Description Jehan Hysseo 2012-11-02 04:20:58 CET

Blender has Jack transport support for audio since 2.5 but it is not activated in Mageia (Blender 2.63 on Mageia 2 and 2.64 on Cauldron).

This support is very important for professional audio/video sync, if for instance you want to edit your video in Blender and your audio in Ardour or other.

To add the support, simply add "-DWITH_JACK=ON" on the cmake command.
Then BuildRequires: lib64jack-devel

It has not been included in the blender 2.65a build for Mageia 3, so it's sad. ;-(

Note though that when Mageia will update to blender 2.67, this won't be necessary anymore to have it as a build option, because from this version jack lib presence is checked as a dynamic option:

When this day will come, it would be good if the blender package maintainer could test it works though. :-)

David, can you check if Blender now has jack support and if so close this bug report as FIXED or OLD?

jack support is 100% activated on blender since 2.73a version during mga5 development:

http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/blender/current/SPECS/blender.spec?r1=813064&r2=813063&pathrev=813064


with "-DWITH_JACK:BOOL=ON" cmake option.

# for mga5
$ urpmq --requires blender |grep 'libjack'
libjack.so.0()(64bit)

So Cauldron and mga5 have jack support enabled, but not mga4.

Thanks, so unless you want to make an update for Mageia 4 now (one week before the EOL, I wouldn't advise it ;)), you can mark the bug as resolved.

Comment 5 David GEIGER 2015-09-10 20:38:02 CEST

So ok, closing of this bug as resolved since mga5. :)
