Boogiehas anyone successfully compiled and installed ninjam app?15:23
len-1304Boogie, just downloaded the source.16:40
len-1304there is a file in the curses called COMPILING16:41
len-1304Of note is the last line under Linux "and hope things work."16:42
len-1304:)16:42
len-1304It says I need libogg, libvorbis, libasound so I will install the -dev versions16:43
len-1304Hmm I only have libasound2, hope that is ok.16:45
len-1304Oh ya I have to install the build environment16:48
len-1304sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall16:51
len-1304Hmm, it doesn't say in the COMPILING file but it seems libncurses5-dev is also needed.16:58
len-1304Ive added ncurses-term just in case.16:58
len-1304Boogie, OK, it says it has compiled.16:59
len-1304there is a file in ~/software/ninjam/cursesclient (~/software/ is where I opened the tarball) called cninjam17:01
len-1304Well it runs... I don't have a server to connect to so I can't try it out... There are some values that need to be set.17:03
len-1304It wants to know the server,user,password... then you need to set up the stream with the device you are using for input and it's options (hopefully the same as the session on the server)17:05
len-1304Anyway, if you just run the binary with no options it gives a usage message.... the only help you will find, and then goes into "interactive mode" and starts asking questions.17:08
len-1304Boogie, to recap... On a ubuntu system (whatever flavour) install the build environment:17:10
len-1304sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall17:10
len-1304Install the -dev packages for libogg, libvorbis, libasound and libncurses.17:11
len-1304go to the ninjam/cursesclient directory and type make.17:12
len-1304to install copy the cninjam file to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin as root (with sudo) or copy to ~/.local/bin/ (I think) Or just run it from where you compiled it as I did.17:16
len-1304TTYL17:16
BoogieThanks a lot len-1304, I was AFK, the only package I have yet to install is libncurses, which I didn't install because there are several versions of it, so I was unsure which one should it be17:23
Boogiemake: Nothing to be done for 'default'.17:29
Boogiedefault being cninjam I guess, according to the makefile17:30
Boogiewait, I guess it was installed17:31
len-1304Boogie, this is alpha software. All the normal warning go with that.17:38
Boogiei got it to run can get it to connect17:38
Boogiecan't17:38
len-1304does it tell you why?17:39
Boogieerror setting periods17:39
len-1304I would think that means your alsa device needs to already be set to the same sample rate/bit depth as the server expects.17:40
Boogieyes, but I really want to use jack17:40
Boogienot alsa17:40
len-1304ninjam is alsa. I would not use jack with it.17:41
len-1304If you do, you need a jack-alsa bridge running17:41
Boogieok, let's use alsa to test17:42
len-1304If you are using jack at low latency so you can use a softsynth or soft effects. That may also pose a problem.17:43
Boogiedid you run it thru terminal, or does it open a gui for you?17:47
len-1304As soon as you see the word curses you know there is no GUI. Terminal only.17:48
Boogiethanks17:48
Boogiei give up, I didn't really wanted to jam anyway18:00
