[Package request] Jamulus

[38github]

Application: Jamulus (https://github.com/corrados/jamulus)
Dependencies that I know of: qt5, jack,

Jamulus is a realtime/low latency online jamming application that is in my opinion amazing. If you are a musician I personally believe that you should try it. It is that good in my opinion! It features both a client and a headless server. If built as a single package you can still start the server with extra commands but then needs unnecessary deps.

Sorry for not remembering how to properly write a request.

It might be worth noting that the project is actually officially hosted on source forge. Anyways, here was my attempt:

However, xbps-src returns with

Project MESSAGE: Jack Audio Interface Enabled.
Project ERROR: jack development package not found

For some reason, it doesn't seem to detect the development files in the jack-devel package. I could try making a [WIP] PR, but I'm not sure if that's really appropriate to do. I'm pretty new here and don't know if trying to PR a failing package is seen as bad or not, so I just pasted my template here.

Thank you for being on it so quickly. Strange that it could not find some of the jack dev files.

[38github]

Does it need qjackctl to build?

[astralchan]

qjackctl is already in the makedepends, it's the last one I listed

[38github]

I was asking (as a non-developer though) because I haven't seen elsewhere that it needs that package when being built. I can be wrong though (extreme probability).

[astralchan]

I got recommended dependencies and build instructions from here. It's not required.

Qjackctl: Optional, but recommended

QjackCtl is a utility to help you set up the Jack audio server (installed as part of the dependencies above).

Thank you for making it clear to me.

[astralchan]

No problem. At any rate, it seems like the main issue is the jack developement files aren't being detected by qmake.

[38github]

@sletz @falkTX I do not know if you have used Void Linux and I am pretty sure you haven't seen any of the compiling output but do you maybe know why qmake do not detect jack's development files? Thanks in advance!

[38github]

@jkoderu-git I found that you have had something to do with Void Linux' jack package so maybe you have an idea?

[astralchan]

It looks like pkg-config was needed in hostmakedepends for package tracking (I probably should have guessed that, oops). I made a PR here that is passing locally on my musl machine and passing the CI checks, check it out if you want ~

Thank you for all the hard work, kawaiiamber!
