> I believe the library you need is "libasound2-dev". If you get that and anything it depends on (this should include the alsa base-system, in case you don't have it yet) you should be set. I already have libasound2 v1.0.13-2 installed on my machine (although I don't know if it's really installed correctly and working). Do I need to install the 'dev' version of the library to use the ALSA version of Chuck? Or is the version I have too old? David.

Re: [chuck-users] hanging server client & mA?

When you say that sometimes they aren't so good about releasing ports, do you mean even after quitting mA, its ghost may still be blocking the port? Is there a way to flush the ports without shutting down the machine and rebooting? (Because sometimes that seems like the only thing that works.) Is there a way to scan ports and see what/who is using them? dan trueman writes: > if mA has been running (or anything else that might be using OSC) > and using similar port #s, things will get hung. definitely make > sure all other OSC things are quit on those machines; sometimes they > aren't so good about releasing ports. david David Loberg Code School of Music Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, MI 49008 code(a)wmich.edu

Hi! I was able to compile Chuck for OSS, but when I tried to compile it for ALSA, I got dozens of error messages on 'rtaudio.cpp': ++ -D__LINUX_ALSA__ -c -O3 -fno-strict-aliasing rtaudio.cpp rtaudio.cpp:3414:28: error: alsa/asoundlib.h: No such file or directory rtaudio.cpp:3421: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of ‘snd_pcm_t’ with no type rtaudio.cpp:3421: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘*’ token rtaudio.cpp: In member function ‘virtual void RtApiAlsa::initialize()’: rtaudio.cpp:3452: error: ‘snd_ctl_t’ was not declared in this scope rtaudio.cpp:3452: error: ‘handle’ was not declared in this scope rtaudio.cpp:3453: error: ‘snd_ctl_card_info_t’ was not declared in this scope etc. Anyway, the OSS version seems to be working. I haven't tried any of the Unit Analyzers yet, that's the next step. Thanks for your help.

hanging server client & mA?
by David Loberg Code 31 Oct '09

31 Oct '09

Clixserver has been so temperamental. It often happens when new clients are added, that a couple of people will have their CliX get hung up in between "mouse ready" and "keyboard ready". (Everyone else will be fine and clicking away.) I can't identify an obvious reason (e.g., they are listening on the wrong port number). It seems more likely to happen if mini-Audicle is on or was used recently. Is that plausible? (Obviously we're not running CliX in mA, since KBHit doesn't work there.) thanks in advance, david David Loberg Code School of Music Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, MI 49008 code(a)wmich.edu

Sorry Kassen, here is more background. CliX is a piece (by Ge) that is a staple of the PLOrk repertoire. http://plork.cs.princeton.edu/Repository/current/pieces/CliX.zip The members of the group run CliX, which maps ascii on to an Impulse ugen to make little clicky sounds. The conductor runs Clixserver, which sends and receives timing cues so that everybody plays in sync. It should be a simple, pull-out-of-the-box, instant piece for a group to play, but we keep having scattered individuals getting hung up when they are binding with the the server program. david David Loberg Code School of Music Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, MI 49008 code(a)wmich.edu

Writing multi-channel output to a WvOut
by Andrew C. Smith 31 Oct '09

31 Oct '09

Hey all, I haven't really even looked at this before recently (never wanted to record non-realtime, and just used Jack/Logic before), but now I'm doing stuff that lags badly in real time so I'm running ChucK in --silent. Anyway, how do you write multi-channel output to a WvOut? The UGen specs and examples aren't really clear on this, and whenever I do a dac => WvOut w => blackhole; I get single-channel audio, even when I have the dac running in stereo. Thanks a lot. Andrew

Re: [chuck-users] Compiling Chuck for Debian (was: Question about unit analyzers)
by David 30 Oct '09

Actually, I downloaded the old version from one of the Debian repositories. I guess they don't have the latest version of Chuck yet. If someone has already gone to the trouble of compiling the latest version for Debian, maybe they could just send it to the Debian folk. I'm not sure what the process is for adding a package to a repository. I've compiled small programs of my own before, but I'm kind of reluctant to try building something like Chuck, because of the time, and the need to install any dependencies. I'm running Xandros (Debian-based) on an ASUS eeePC, and from what I understand, it's an old version of Debian, so I might have to install a newer version of gcc, and I don't know what else. I tried the ALSA version of Chuck that you sent me but got an error message about a missing DLL (don't remember which one, and I'm not at home right now so I can't check). Anyway, thanks for all your help. Maybe I'll have some time on the weekend to try downloading the source and compiling it.

Thanks. I didn't build it, I just downloaded the executable from somewhere. I'll look for a more recent version, or try it build it if I can't find one.

Question about unit analyzers
by David 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hi! I'm new to Chuck, and I'm trying to run some of the examples for unit analyzers, but I'm getting an error message like "[ifft2.ck]:line(2): undefined type 'FFT'..." wherever I declare a UA. For example, in this: //chuck.cs.princeton.edu/doc/examples/analysis/fft.ck I'm running version 1.2.0.7 (dracula) under Xandros Linux. It seems to be installed properly, I can run other sample programs using Ugens, read/write audio data, etc. It just seems to be the UA's that aren't working. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Let's pick up the tweet-length gauntlet!

Look at what our esteemed colleagues / mortal enemies did; http://supercollider.sourceforge.net/sc140/ Way cool stuff. Should we try our own version? I'm sure we could get the webspace at EM and I'd know a good flash designer who could make us a player. Who's game? Maybe Les feels called to curate this? Les has his radio show with a chat-room that could be used to determine what pieces appeal to a audience and which ones are less popular? Yours, Kas.
