Hi, Not sure this is the right forum, but here goes:
Since I need(want) features (namely alsa_in/out) in Jack 116 and Ubuntu Studio comes with 109 I need to build the latest. The following is from the FAQ at www.jackaudio.org with my questions mixed in: --------------- {Prerequisites * 2.4, 2.5 or 2.6 series kernel with tmpfs turned on (CONFIG_TMPFS)} Ok, so I have 2.4 from the Ubuntu Studio { * Shared memory file system mounted on /dev/shm. add the following to /etc/fstab to get it mounted at boot: shmfs /dev/shm shm defaults 0 0 (Note: you may have to make the /dev/shm directory) } Ok, so /dev/shm exists, but is mounted as devshm already. Adding the above and rebooting shows no errors in any log that I found, but only devshm shows up when I "mount -l" {Once you have the correct shmfs support, you should be able to build jack with the following sequence of commands: sh ./autogen.sh ./configure make make install } Obviously these get typed in a terminal session. But: * as root? * what directory should I be in? * where do I extract the tar ball that has the source? Haven't done anything like this in a UNIX like system since the late 1980's...so the gray cells are a bit rusty.;) Mac -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web.com – Enhanced email for the mobile individual based on Microsoft® Exchange - http://link.mail2web.com/Personal/EnhancedEmail -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
