Compilation problems

• Oct 8, 2008 - 08:36

I'm trying to compile .93 on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy. However it gives me a fatal error saying that I don't have the proper ALSA, but I have a high enough version. Is there another package I need to install?

Thanks,
Scott

First I do "make release", which takes a long time.
Then I do "sudo make install", which doesn't.

After I have done the first on one computer, can I then copy that directory to another computer and do the second (install) on a different computer?

To copy an installation you have to copy the file "/usr/local/bin/mscore" and the directory /usr/local/share/mscore-0.9.

"make install" checks for dependencies and needs the whole /trunk/ directory (source and compiled binaries).

This of course works only on machines of same type (linux distribution) and which have the necessary libraries installed (notably qt4.x).

On one of my installations, the playback part of the toolbar is missing. I would like to try compiling again and reinstalling. Do I have to remove my current installation first? If so, how do I do that? (running .93 on ubuntu hardy) If not, do i just follow the instructions for installation again?

Thanks for your help,
Scott
