deb src package is based upon a very recent git coz I'm running this on a Pandaboard and ARM support has only made it into J2 recently...

Code: Select all
dh_shlibdeps
dpkg-shlibdeps: error: no dependency information found for /usr/lib/libjack.so.0 (used by debian/cadence-tools/usr/bin/cadence-xycontroller)
dh_shlibdeps: dpkg-shlibdeps -Tdebian/cadence-tools.substvars debian/cadence-tools/usr/bin/cadence-jackmeter debian/cadence-tools/usr/bin/cadence-xycontroller returned exit code 2
make: *** [binary] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2
debuild: fatal error at line 1357:
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -D -us -uc failed
So I tried:
Code: Select all
sudo aptitude reinstall libjack-jackd2-0 jackd2
sudo ldconfig
Then ran 'debuild -rfakeroot' again but just get the same error.

I should also mention that in order for me to get cadence to compile on a non-x86 machine I had to remove
from BASE_FLAGS in c++/Makefile.mk

Any idea how to fix that debuild error or how I might fix my 'jackdbus not available' error?
Surely I wouldn't have to re-install everything and hope that fixes it!?

Excellent!
Indeed, installing those three extra packages has brought the Cadence JACK status and bridges sections to the main window to life and I have now proved to myself that JACK is working on Pandaboard Debian!
Could you please add those 3 packages to the build dependencies section of Cadence's INSTALL.md file please F?
However, everything is not working just yet. If I set the ALSA audio bridge to "ALSA -> Loop -> JACK" the bridge fails to start and dumps:
Code: Select all
cadence-aloop-daemon started, using alsa_in/out and 2 channels
Cannot read socket fd = 3 err = Interrupted system call
Could not read result type = 25
to the terminal that started cadence.

The ALSA -> JACK (Plugin) mode does work though, after
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install libasound2-plugins
I tested it by playing HTML5 (webm/VP8) vids on YouTube, so that does work, contrary to a comment made in the 'new features for 12.04.2' thread!

PS I realise you don't support the AJ bridge in plugin mode so lets get the loop mode working too.
You'll note I've been using sudo in my commands here. Thats because the Debian rootfs I use to install on my Pandaboard comes with sudo installed by default so I've just stuck with it.

Thanks F!
Although it seems the vanilla Wheezy kernel for x86 includes the snd-aloop module, the kernel I'm running on my Panda doesn't so I'll need to compile a new kernel before I can test the ALSA kernel loop there.
I also noticed Debian doesn't seem to package indicator-cpufreq yet. Of course, you could always package it but if that icon bug is still unfixed (is it? I need to check..) then maybe there's an alternative that is in Debian?
Just thinking about the Debian switchover n' packaging.

How does one go about getting Cadence to work on Debian?

I ran git clone on the cadence repo... But it won't make... Stops right at jack meter..saying it can't find the .cpp file to output... Not sure exactly cz I'm not at my pc... But I just can't seem to build cadence at all. Is there something that a debian machine has to do before make-ing?
