[jazzplusplus-devel] Debian Compile ...

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

I tried compiling Jazz++ on my Debian Etch stable system. It looked ok
throughout the build process, and it produced an executable. When I
tried opening the executable, it didn't prompt for a configuration file,
but it found one in my home directory. I'm not sure it is the correct
jazz.cfg though. (attached)

When I execute from the TestInstall it does open a window and a midi
file is visible there. It doesn't play though. It only makes a few low
cello-like sounds...about the first two bars... and then the curser
stops and advances no further. In another window I have an alsaconnect
gui...which does not actually see jazz++. Jack doesn't know about it.

I connect my Yamaha ES8 keyboard to a UX16 usb connector which is
configured with alsaconnectgui. Usually I can use the keyboard to
connect with a software synth or I can use Rosegarden to drive using the
alsa connectivity. Anyway Jazz++ doesn't appear to be recognized by
alsa. It doesn't show up in the alsaconnect gui.

Rosegarden complains every time I start it that the 'system timer
resolution is too low'. I know I need to find a RT kernel, but I've been
too cautious to try one yet. Soon. That's why I need to be able to
connect to an external device or to a soft synth.

Here are results for the menus.

The 'preferences' on the file menu looks to be a stub.

I didn't get far enough along to try the edit functions.

The metronome causes an immediate segmentation fault and a hard crash.

The Jazz++ harmony window looks nice. If I right click on the various
chord buttons they play the actual chords with a guitar-like sound. I
have Jazz++ set up as a GM synth. I can see the ux16 and click on it,
but it doesn't do anything.

The audio menu seems to be all stubs. Is that right ?

Help menus are unpopulated. Probably I missed the 'make' command for the
documentation (?)

I'm attaching the config.log for your consideration.
