FYI: Some notes on building denemo ( http://denemo.org/index.php/Get_Denemo ) on Fedora: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Niels Mayer <nielsmayer(a)gmail.com&gt; Date: Thu, Jul 8, 2010 at 9:41 AM Subject: Re: [LAU] Denemo 0.8.18 Release - Free and Open Music Notation Editor To: Nils Hammerfest <nils(a)hammerfeste.com&gt; Cc: linux-audio-dev(a)lists.linuxaudio.org On Thu, Jul 8, 2010 at 6:50 AM, Nils Hammerfest <nils(a)hammerfeste.com&gt; wrote: I was especially excited to try this out due to it's excellent use of guile as an extension language and it's support for chording, MIDI, and Jack... very interesting and cool project. What are the advantages of Denemo over http://frescobaldi.org/ ? There were a few wrinkles to build this on fedora and I wasn't able to get it to compile completely. But I was able to run and test it and get a feel for what it does. Very nice! Here's the issues I had compiling on Fedora: (1) After successfully doing "./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-jack" make dies with After installing libtool-ltdl-devel-2.2.6-18.fc12.1.x86_64 I was able to compile further. FYI, to get denemo compiling on fedora, I had to install the following additional -devel packages: sudo yum install guile-devel  --> guile-devel-1.8.7-3.fc12.x86_64 sudo yum install aubio-devel  --> aubio-devel-0.3.2-7.fc12.x86_64 sudo yum install portaudio-devel  --> portaudio-devel-19-9.fc12.x86_64 sudo yum install gtksourceview2-devel  --> gtksourceview2-devel-2.8.2-1.fc12.x86_64 sudo yum install fluidsynth-devel  --> fluidsynth-devel-1.1.1-1.fc12.x86_64 sudo yum install libtool-ltdl-devel  -->  libtool-ltdl-devel-2.2.6-18.fc12.1.x86_64 (2) Compilation dies completely and confusingly in building documentation: I have docbook-style-xsl-1.75.2-6.fc12.noarch installed which installs using paths like /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/xhtml/docbook.xsl At this point, I tried changing some of the files with the wrong paths and everything started breaking more so I gave up.... (3) Before giving up, I cd'd to "src" and typed make. It built denemo and it runs but complains about missing files (since I never installed it). (4) Deciding I don't need the documentation, I changed the toplevel makefile to exclude documentation and rebuilt successfully. For details, see: http://nielsmayer.com/npm/denemo.COMPILE.txt http://nielsmayer.com/npm/denemo.INSTALL.txt And this is the change needed to allow compilation to complete: (5) Now it runs -- i can put notes on the screen and hear fluidsynth's output in my headphones .... It produces the following output at launch: ................................. gnulem-231-~> denemo BinReloc failed to initialize: Domain: 1 (GBinReloc) Code: 4 Message: Binary relocation support is disabled. ---------------- (denemo:583): Gtk-WARNING **: LilyToggleShow: missing action LilyToggleShow (denemo:583): Gtk-WARNING **: LilyToggleShow: missing action LilyToggleShow (denemo:583): Gtk-WARNING **: LilyCreateCustom: missing action LilyCreateCustom (denemo:583): Gtk-WARNING **: LilyToggleShow: missing action LilyToggleShow (denemo:583): Gtk-WARNING **: LilyDelete: missing action LilyDelete GNU Denemo, a gtk+ frontend for GNU Lilypond (c) 1999-2005, 2009 Matthew Hiller, Adam Tee, and others This program is provided with absolutely NO WARRANTY; see the file COPYING for details.
