Dependencies

- The following figure illustrates the compile time / linker dependencies. -

- Or again in words: you have to compile and install libgig before - being able to compile and use LinuxSampler. You don't need libgig - for compiling and using QSampler, but it's definitely recommended. - You cannot compile nor use QSampler without liblscp though. As - QSampler is communicating with LinuxSampler via TCP, there is no - linker dependency between them, but of course you still need to - have LinuxSampler installed to be able to use QSampler. -

Or again in words: you have to compile and +install libgig before being able to compile and use LinuxSampler. You +don't need libgig for compiling and using QSampler, but it's definitely +recommended. You cannot compile nor use QSampler without liblscp +though. As QSampler is communicating with LinuxSampler via TCP, there +is no linker dependency between them, but of course you still need to +have LinuxSampler installed to be able to use QSampler (either locally +or on any other computer in your network). JSampler is also communicating +with LinuxSampler via TCP, so there is no linker dependency between them +either. JSampler requires jlscp though. You have to compile and install +libgig before being able to compile and use gigedit.

+

CVS

+

This project's CVS repository can be checked +out through anonymous (pserver) CVS with the following instruction set. +When prompted for a password for anonymous, simply press the Enter key. +There are currently seven subprojects in the LinuxSampler project, pick +the line of the respective subproject you want to checkout from below:

+ + 
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxsampler.org:/var/cvs/linuxsampler \
+  co libgig
+cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxsampler.org:/var/cvs/linuxsampler \
+  co liblscp
+cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxsampler.org:/var/cvs/linuxsampler \
+  co linuxsampler
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxsampler.org:/var/cvs/linuxsampler \
+  co qsampler
+cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxsampler.org:/var/cvs/linuxsampler \
+  co jlscp
+cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxsampler.org:/var/cvs/linuxsampler \
+  co jsampler
+cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxsampler.org:/var/cvs/linuxsampler \
+  co gigedit
+ +

You don't need to checkout the sources again later on, + just for keeping track to the latest development version. For updating to + the latest CVS version you can simply run the following command at any + time from the checked out source directory:

+ + 
cvs update -d -P
+ +

You can also browse the CVS +repository.

Bootsplash theme

+

Does your computer already boot in LinuxSampler style? No? Checkout the following LinuxSampler theme for either fbsplash (gensplash) or bootsplash:

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + +
+ Screenshot 1 --> Screenshot while booting
+ Screenshot 2 --> Screenshot of terminal (here running 'top')
+

You can get this theme here.
