Re: [chuck-users] Question about unit analyzers
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.
David; Xandros is Debian-based, right? In that case I could answer questions if you get stuck. Did you compile something before? It's not as hard as it sounds; all of the stuff you need is available using Synaptic. Once you've got all of that stuff all ChucK compiles after that will be trivially easy because from there on the package manager will make sure everything you need is kept up to date. I strongly suggest you try this as the updates since the version that you have are quite relevant. The newer versions are MUCH more stable and there are fun new features. I could also email you the (ALSA version) binary I build on Ubuntu (also Debian-based, of course) but I make no guarantees at all that that will work as you might be using different versions of libraries from me or xandros might keep them in different spots. Maybe I should write "How to compile ChucK on Debian Linux for people who mistakenly believe this is a scary thing". I think I'll do that next time I do a fresh install so I'm sure I don't miss a step. Yours, Kas.
Kas,
Let me know if you want a hand with the How-To. I'm about to compile
the latest ChucK on my new netbook (!) which run Ubuntu.

Let me know if you want a hand with the How-To. I'm about to compile the latest ChucK on my new netbook (!) which run Ubuntu.
Most important will be the exact list of what to get from synaptic. Stuff like Gcc, Bison, libsndfile, some "-dev" files, etc.
From there on it's just "make linux-alsa" and "sudo make install".
The thing is that if I'd have to do it from memory I'd likely forget a file or two. Once you've done it a few times you know from the errors you get what file you missed but for people new to the process that would be a minor setback. If you could keep a list of notes of everything you need to apt-get starting from a plain Ubuntu install then that'd already be most of the tutorial right there :-). Congratulations on your new computer. Kas.
Sounds good. I think that Synaptic displays the entire list of
dependancies, so i'll use that as reference. Also, I was thinking of
screenshots... do you think that would help or not? Perhaps it would
be better to do all apt-get stuff from the command line, actually.

Mike;

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.
