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

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?

Thanks,
Tom

Which version slackware are you using? I recall this problem in the past but it was fixed.

Nevermind - just read your distro as 64 current. I will have a look into it, but remember that -current generally isn't supported by sbo.

OK I've just built on 13.1 x86_64 and it worked. These are the deps that I had installed:

/var/log/packages/portaudio-V19-x86_64-1_SBo
/var/log/packages/portmidi-200-x86_64-1_SBo
/var/log/packages/jack-audio-connection-kit-0.118.0-x86_64-1_SBo
/var/log/packages/liblrdf-0.4.0-x86_64-2_SBo
/var/log/packages/scons-1.2.0-x86_64-2_SBo
/var/log/packages/ladspa_sdk-1.13-x86_64-3_SBo
/var/log/packages/libsndfile-1.0.20-x86_64-1_SBo
/var/log/packages/lash-0.6.0.594-x86_64-1_SBo

Have a check that you have all those with same versions, except maybe scons doesn't matter.

I can't check on -current but it ought to build with those.

Thanks for your replies. I just checked what packages I have installed. All of the ones you mentioned are there. Any ideas?

What is the output of

ls /usr/include/port*

Can you try out this slackbuild for portmidi? I've added some manual install lines there for the includes files:

You should be able to see from the makepkg output whether it's installed the .h to /usr/include or not.

You may still have problem with portaudio.h but let me know how it goes.

If you became really pissed and midi is not a must, you can try building it with 'portmidi=0'.

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!

ok if it all goes well I'll submit that as an update.

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.
