Hey folks,
sorry to ask here about an installation issue, but I couldn't think of a better
place. I downloaded laaga-0.2.3.tar.gz and built it. First the configure script
didn't check for fltk, I found out in the build that I needed it. Then, I made
install, with prefix=/usr/local. First, running 'engine' couldn't find
alsa_device.so. It was looking in /lib, as shown by strace, although no path is
given for the dlopen. Then, when I changed ae_main.cc or whatever it was to look
for /usr/local/lib/aes/alsa_driver.so, it hung trying to connect the driver.
I could fix all this, but my point is we need a more polished jack/laaga
release. All of these points are, of course, IMHO:
* 'engine' should be called jack_engine, or jack-engine, or just jack even.
or jack-server. or jackd.
* flclient should either be given a new name or not installed. also, it should
be optional to build it, and perhaps examples merit their own subdir in the
source tree.
* all references to audioengine should be removes from the code: ae_main.cc,
etc.
* the alsa driver should be either renamed (like to libjack-alsa.so) or put in a
laaga subdir of /usr/local/lib.
Thoughts? Can we get out another release, pretty please? :)
Also, any progress on the jack issue?
Best regards,
wingo
