cannot compile hydrogen from slackbuilds - missing portmidi.h
Hi, I'm trying to compile hydrogen using sbopkg. I have all the dependencies listed on slackbuilds.org, including portmidi. However when I try to compile hydrogen I get this error
Code:
Checking for C header file portmidi.h... no
I have looked at the contents of the portmidi package and there is no header file. Has anyone got this build to work some other way?
There was no portmidi.h file in /usr/include when I looked. I just built a new portmidi package using the slackbuild you supplied and now the header file is in there. I'm currently compiling hydrogen - it seems to be working so far!
hydrogen just successfully compiled, thanks. Now onto my next problems - getting jack running in realtime as a non-root user, and getting qjackctl to compile from slackbuild! I'll start a new thread..
Just bumping this up to note that I've now tested the original slackbuild on -current and it installs the includes fine. (There was another problem though that I've fixed for x86_64 so there will be an update.)
I think there must be something wrong in OP's system as to why the includes don't install.
