<p class="default"> Or again in words: you have to compile and |
241 |
install libgig before being able to compile and use LinuxSampler. You |
242 |
don't need libgig for compiling and using QSampler, but it's definitely |
243 |
recommended. You cannot compile nor use QSampler without liblscp |
244 |
though. As QSampler is communicating with LinuxSampler via TCP, there |
245 |
is no linker dependency between them, but of course you still need to |
246 |
have LinuxSampler installed to be able to use QSampler (either locally |
247 |
or on any other computer in your network). JSampler is also communicating |
248 |
with LinuxSampler via TCP, so there is no linker dependency between them |
249 |
either. JSampler requires jlscp though. You have to compile and install |
250 |
libgig before being able to compile and use gigedit.</p> |
