AntiX and audio production

[briandc]

Hi everyone,
I'm testing a very lightweight version of linux, Antix, debian-based (wheezy). It's going well, although I don't know why the settings I adjust (swappiness, cpu governor, readable files, etc) don't stick over reboots.

Also, I need to compile amSynth from the tarball or git (available here now: http://code.google.com/p/amsynth/wiki/B ... FromSource )
But I got a compile error from the tarball, and the git install complained about a conf file not available.

I'd also like to try adding the repos of KXStudio, but for some reason the addresses (debian doesn't use ppa?) aren't recognized..)


Any suggestions?

Thanks!
brian

In particular, installing the git version of amSynth I got this error:

Code: Select all

./autogen.sh: 9: ./autogen.sh: autoreconf: not found

Any advice much appreciated..

I think you're missing the automake and/or autoconf packages.

I think that resolved part of the problem dp, thanks. However, I still wasn't able to finish it, got this message when I ran ./autogen.sh:

Code: Select all

./autogen.sh

I've update the wiki with clearer instructions for this; http://code.google.com/p/amsynth/wiki/B ... FromSource

The following command should get you ready to build:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libgtk2.0-dev libgtkmm-2.4-dev libjack-jackd2-dev libasound-dev liblash-compat-dev dssi-dev liblo-dev libsndfile-dev

P.S - what was the build error you got when using the tarball?

Hi nixx,
I reached the compiling but was missing a couple of apps to connect to jack. So I rechecked your list here and got it set up. Done! Here's how it looks:
