LinuxSampler is sampler backend, thus server-like console application. It |
| 25 |
|
|
provides a TCP based network interface with a custom ASCII based protocol |
| 26 |
|
|
called "LSCP" to control the sampler and manage sampler sessions. You either |
| 27 |
|
|
have to send commands manually to LinuxSampler, e.g. by connecting via |
| 28 |
|
|
'telnet' or by using 'netcat' or you might want to use a graphical user |
| 29 |
schoenebeck |
937 |
interface (frontend) like QSampler (C++/Qt based) or JSampler (Java based). |

Requirements on Linux |
| 35 |
|
|
--------------------- |
| 36 |
|
|
|
| 37 |
|
|
o A low latency enabled kernel |
| 38 |
|
|
(see http://www.linuxsampler.org/faq.html#dropouts). |
| 39 |
persson |
1652 |
o At least one supported MIDI input system (i.e. ALSA, JACK, CoreMIDI or |
| 40 |
schoenebeck |
937 |
MidiShare) and at least one support audio output system (i.e. ALSA, |
| 41 |
|
|
JACK or ARTS) have to be installed, along with their respective |
| 42 |
|
|
development (header) files. |
| 43 |
schoenebeck |
579 |
o libgig and its development (header) files for loading Gigasampler |
| 44 |
|
|
format files. |
| 45 |
schoenebeck |
654 |
o libtool |
| 46 |
schoenebeck |
579 |
o If you are compiling from CVS you need to have the autotools installed |
| 47 |
schoenebeck |
654 |
(autoconf, automake (>= 1.5)). |
| 48 |
schoenebeck |
697 |
o If you want to generate the liblinuxsampler API documentation you |
| 49 |
|
|
need to have Doxygen installed. |

Compiling on Linux |
| 53 |
|
|
------------------ |
| 54 |
|
|
|
| 55 |
|
|
a) Compiling and installing directly |
| 56 |
schoenebeck |
654 |
|
| 57 |
schoenebeck |
579 |
The general procedure by calling './configure && make' on the source's |
| 58 |
|
|
toplevel directory will compile and 'make install' as root will install |
| 59 |
|
|
LinuxSampler on your system. |
| 60 |
schoenebeck |
654 |
|
| 61 |
schoenebeck |
579 |
Note: if you are compiling from CVS you have to explicitly call |
| 62 |
|
|
'make -f Makefile.cvs' before doing the above procedure. This will |
| 63 |
|
|
generate all autotools managed build files. |
| 64 |
|
|
|
| 65 |
schoenebeck |
697 |
LinuxSampler itself is a library called liblinuxsampler. You can |
| 66 |
|
|
generate the API documenation for liblinuxsampler by explicitly calling |
| 67 |
|
|
'make docs'. |

b) Creating Debian packages |
| 71 |
|
|
|
| 72 |
|
|
Simply calling 'dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b' from the source's |
| 73 |
|
|
toplevel directory will compile and build the Debian binary package. |
| 74 |
|
|
The Debian package will be placed one directory above the source's |
| 75 |
|
|
toplevel directory (thus ../). |

c) Creating Redhat packages |
| 79 |
|
|
|
| 80 |
|
|
You need to have the rpmbuild tool installed and properly configured to |
| 81 |
|
|
create RPM packages. To create the RPM packages do the following: |
| 82 |
|
|
|
| 83 |
|
|
* Get .spec file generated by ./configure and edit it as appropriate. |
| 84 |
|
|
|
| 85 |
|
|
* Copy the source tarball to "/usr/src/<rpmdir>/SOURCES" directory, |
| 86 |
|
|
where <rpmdir> is dependent to the system you are using. For SuSE |
| 87 |
|
|
<rmpdir> will be "packages", for Mandrake <rpmdir> is "RPM" and for |
| 88 |
|
|
Redhat / Fedora <rpmdir> always equals "redhat". |
| 89 |
|
|
|
| 90 |
|
|
* Build the rpm(s) by invoking 'rpmbuild -bb <specfile>' from the |
| 91 |
|
|
command line. |
| 92 |
|
|
|
| 93 |
|
|
On success, the resulting rpm(s) can usually be found under the proper |
| 94 |
|
|
"/usr/src/<rpmdir>/RPMS/<arch>" directory. |
