Bug 7581

Created attachment 2887 [details]
spec file for the last svn 2366 of gigedit

NB 
You need to download the last svn revision
Use Make -f Makefile.cvs on the downloaded directory
Compress the modified directory in tar.bz format
Name it gigedit-svn2366.tar.bz2

Gigedit can now be built on Mageia2

Just needs a desktop file ?

NB
Better to use it with the last svn revision of gig :
we can now work on soundfonts .sf2 or .sfz

Attachment 2887 is obsolete: 0 => 1

Damn!
I forgot the .desktop file - and I did think about it when I ran it to test :\
I'll fix it tomorrow, it's getting late - in the meantime it's in Cauldron less desktop file.
Philippe, I wonder if there is an icon anywhere for it?

Hi Barry

I didn't find any icon for gigedit

Anyway Gigedit may have a desktop file to work as a standalone application, (I used to launch it from a command line)
but it may be launched from inside qsampler to edit a sample file (there's an edit button that launches gigedit from the channel used in Qsampler) this never worked for Mandriva...

And I discovered an omission in the spec file imported from mandriva that prevents to launch gigedit from qsampler (that's an imported mandriva's bug ...we may get rid of it ) :

 the list of files to install in the lib rpm must contain
 " %_libdir/linuxsampler/plugins/*.so" too
that means :


%package -n %{libname}
Group:		System/Libraries
Summary:	Libraries for %{name}
Provides:	%{name} = %{version}-%{release}

%description -n %{libname}
Libraries from %{name}

%files -n %{libname}
%_libdir/gigedit/libgigedit.so.%{major}*
%_libdir/linuxsampler/plugins/*.so


I just corrected this, rebuilt the rpm and now it works :
That's an antenatal bug correction in Mageia !



I noticed too that in your cleaned spec, the devel rpm doesn't contain the *.a files but only the *.so ones... is it your intention ?

Thanks again
Philippe

OK if you find an icon let me know - otherwise I'll make something.

I moved libgigeditlinuxsamplerplugin.so from -devel to lib in svn but I'll wait until I add a .desktop before committing.
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/gigedit/current/SPECS/gigedit.spec?view=log

Yes I removed *.a, *.la as per Mageia library policy:
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Libraries_policy#.2A.la_files
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packaging_guidelines#Packaging_Static_Libraries_2

Let me know what you think about the rpm groups on all these packages - I used Sound/Utilities on some before I saw you had used Sound/Midi - look here and let me know which is most appropriate for each, as you know them well.
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/RPM_groups_policy

Thanks.

The chosen groups seem OK

(only gigedit may be in Sound/Midi instead of Sound/Utilities it would be easier to find it in the same group as Qsampler)

I only found a mimetype icon from Mageia that will fit for gigedit
You may find it in /usr/share/icons/oxygen/128x128/mimetypes/audio-midi.png :
it exists in every format
I attach it

Created attachment 3098 [details]
an icon from oxygen for gigedit

it would be better to find an icon with a waveform instead of the score above the keyboard... I didn't find any !

OK now has a desktop file - done and submitted.

Closing as fixed - please test;)

Thanks for all your help Philippe. :)

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

Thanks to you Barry !!!

I downloadeded your srpm
Built rpms for Mageia2
installed them

Gigedit can be launched from inside Qsampler !!! the mandriva's bug is resolved \o/

otherwise :
Gigedit can be launched from the KDE menu (in "sound and video" sub menu)
 thanks for your desktop file

Everything is OK for Mageia2 :
Every package from the linuxsampler group is fine, and interacts correctly with the others...

No bug to declare !

The svn files corrected lots of problems that prevented to build on Mageia2 with the current tar ...

I can't yet test them on a Cauldron but we may guess that if they could fluently be built they will fluently work...

There were some musicians using Mandriva... they surely will get interested with Mageia

Excellent - you did it! Your persistence paid off :)

So, just lv2 now and that's maybe not so easy since it needs collaboration.
I will c.c. the the maintainer on that bug and see what can be done. I think only one matters as the other is not even mentioned in the revision logs.

Cheers,
Barry
