I am trying to build guitarix from source code.
The install manual wants me to fulfill the dependencies
http://guitarix.org/#install
I can find the following packages in debian package list
https://packages.debian.org/en/buster/a ... mat=txt.gz
- ladspa-sdk
- zita-resampler
- jackd
- libjack: 7 different packages available. which is the one I need?
libjack-0.116, libjack-0.125, libjack-dev, libjack-dev, libjack-dev-session, libjack-jackd2-0, libjack-jackd2-dev
- jack (jackd, libjack, and dev) >= 0.109.1: what does dev mean? There is no package called dev
these packages are not available
- gtk+-2.0
- gtkmm-2.0
- gthread-2.0
- sigc++-2.0
- zita-convolver
- sndfile (but sndfile-programs and sndfile-tools is available)
- boost library: the package list contains 164 entries with boost. which is the correct one?
- libwebkit-dev

Those are the build dependents:
Code: Select all
intltool,
ladspa-sdk,
libavahi-gobject-dev,
libbluetooth-dev ,
libboost-dev ,
libboost-system-dev ,
libboost-thread-dev ,
libboost-iostreams-dev,
libcurl4-gnutls-dev,
libeigen3-dev,
libgtk2.0-dev,
libgtkmm-2.4-dev,
libjack-dev,
liblilv-dev,
liblrdf0-dev,
libsndfile1-dev,
libzita-convolver-dev,
libzita-resampler-dev,
lv2-dev,
python,
were in the master branch currently python2 is needed.
dev -> means the development packages, which includes the header files of the specific packages.
the libjack-dev package, depends on which jack you use, could be libjack-dev (jackd1) or libjack-jackd2-dev (jackd2)
libwebkit isn't needed any-more.

Some more were needed:
Code: Select all
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: using a gain-root-command while being root
dpkg-buildpackage: info: source package guitarix2
dpkg-buildpackage: info: source version 0.38.0
dpkg-buildpackage: info: source distribution unstable
dpkg-buildpackage: info: source changed by brummer <brummer-@web.de>
dpkg-buildpackage: info: host architecture amd64
dpkg-source --before-build .
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: error: Unmet build dependencies: libavcodec-dev libavutil-dev gperf
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: (Use -d flag to override.)
=>
Code: Select all
apt-get install libavcodec-dev libavutil-dev gperf
I couldn't find all these dependents in the manual. Where did you find it?
After that I downloaded the latest version:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/guitarix/files/
and ran
then
Code: Select all
dpkg -i guitarix2_0.38.0_amd64.deb
Is this .deb package adapted to my system or can it be used form any other computer with debian 10?
The installation of all the dependencies and the package-building takes a lot of time. Wouldn't it be easier to provide a ready built package download?
Seemed to work, but an error occurs when starting guitarix:
[15:32:33] system init *** mlockall failed:
[15:32:34] PitchTracker *** error creating realtime thread - tuner not started
The logging window shows:

Well, I'm the founder and current maintainer of the guitarix project.
Please forgive me that I forget some stuff, as I do it now for nearly 12 Years.
Beside that I've a couple of other projects I founded and maintain, so sometimes I may mix-up some stuff in my head.
However, download the latest release wouldn't help you much here, what I talk about is that you need to check out our git repository in order to get what you after. You need to get rid of your current guitarix install by un-install it with your package manager (synaptic?)
The command to check out the git repository is:
Code: Select all
git clone https://git.code.sf.net/p/guitarix/git guitarix-git
after checkout is finish, enter the directory "trunk"
then run
Code: Select all
python3 ./waf configure --prefix=/usr --includeresampler --includeconvolver --optimization
then run:
then:
you could get rid of this installation by run:

This looks like you didn't run jackd with realtime privileges enabled.
To run guitarix jackd needs at least a priority of 20, better 70 - 90.
All below 15 isn't enough.
I wonder if you didn't get those messages before with the version comes with your distribution.

Thanks a lot for that great work!
Forgive me all the questions I have

You are right. Now the message disappeared.

I'm trying this first on a virtual machine before I do it on my host. So there was no before

I'm confused, Why does that not help and whats the difference to your git repository?

Our git repository contain the latest development, were the last release is just a snapshot of it from some time ago. I really didn't remember if the latest release contain already the options -D and -E.
If so, then all good and you are ready to go to make some music. If not, you may check out our git repository, as, all you need to build guitarix from source is now on your computer anyway.

Yes it does.
Will guitarix be updated automatically by apt-get update and apt-get upgrade If I use the repository?

No. If you use our git repository, you've to do a
from the directory which contain the source code and repeat the steps mentioned above in order to get the latest updates.
When you use debian stable, this is the only way to get a recent guitarix version.

Hi,
tramp, what is the difference between compiling with bundled faust generated code and using system-wide installed faust?
Re: Building guitarix from source code

When using faust to build guitarix, all faust generated files will be re-generated. It barely makes a difference.
It's more a developers then a users option. We need to rebuild those files when we update to a newer faust release, for example, or when we modify our build scripts.

I see, thanks.
