LMMS installation problem, make problem

#1 Post by over_soul »

Hi all.
I'm a musician and I'm trying to make my puppy in to a sound OS for professional music production. But I ran to one annoying problem - I can't install one of the most important programs to me (because of it's similarity to FL Studio) - LMMS. At first I tried to install LMMS 4.2.0 from a pet file which I found here. I found all the needed libs and installed them, but my LMMS install always turned dead - the program was there, installed (with some errors), but unable to start. So I decided to compile the newest version myself and make it into a pet file. As you've already guessed - I couldn't. After I ram the "make" command I got the following error:

Code: Select all

/root/Desktop/Downloads/Music/LMMS/lmms-0.4.6/include/ladspa_2_lmms.h:0: Warning: No relevant classes found. No output generated.
[ 33%] Generating moc_piano_roll.cxx

make[2]: *** No rule to make target `OPTIONS', needed by `moc_OPTIONS.cxx'.  Stop.
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/lmms.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
Please, tell me what to do. I need to install Audacity and Ardour as well. Also MuseScore and a few MIDI sequencers... I need this fast.
Please, help me in any way you can. I'm using Puppy 4.00 with gnome. I have Qt4 installed, I have devx_400 installed as well. I don't have OSS, though, but I have JACK.
Thanks in advance...

G'day,
Puppy 400 is a good version of Puppy, but eventually I moved away from it because so many features are not supported. I recommend you try using Puppy 421 Retro and Puppy 431 Retro, which are newer software packages built around the old "Retro" 2.6.21.7 Kernel (the same Kernel as Puppy 400 uses).

If you install Puppy 421 Retro and 431 Retro as Frugal Installs you could have them and Puppy 400 installed to the same Hard Drive partition, each in their own folder, choosing from a Grub menu which to use at Bootup.

Thanks for the reply, looseSCREWorTWO.
But configuring fresh puppies will take me to much time, and I'm somewhat in a hurry... Isn't there another solution?

If there is and someone has done it, the only way you'll find it would be to Google for something like:

linux LMMS

If others have solved this, go by their advice.

LMMS, as well as the other programs I listed are for linux.
