There is a preliminary version of the updated instructions in place.  I 
separated the wxWidgets build page from the Jazz++ build page.  The 
wxWidgets build instructions are modified, and the Jazz++ build page is 
new and incomplete (Windows instructions are not included).  There 
should be enough there to get you started.  I just wanted to make sure...

1. That the wxWidgets install does not conflict with any OS installed 
version.
2. That you don't use the jazz.cfg file under the checked out code.

Make sure you erase $HOME/.jazz before you run the code after your rebuild.

I'm sure there are errors in the instructions I just slapped together. 
If you could post the error reports here, that would be great.

Sorry I didn't install Mandriva 2007.

Thanks for the help!
Pete

Kevin,

Last night I loaded Mandriva 2008.0 and all of the required development 
tools on an extra 80 GB HD I had lying around.  I have been making 
changes to the configuration startup code.

I'm going to modify my wxWidgets build instructions on the web site to 
make sure the Jazz++ custom build and install of wxWidgets doesn't 
conflict with any "standard" version already loaded by the OS.

I'm also going to add Jazz++ build and install instructions so 
developers do not use the jazz.cfg file under the development 
directories.  This causes problems because the code frequently rewrites 
the jazz.cfg file and if you update using svn there will be conflicts 
that cause problems in Jazz++ on successive startups.

I'm happy to report I successfully built and installed wxWidgets 2.8.7 
and built, installed, and ran the current trunk version of Jazz++ on the 
Mandriva box.  No floating-point exception :-)

There is a problem when I play a midi file and exit Jazz++.  It leaves 
the jazz process running and the only way I can kill it is to reboot :-(

I'll have to look into that.

Let me Know how it's going,
Pete

Sorry for taking so long to reply.  I just got back from a week long 
vacation.

RV> I created the file 'jazz' in my home directory,

I take it you mean the Jazz++ binary?

RV> but when I started it the dialog box appeared
RV> asking me to identify the location of the

Jazz++ will do this if it cannot find the configuration file when it 
starts.  This may occur when you first run the executable or if you move 
or erase the configuration file.  The code is prompting you to indicate 
the location of the configuration file.  It will record this location 
once you specify it, and you should not be prompted for it on successive 
Jazz++ session (if you don't erase or move it, of course).

RV> At this point I navigated the dialog box to

Was it jazz.conf or jazz.cnf?

Looking at you screen shot, it looks like the configuration file was 
found, and it successfully read most of it.  See the line that indicates 
the reading of "gs.jzi".  This file name is specified in the Jazz++ 
configuration file.  The configuration file is ASCII.  You can use

$ cat jazz.cnf

to view the contents.

The "gs.jzi" file is also ASCII, so you can use "cat" to view the 
contents.  It includes the other configuration files ("gsdrmset.jzi", 
"gmdrmnam.jzi", "gsvoices.jzi", and "ctrlnam.jzi") listed in your screen 
shot.  It looks like all of these were successfully read.

My current guess is the information at the bottom of the jazz.cnf file. 
  It has ALSA input and output devices and a default MIDI file to load. 
  The path for the default MIDI file has a path that includes on of the 
prior Jazz++ developer names in it and is incorrect for your machine.

Try removing the following lines from jazz.cnf using your favorite editor.

.alsa_input_device 1
.alsa_output_device 2
.startup_song /home/joakim/music/moogtest.mid

Did that help?

RV> ...so I rebooted.

You could just kill the jazz process...

You had to reboot the machine :-(

I'm sorry about that.  Maybe when the code attached to an ALSA device 
(indicated by the line that says "created client:port 136:0") and it 
froze, not gracefully disconecting from the ALSA driver was the problem.

Are you sure you rebooted the system?

BTW I'm downloading the Debian DVD iso's.  Are you using 4.0 r3?

Re: [jazzplusplus-devel] "Floating exception"

[Robert V. <vo...@ct...>]

I created the file 'jazz' in my home directory, but when I started it the 
dialog box appeared asking me to identify the location of the jazz.conf 
file.

At this point I navigated the dialog box to 
(home)/jazzplusplus/trunk/jazz/conf at which point it does find a jazz.conf 
file. On open, it says it can't find the config file and it locks up looking 
like the attached screen shot.

It looks like the path error occurs before the dialog box appears When I 
navigate to the cfg file it produces a dialog box warning, and then locks up 
for a number of seconds.
After a while it says the box is not responding and I force quit. Again, 
here is a screen shot.

...so I rebooted. It must be that it now finds the files I added  (jazz is 
in my home directory now) because it comes up with the player screen. Only 
thing is alsa doesn't see it anymore. :(

Do you have a file called .Jazz under your home directory?

If yes, what's in it?

If not, could you create on and put the following in it...

[Paths]
Conf=LOCATION_OF_CONFIGURATION_FILES

Where LOCATION_OF_CONFIGURATION_FILES is an absolute path to your 
configuration file directory.  I have the following...

[Paths]
Conf=/home/pstieber/Jazz++/jazzplusplus/trunk/jazz/conf/

Let me know is any of this help.  I might commit a version with some

[jazzplusplus-devel] "Floating exception"

[Kevin C. <ke...@co...>]

Hiya,

I built wxWidgets and Jazz++.  I didn't install wxWidgets, but in
stead I configured jazz to use ../../blah/blah/blah/wxblah to build.
When I start ./jazz in the src dir I get this error message

(jazz:2261): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_file_system_unix_get_parent: assertion `g_path_is_absolute (filename)' failed

and then a window pops open to ask me where the jazz.cfg file is.
After clicking on that file I get a "Floating exception" as jazz 
crashes.

I had these defined in my environment from my historic use of Jazz++

JAZZ=/usr/local/jazz
WXHELPFILES=/usr/local/jazz

Undefining them does alter the behavior.

Any thoughts?

Thanks....

Cool.  I'll see what Mandriva has in their RPM spec file for
wxGTK and see if/how the config options differ.

I think we're using the word "distribution" to mean different
things.  I mean in the context of Fedora, Ubuntu and Mandriva are
distributions.  I'm not referring to distributing files.

I haven't made any changes to the wxWidgets source.  I just build it 
with configure options that are different from the stock build.

I'm guessing you will not have to deal with a wxGTK distribution, but 
building wxGTK with Jazz++ compatible options, then building Jazz++, on 
each platform you wish to create a Jazz++ distribution.  I believe 
Audacity is using shared objects (*.so files) from wxGTK, so they need 
to distribute them.  I'm statically linking against wxGTK, so you will 
not need to distribute wxGTK.  Maybe this will make distribution 
generation easier for you :-)

Aha!  That makes sense now.

Presuming that whatever additions Jazz++ requires make it into the 
next wxWidgets release (2.8.8?) then my distribution will eventually 
pick that up, including wxGTK2.8-2.8.8-1mdv2009.0.i586.rpm and its
development companions in the distribution repository and maybe even 
on the installation media.

Now I just need to decide for myself whether or not to attempt to

Yes.

wxGTK is wxWidgets.  Note that Microsoft forced a name change. 
wxWindows is now wxWidgets.  wxWidgets built for the Microsoft Windows 
API is called wxMSW.  wxWidgets built using GTK is called wxGTK.

KC> and looking to the future when my distribution

I think I understand.  Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) also 
uses wxWidgets and someone builds an RPM for both wxWidgets and Audacity 
that end up on the Fedora mirrors.  In this case, Audacity 
(audacity-1.3.2-17.fc8.x86_64) uses version 2.6.4 of wxWidgets installed 
as a package called compat-wxGTK26-2.6.4-0.8.x86_64.

There is also a more current version of wxWidgets (2.8.4) available on 
Fedora using GTK that is called wxGTK-2.8.4-6.fc8.x86_64.  We probably 
couldn't use that version because it is probably a stock build.

If I used shared objects from wxGTK, we might need something like 
jazz-wxGTK-2.8.7-0.1.x86_64, but I statically link with wxGTK.  We might 
just be able to distribute Jazz++ without a wxGTK (i.e. wxWidgets) 
distribution on Linux.

Hope that helps,
Pete

Glad to hear that was a success.

Excellent!

RV> For me it is not configured quite right
RV> though. I put in a path for install of
RV> /usr/local/bin,

So does this mean you added --prefix=/usr/local/bin to you configure line?

If you did, you don't need to do this.  The default installation 
location is /usr/local and any binary files will automatically be placed 
in /usr/local/bin.  If you specify --prefix, this is considered the 
top-level installation directory for all architecture independent files, 
and subdirectories will be created under this directory.

You can specify a particular location for the executable files, but that 
configure option is --bindir.  If you want them in /usr/local/bin, you 
don't have to specify anything because this is the default.  To see all 
of the options available to you when running configure, type

$ ./configure --help

This is standard operating procedure for the configure file generated by 
the autotools, so you can use what you are learning here for any package 
that uses the autotools.

Since the code "isn't ready for prime time" I usually install the code 
in a build directory that is in parallel with my source tree.  Under my 
home directory I create a subdirectory called Jazz++.  Under that 
directory I checkout the entire subversion repository.  This creates a 
jazzplusplus directory under Jazz++.  In parallel to (at the same level 
as) the jazzplusplus directory I create a directory called "Build".

I run configure and make from the Build directory.  This allows me to 
remove everything under the Build directory without worrying that I have 
removed something vital.

My configure command usually looks like the following:

../jazzplusplus/trunk/jazz/configure 
--prefix=/home/pstieber/Jazz++/TestInstall --enable-alsa --enable-sequencer2

That should all be on one line.  Also note that if you only check out 
the trunk, the path to configure would be shorter...

../jazz/configure --prefix=/home/pstieber/Jazz++/TestInstall 
--enable-alsa --enable-sequencer2

Notice the --prefix option.  Instead of using the default value 
(/usr/local) I let the installer create yet another directory in 
parallel with Build and the source directory.  If you do the same, you 
can run "make install" without root privilege and it will install the 
code under your home directory.  The binary (jazz) should end up in 
$HOME/Jazz++/TestInstall/bin.  If not, something is wrong.

You will also notice a directory called $HOME/Jazz++/TestInstall/share 
that contains the configuration files.  If my guess is correct and you 
you set the prefix option to /usr/local/bin you may also have a 
/usr/local/bin/share directory that should be in /usr/local/share.

Since this install is under your directory structure, you have 
permission to remove it, making an uninstall a snap.  Simply add the bin 
directory to your PATH and you can you it from it from any directory.

RV> but it actually put a
RV> binary in /usr/local/bin/bin.

I hope my guess above and explanation will help you with this.

RV> I copied the binary into /usr/local/bin and ran it.
RV> It seems to have a problem locating its own
RV> configuration file.

I haven't put much effort into this yet, but I thought I had some code 
in Jazz++ to prompt you for the location of the configuration file. 
This information is stored in a Jazz++ rc file that should find the 
configuration information on successive invocations (if it hasn't moved).

I administer the list and approved your post so they should have ;-)

Thanks and thanks for trying the build.  Look for more subversion updates.

Right now I'm trying to get the piano window doing something reasonable.

The harmony browser is next on the list.  Be patient and keep giving me 
encouragement ;-)

Does that mean that wxWidgets built with gtk2 is equivalent to
wxGTK, disregarding version numbers for the moment?

I'm trying to figure out a clean way to get wxGTK and wxWindows
to coexist on my machine, and looking to the future when
my distribution supplied wxGTK might fulfill the Jazz++
requirements.

Thanks...

[Robert V. <vo...@ct...>]

Hi Pete,

Thank you for your excellent directions. wxwidgets downloaded and compiled 
clean (the log is huge, but a quick scan shows no apparent problems.)

Also I configured, compiled, and installed Jazz++. It can open screens, it 
talks to alsa. it drives a softsynth, and displays are looking reaonable.

For me it is not configured quite right though. I put in a path for install 
of /usr/local/bin, but it actually put a binary in /usr/local/bin/bin. I 
copied the binary into /usr/local/bin and ran it. It seems to have a problem 
locating its own configuration file. (A couple of screen shots attached. 
Don't know if they'll get through on this list.)

Looks like a good start.

Bob

I'm very eager to get Jazz++'s harmony browser working again.  It's 
the only tool of its kind that I've ever seen and it's a great 
composition aid.

Thanks....

[jazzplusplus-devel] 5.0.11 tarball available

[Pete S. <pst...@ve...>]

I just made a tarball of the current SVN available at source forge. 
This version is minimally functional (plays MIDI files, but that's about 
it), but I wanted to attempt the release process and make something 
newer available on the source forge site.

Please reply to the list if I have fowled anything up or you need help 
building the code.

Thanks,
Pete

When you get those instructions, please post something here.  I'd 
like to try building on my Mandriva 2007.0 box.

Do you know the relationship between wxWidgets and wxGTK?  I've got 
the latter installed, of course the version is too old.

Thanks.....

P.S.:	I used to build & use Jazz++ years ago.  I'm glad to see
	someone resurrecting it!

[jazzplusplus-devel] New Developer Web Content

[Pete S. <pst...@ve...>]

I'm using a non-stock build of wxWidgets to compile Jazz++.  Since the 
code is still in an "alpha" development stage, you will need to create 
this non-stock wxWidgets build to compile Jazz++.

I have added instruction for creating this wxWidgets build for Windows 
and Fedora 8 (probably works for other Linux versions) on the Jazz++ web 
site.

http://jazzplusplus.sourceforge.net/developers/

Let me know if you spot any errors or typos.  Comments and suggestions 
always welcome.

Due to the setup I'm using to compile Jazz++, you will need to build 
wxWidgets.  The stock build uses different configuration options that 
will cause the complaints you are seeing.

I'm planning on posting wxWidgets build instructions on the Jazz++ web 
site.  These instructions should build a version of wxWidgets that is 
compatible with Jazz++.  Unfortunately, that will not happen until 
tonight (I am current at my day job).  Until then, this is how to go 
about it...

1. Create a directory under your home directory.  I typically use 
"OutsideSource" and change directory to that location.

cd
mkdir OutsideSource
cd OutsideSource

2. Checkout the 2.8 branch of wxWidgets using the following command. 
You must have a Subversion client loaded on your machine.  The following 
text should all be on one line.

svn checkout 
http://svn.wxwidgets.org/svn/wx/wxWidgets/branches/WX_2_8_BRANCH 
wxWidgets-2.8

3. Create a directory called "WxBuild" in parallel with the 
wxWidgets-2.8 directory and change directory to that location.

mkdir WxBuild
cd WxBuild

4. Run the wxWidgets supplied configure command with the following 
configure options.  The following text should all be on one line.

../wxWidgets-2.8/configure
--disable-no_exceptions
--disable-no_rtti
--disable-shared
--disable-compat26
--disable-unicode
--with-regex=builtin
--enable-std_iostreams
--enable-std_string
--enable-stl
--with-gtk

5. Run make using the following command.  This will write a file called 
BuildLog that may be useful if you run into trouble.

make 2>&1 | tee BuildLog

6.  If all  goes well with the build, try to install wxWidgets as root.

su
make install

Eventually Jazz++ will be using tex2rtf to build a help file.  I have a 
patch for tex2rtf that you will need to use to build it with the 
configure options listed above... but first things first ;-)

Robert I really appreciate you attempt to build Jazz++ on a Debian box.

Let me know how it's going,
Pete

[jazzplusplus-devel] Any thoughts on this ?

[Robert V. <vo...@ct...>]

Hi Pete,

I installed the 2.8.7 wx files, but I installed it using the Debian
package from the wx website. Not by compiling. It creates a config
file...

That would be great.  Look at the file LinuxInstall.txt file in the jazz 
directory under the trunk for some guidance.

The code is very primitive at this point, but I'm working on it when I'm 
not working at my "day job".

Keep me posted via the list and I'll help you as much as I can.  I 
probably will not be checking this list until the evening each weekday 
night.  I'm in California - USA.

Good luck and keep up posted,
