It was provided by Mandriva 2010.2 It's a Samples Editor from linuxsampler project I tried to adapt the spec file and to create patches but I'm stuck If anybody have more skill he's welcome ...

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

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 => RESOLVEDResolution: (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
