Installing Chuck, problem with alsa / JACK / pulse/

  • 772

I typed "make", output was 

[chuck build]: please use one of the following configurations:
   make linux-alsa, make linux-jack, make linux-pulse,
   make osx, make osx-ub, make cygwin, or make win32

First, how to choose among those?

I tried all, here are the errors

make linux-alsa

g++ -I. -Ilo -O3 -D__LINUX_ALSA__ -D__PLATFORM_LINUX__ -O3 -fno-strict-aliasing -D__CK_SNDFILE_NATIVE__  -c RtAudio/RtAudio.cpp -o RtAudio/RtAudio.o

compilation terminated.

make linux-pulse

make linux-jack

    The problem is likely that you don't have the relevant development libraries installed on your machine.

    You will need to either consult the software's build documentation (such as a README or INSTALL file in the software archive's root directory) for a list of dependencies, or figure it out yourself - for the latter, the apt-file utility is helpful e.g.

    $ apt-file search 'alsa/asoundlib.h'
libasound2-dev: /usr/include/alsa/asoundlib.h
libdssialsacompat-dev: /usr/include/dssi/alsa/asoundlib.h

    suggesting you would need to install the libasound2-dev package for example.

    The apt-file package should be available from the universe repository.
