building audio/ardour on Linux, patch for libhidapi

["Dr. Thomas Orgis" <thomas.orgis%uni-hamburg.de@localhost>]

Hi,

I recently needed a fresher Ardour on a Linux box and tried getting it
via pkgsrc. I managed to do that with the supplied patch that adds a
missing dependency to libudev, the build complained on me.

Also, the Ardour PLIST needed addition of
lib/ardour6/libardouralsautil.so*c:

 lib/ardour6/engines/libclearlooks.so

I'm not sure how universal those changes are to any Linux box. Also, I
didn't get actual sound out of Ardour, maybe some conflict with
pulseaudio on Ubuntu, but I was able to do the renderings I wanted. I'm
not sure how much work I'd invest int he Ardour packaging here, as I
got other priorities. So dropping this mail to the list.

Is there anyone here interested in using Ardour and able to
confirm/deny the necessity of the patches? Of course, in the case of
libudev, we'd need to import from WIP first.

And also, if we are serious in offering Ardour for audio work, there
should be some packaging of plugins. I did not see the calf plugin suite
at first glance. I just did ln -s /usr/lib/lv2 ~/.lv2 to use those from
the host, but providing a pkgsrc package wouln't be too difficult, I
guess.


Alrighty then,

Thomas
