Package request(s): linuxsampler and friends

[muni-corn]

This is something I'm willing to work on, I just want to know how likely it would be to get it accepted into the main repository :)

The Linux Sampler Project consists of a few different packages that work together to enable musicians to use "soundfonts" and make music. Back when I was on Arch Linux, I used it to make orchestral music with Ardour.

This undertaking would add a number of packages to the Void repositories:

• libgig (dependency of LinuxSampler)
• LinuxSampler
• liblscp (dependency of QSampler)
• QSampler (GUI frontend for LinuxSampler)
• gigedit

There is also JSampler and jlscp, but I prefer QSampler and will probably save those for later.

All packages have either GPL, GPLv2, or LGPL licenses (see here). The GPL license for LinuxSampler comes with a "commercial exception":

LinuxSampler is licensed under the GNU GPL with the exception that USAGE of the source code, libraries and applications FOR COMMERCIAL HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE PRODUCTS IS NOT ALLOWED without prior written permission by the LinuxSampler authors.

[fosslinux]

I think it is ok for us to package this, but we need to install some kind of license with the package to note the commerical exception, and potentially add something in INSTALL.msg (probably unnessecary) regarding this.

Okay, I'm at a loss here. I got linuxsampler to compile successfully ONCE and I don't know what I did right. All other times it has ended with this log:

I've experimented with different dependencies and I still don't know how I got it to work. If anyone can spare a moment, check out the branch at [edit: redacted broken link :(]. I'll continue trying to work on it, but I almost feel like I've tried everything.

Thanks :)

@ericonr @fosslinux Any insight on the above comment?

[ericonr]

All I can tell is that it looks to me like you're missing libgig.so.9 from the host system... Might be missing some libraries from the command line as well.

Check that pkg-config calls were successful, too. Sometimes they fail and then the commandline ends up missing certain elements.

[muni-corn]

Does that mean libgig needs to be added to `hostmakedepends`? But it might already be there iirc -------- Original Message --------

Try from a clean chroot, run ./xbps-src zap && ./xbps-src binary-bootstrap and try again.

[fosslinux]

Open a PR so we can have a look at the actual template.

[muni-corn]

Trying from clean root now, PR #26677 is open as a draft for review

[muni-corn]

After adding a few commands I found from the Arch Linux libgig template, I'm encountering a new error:

****************************************************************
*** LinuxSampler was compiled with instruments DB support and

@ericonr:

How can I ensure that the needed libraries are being fed to the template/build?

[muni-corn]

@uzr123x Unfortunately no. I didn't find a solution with the time I had and have since hopped to NixOS

As a workaround, I know Void provides a nix package, and the Nix package repository has linuxsampler. You might consider installing and configuring the Nix package manager on your Void system and installing linuxsampler that way 🙂
