There's finally an updated stage4 tarball for Gentoo Studio. Aside from the usual system-wide update, this is what's new:

Installed latest stable JACK as shown on jackaudio.org/downloads (1.9.10). This was done in /usr/local/portage, as this version does not exist in the pro-audio overlay.

Switched from Ardour sources to Ardour precompiled for better VST compatibility and to ensure that everything works as advertised as much as possible. This means you will now need to manually update Ardour outside of Portage, but if you are a serious Ardour user, you already know this isn't a big deal. If you use Ardour, please consider donating at ardour.org.

Installed HarmonySEQ - a live, loop-based MIDI software sequencer.

Added pd-overlay and installed PureData. Latest version as advertised on Sourceforge does not have an ebuild in the pd-overlay, so the latest version was not installed. This will be fixed when there is an ebuild available for the latest version.

Installed Carla. In order for Carla to run, a python3 profile must be selected, so 3.3 has been made the default python profile. If you have trouble with other programs, you may have to eselect python to 2.7 for those.

Switched default gcc profile from 4.7.3 to 4.8.3.

Updated Firefox to latest official release via /usr/local/portage (35.0.1, not yet in Portage as of this tarball update).

Updated Inkscape to 0.91.

Gave the login screen a new background (it's the previous default desktop wallpaper).

The first thing that comes to mind is: Why would you want to use an older ebuild when a newer stable version is available? I'm going to upgrade wineasio in the next tarball so that 0.9.2 is the default version.

I took a look at the README from 0.9.2 and it says this:

Code:

Do the following to build for 64bit Wine.
# ./prepare_64bit_asio
# make clean
# make -f Makefile64

To install (substite with the path to the 64 bit wine libs for your distro).
# sudo cp wineasio.dll.so /usr/lib/wine/wineasio.dll.so

Finally the dll must be registered in the wineprefix.
For both 32 and 64 bit wine do:
# regsvr32 wineasio.dll


I also looked at the ebuild for Wine, and it automatically builds for amd64 if amd64 is detected. So as far as I can tell, running

Code:

regsvr32 wineasio.dll


is what you need to do on amd64, without using wine64.

Have you tried running Reaktor on amd64? I'm not sure I understand exactly what the issue is.

Greetings and thank you for Gentoo Studio.

I'm running Gentoo amd64 with
app-emulation/wine-1.6.2 USE="X alsa cups fontconfig gecko jpeg lcms ldap mono mp3 ncurses nls opengl perl png prelink realtime run-exes scanner ssl threads truetype udisks v4l xml"

media-sound/jack-audio-connection-kit-1.9.9.5-r1 USE="alsa dbus ieee1394" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7"

wineasio-0.9.2 comes with a script(prepare_64bit_asio) and makefile(Makefile64) for building a 64bit dll.
I took the wineasio.0.9.0.ebuild from Gentoo Studio and updated it thus:

Code:

# Copyright 1999-2010 Gentoo Foundation
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# $Header: $

   cp /opt/asiosdk2.3/ASIOSDK2.3/common/asio.h .
   einfo "Copied asio.h successfuly" || die "Couldn't copy asio.h"
   ./prepare_64bit_asio
   einfo "prepare_64bit_asio completed successfuly" || die "prepare_64bit_asio failed"
}

src_compile() {
   emake -f Makefile64
   einfo "Makefile64 built successfuly" || die "make failed"
}

src_install() {
   # need to be a bit tricky here
   local mylibdir="lib"
   use amd64 && mylibdir="lib64"

   exeinto /usr/${mylibdir}/wine
   doexe *.so
   dodoc README.TXT
}

pkg_postinst() {
   echo
   elog "You need to register the DLL by typing"
   elog
   elog "regsvr32 wineasio.dll"
   elog
   elog "AS THE USER who uses wine!"
   elog "Then open winecfg -> Audio -> and enable ONLY the ALSA driver!"
   echo
}


... and the build succeeds, but

Code:
$ regsvr32 wineasio.dll
Failed to load DLL wineasio.dll


... and likewise

Code:
$ wine64 regsvr32 wineaiso.dll
Failed to load DLL wineasio.dll


Without running prepare_64bit_asio script and using Makefile64...

Code:
$ regsvr32 wineasio.dll
Successfully registered DLL wineasio.dll


but still...

Code:
$ wine64 regsvr32 wineaiso.dll
Failed to load DLL wineasio.dll


My fantasy is Reaktor5 vst or standalone. That's all. I've done it before on x86,
but now everything seems to be there for 64bit. I know it's weak, but nothing else sounds like it

AFAIK wineasio-0.9.2 is the latest since 2013-10-28. I updated the ebuild app-emulation/wineasio-0.9.0 from Gentoo Studio to version 0.9.2 with
the script prepare_64bit_asio and Makefile64 as stated in the README from 0.9.2

Running regsvr32 wineasio.dll is where I'm having the problem.

The wineasio-0.9.2 README alsao says

Code:
On a 64 bit system with wine supporting both 32 and 64 applications, regsrv32
will register the 32 bit driver in a 64 bit prefix, use the following command
to register the 64 bit driver in a 64 bit wineprefix:

# wine64 regsvr32 wineaiso.dll


So ... when i emerge wineasio-0.9.2 with with prepare_64bit_asio script and Makefile64, regsvr32 fails to load wineasio.dll. Without the script and makefile regsvr32 loads wineasio.dll successfuly. wine64 regsvr32 fails either way.

Yes. Reaktor Player Demo 5.7 Installs and runs apparently, but wineasio deiver isn't available either way. Nor in winecfg.

I believe Reaktor is 64bit now also since 5.6.

I have read of troubles with installing in the wrong /usr/lib directory. I have tried mylibdir="lib64" and mylibdir="lib32" in function:

Code:
src_install() {
   # need to be a bit tricky here
   local mylibdir="lib"
   use amd64 && mylibdir="lib64"

   exeinto /usr/${mylibdir}/wine
   doexe *.so
   dodoc README.TXT
}


Maybe that's the problem. I don't quite understand that part. Any ideas? Thanks

I am installing gentoo studio with the stage4 tarball and am onto configuring the kernel. When I try to make menuconfig It posts "No rule to make target 'menuconfig'. Stop". Not sure where to go, I can't build the kernel either. When I type ln -s /usr/src/linux there is a kernel symlinked.

PostPosted: Wed Apr 15, 2015 2:31 pm    Post subject: JACK, abi_x86_32 and ieee1394 Reply with quote

There's a new multilib thing now, so you might run into Portage pestering you about jack-audio-connection-kit, abi_x86_32 and ieee1394. You can edit the ebuild to remove or comment out the following line:

Code:

REQUIRED_USE="${REQUIRED_USE} amd64? ( abi_x86_32? ( !ieee1394 ) )"


Then move that ebuild to your local overlay.

EDIT:

I did the above on one of my machines using Gentoo Studio. While updating the tarball, I took care of this in a better way, and I recommend you do it like so:

This is for jack-audio-connection-kit-1.9.10 (JACK2). I really recommend you use this version. Tweak your package.* files accordingly. Please follow these steps in the order given, even if it doesn't make sense to you (unless you're a dev and you know what you're doing).

Code:

layman -S
eix-sync


Put ABI_X86="64 32" in make.conf.
Remove ieee1394 from your use flags.
Get rid of jack-audio-connection-kit-1.9.10.ebuild from your local overlay, if you have it.

Code:

perl-cleaner --reallyall


Run perl-cleaner twice if it skips anything (that is, it starts with "emerging 1 of 76" and you check back later and it says "emerging 5 of 50").

Code:

emerge -C app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-soundlibs
emerge -C gdbus-codegen
emerge dbus
emerge jack-audio-connection-kit
emerge libffado


Put ieee1394 back into your use flags, then

Code:

emerge jack-audio-connection-kit


Please let me know if this does/does not work for you.

Here's an updated ebuild for the latest LV2: http://gentoostudio.org/index.php/ebuilds-scripts

Use your browser's search function if you're having trouble locating it. You want lv2-1.12.0.ebuild.

PostPosted: Mon Apr 27, 2015 7:10 pm    Post subject: Updated drobilla ebuild Reply with quote

This is a modified drobilla-9999 ebuild that uses >=lv2-1.12.0 instead of lv2-9999. This is useful if you'd rather use the latest stable lv2. Find the drobilla ebuild at http://gentoostudio.org/index.php/ebuilds-scripts.

Is there an ebuild around for Carla? I did a standard Gentoo install, then added the overlay, but I don't see anything related to Carla. The binaries want an older version of QT, and while building from source *appears* to work, things bail out with a Python error when I try to run it. Any hints?

Code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "source/carla", line 22, in <module>
    from carla_host import *
  File "/home/dkasak/src/audio/vst/carla/Carla-master/source/carla_host.py", line 22, in <module>
    from carla_config import *
ImportError: No module named 'carla_config'

This is in my to-do list. :)

EDIT:

Found this: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.proaudio/5649

Trying it now...

Got a PyQt4 error here. Qt is a giant PITA. I'll delve into it a little, but I'm not going to bang my head against that wall if the problem persists. It may be that Carla's codebase may have to be updated before it'll work well with the recent updates with Qt on Gentoo.

EDIT 2:

Carla now works in Gentoo Studio on my dev machine. I don't know what made it work. I meant to run cadence and ran /usr/bin/carla by mistake and it came right up. I did an exhaustive update, a depclean and a revdep. Anyway, Carla now works in the tarball (not yet uploaded, stay tuned for that).

I'm thinking of making VLC the only media player included in the installation tarball. If you were installing GS with the stage 4 tarball, would you want another media player installed?

If I solicited donations, would you donate? Donations would go toward time spent on improving gentoostudio.org, paying for hosting, documentation, the "school", and the stage 4 tarball. I wouldn't ask for specific amounts - it would be a "you choose how much" deal.

If donations ever add up to enough, I would love to get Gentoo Studio its own development machine. I currently swap out hard drives on a laptop. It's worked well this way, but having a machine used solely for GS development would be a big help, as it would mean I wouldn't have to use either my own DAW or laptop. It would mean I could fire it up any time and jump right into a fix or improvement rather than my current time-frame of waiting every couple of months (or longer), with an ever-growing to-do list.

Or hey - if you want to donate a machine to the cause, that would work, too! It would need to be a recent model, though, 64-bits, multi-core CPU, 250 GB hard drive (larger than that is not really necessary) and not less than 4 GB RAM. I have a couple of spare video monitors, keyboards and mice, so that wouldn't be needed. A laptop would work well as space is tight around here, but I'm not picky. I'm going to be moving soon anyway, and space will NOT be tight after I move.

Good news for Nvidia and rt-kernel users. I just successfully compiled nvidia-drivers-352.09 against rt-sources-3.18.11_p7. Don't know what changed, but I'm happy it now works.

Rosegarden tip:

In order to keep one hardware synth from inadvertently playing another in a multi-synth setup, you need to completely configure the Studio -> Manage MIDI Devices setup for both record and play, and have each track assigned to the correct MIDI device for both record and play - even if you don't record on that track (if you enter notes manually). You also need to set each instrument number to 1 on all tracks. (This is for soft-synths and general MIDI instruments. Not needed in a hardware synth setup.) I've found that if I don't do this, my Triton will play my V-Synth (or MoPho, depending on what step I overlooked). Which, as you can imagine, is supremely annoying.

EDIT:

I sometimes find I need to switch my V-Synth to a different "instrument" under the device selection drop-down list (from 1 to 2, for instance), in order to keep it from being triggered by another synth's keyboard.

Thanks! I have had an installer on the back-burner for Gentoo Studio for a long time. I'll put this on my list of things to check out.

Yes I'd consider donating if you asked. I'm also interested in helping out with the ebuilds, but my time is pretty scarce at the moment.

On the topic of hosting, I can host gentoostudio.org if you like. It would be on a residential ADSL2 account ( in Australia - not particularly impressive speed, but it's always up ). I'm currently hosting a bunch of sites - mainly community type stuff. I can do an apache virtual host, or you can have your own VM - I have a bunch of VMs going 24/7 as well. How much traffic gets served up, out of interest?

Just noticed that if you want to compile Audacity from svn, you need libtool-2.4.2 - not a later version. You may need to unmask it, and it might be fine to let libtool upgrade later, if you don't plan on needing to recompile Audacity.

The server stuff is good to go, but the offer is appreciated! If I ever get donations, it would simply help pay for hosting, as I currently pay for it out of my own pocket. I'm not sure how much traffic gets served for gentoostudio.org, but the install pages have several thousand hits and counting.

Helping with ebuilds would be fantastic. There's always something broken, or a newer version of software that the current ebuilds fail to build. Any help there in any amount will always be appreciated.

Yes I'd consider donating if you asked. I'm also interested in helping out with the ebuilds, but my time is pretty scarce at the moment.

On the topic of hosting, I can host gentoostudio.org if you like. It would be on a residential ADSL2 account ( in Australia - not particularly impressive speed, but it's always up ). I'm currently hosting a bunch of sites - mainly community type stuff. I can do an apache virtual host, or you can have your own VM - I have a bunch of VMs going 24/7 as well. How much traffic gets served up, out of interest?

Here's another poll question: Would you care if I got rid of the video editing stuff currently packaged in the stage 4 tarball? I'm thinking of making Gentoo Studio strictly about audio production as originally intended. Audio-for-video is an important part of that, but Ardour can handle it.

I'm seriously thinking of moving away from LXDE as the default Gentoo Studio desktop, and toward Xfce4. It looks like LXDE will be LXQT, and I am simply not a fan of Qt. I don't even know if I will be a fan of GTK in the future, as I've heard that GTK3 will require systemd (I prefer OpenRC). But I'll blow up that bridge when I get to it.

I'm also planning to redo the stage 4 tarball this year - from scratch. A lot has changed, and I want to clean out a bunch of cruft. While doing that, I am going to stop trying so hard to install packages that are difficult to compile, usually because they are not actively maintained any more. But I think in the end, it will be a much better tarball.

EDIT:

Enlightenment might give me a run for the money, too.

I still can't get carla working :(

I've managed to build it using the ebuild mentioned above. However I *still* get:

Code:
Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x40805) with this library (version 0x40807)
Aborted


How is that possible? Are there broken QT libraries on my system? Other QT apps ( eg qjackctl, skype ) appear to work.

Does 'make features' say anything interesting?
(edit: sorry, I was thinking if you just git clone it to try this)


Only thing I can remember is that dev-python/PyQt4 needs 'multimedia' use flag.

Well that d be great, xfce would be much better IMHO.it will solve the lxde ISSUES such as SESSION LOG OUT,icons disappearing etc ...
I d even be able to create 2 sessions ,one for home studio with NO NETWORK,NO PRINTER.etc ... and the other one for everything.
regarding stage 4 from scratch it would be good news too !!
