I have jack up and running properly. That is to say I can play amarok through it…
I’m trying to install ROTTER that I found on JACK’s application website. When I try to run ./configure I get a message saying that it can not find JACK. The exact error message is this:
No package ‘jack’ found.
I know the libs are stored in /usr/lib somewhere. My question is how do I get the script to see it? Did I also mention I’m not that good at messing with the configure script?
But I still get the same error that it can not find it. I know I’m using 0.109.2-63.6 for jack. Here’s the exact error I’m getting
checking for JACK... configure: error: Package requirements (jack >= 0.100.0) were not met:
No package 'jack' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables JACK_CFLAGS
and JACK_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
I created a package in the home:RedDwarf repository. Note that it requires libsndfile 1.0.18 (default openSUSE 11.1 comes with 1.0.17).
I has libsndfile formats support, including FLAC and Ogg Vorbis. I could also add MP2/MP3 support in ten seconds, but I don’t want to… one think is to provide patented formats playback support and another one is to incentive the creation of new MP3 files.
If someone wants to compile a version with MP2/MP3 support I made it easy. One only needs to pass “–with=twolame”/"–with=lame" to rpmbuild.
