Mike;
Perhaps it would be better to do all apt-get stuff from the command line, actually.
Yes, why not? If we are going to go that way we might as well make a "install file" that would apt-get the whole list of stuff that's missing from Ubuntu, call "make", "make install" and for all I care "chuck otf_01.ck otf_02.ck....." :-). That would sort most of these cases out quite easily. I just shared some emails with David, BTW. I send him my ASLA binary but it turns out David's soundcard needs OSS for some reason. I then thought I'd try rolling a OSS build for him but strangely my default repositories don't offer anything like "libOSS-dev" or some name along those lines. I don't think I ever build a OSS version and now I have to admit I'm not even sure what library I'd need. Do you have any idea what's up there? Maybe Xandros is configured for more modest devices like netbooks and defaults to OSS to keep CPU usage down? Another issue is that the last version packaged by mainstream distro's was 1.2.0.8. Back then I think we had a hard time getting in there because ChucK wasn't deemed very stable. These days I think a lot has changed. How hard would it be to simply get ChucK into -say- the Debian and Fedora package management systems? Kas.
