Problem re installing package

satimis · 09-28-2005, 10:40 AM

Hi folks,

BLFS 6.1

I encountered problem on installing a small package, TimiDity, a midi player. The installing steps is straight forward;

$ ./configrue
$ make
# make install

The same steps can install this package on FC3 successfully.

Steps performed as follows;

bash-3.00$ cd /sources
bash-3.00$ tar jxf TiMidity++-2.13.2.tar.bz2
bash-3.00 cd TiMidity++-2.13.2
bash-3.00$ ./configure
> make

Code:

then mv -f ".deps/oss_a.Tpo" ".deps/oss_a.Po"; \
else rm -f ".deps/oss_a.Tpo"; exit 1; \
fi

Can you do

Code:

make uninstall

? (this would uninstall the files)

If not then look inside the Makefile find make install. This shows where it will install the files.

Hi shotokan,

Tks for your advice.

Did you create a configuration file??

Check the install documentation. You may have to create a configuration file from scratch, they may provide a default one for you to copy & customize, or there may be a utility to generate one for you. It should tell you in the documentation somewhere.

Not all packages are compile-install-run

There are a number of programs that need some config created by the admin before they can work: samba and wine are two of the biggest. So it's not unusual for the admin to do some config-writing; in fact, it's arguably just as important to verify the config before running a command that relies on it.

EDIT: The reason it may have worked on FC3 was that the package was already installed and a configuration file provided for you.

Hi Dark_Helmet,

Quote:

No. It is not required on the INSTALL instruction. The installating steps is straightforward as listed on my first posting.

I installed it about 2/3 months ago, not default installation. I have notes taken down unfortunately I could not find it. IIRC it was not so simple and straightforward. I thought the new package has improvement.

I just headed over to freshmeat.net to download a copy of the latest source of TiMidity++ (version 2.13.2). This may not be the same version you have, but I figure it's pretty close. The INSTALL file gives the basic "./configure; make; make install" instructions at the beginning, but immediately after it, there is a "[m]ore complecated way" install section. The end of that section says "set up voice data". At the end of the file, they have this section:

Quote:

======================================================================
Search for voice data
======================================================================

TiMidity++ uses Either GUS/patch, or SoundFont(, or both) as the voice
data to play. You must get a SoundFont or GUS/patch files, and make
the configuration file. You must make the configuration file (*.cfg).
By default, timidity.cfg is /usr/local/share/timidity/timidity.cfg (or
C:\WINDOWS\TIMIDITY.CFG on Windows). And please check the following
sites for many voice(patch) data:

* http://www.onicos.com/staff/iz/timidity/link.html#gus
* http://www.onicos.com/staff/iz/timidity/dist/cfg/ (Some sample *.cfg's)
* http://www.i.h.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~shom/timidity/ (10M and 4M patches)
* ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/gus/sound/patches/files/ (GUS site)

If you got funny voice archive, extract it to appropriate directory
and configure *.cfg files with the name and path of these voice datas.

It was buried at the end, but I imagine the config file has been a requirement for a while. You might be able to use the FC3 config file as a guide, but it also sounds like you need to install other stuff, and the other stuff may influence how the config is written.
